Experience the best of
Ghent with Withlocals

"Had a great time with Benedikt- gave us a fascinating, entertaining and informative tour around Ghent. A great experience- thanks so much! Peace and Love from The Mystical Lamb!! LOL "

"Hilde is a fantastic tour guide. She is very knowledgeable and we thoroughly enjoyed our time spent with her. You will not be disappointed with her overview tour and will most likely leave with chocolates in hand! Well done Hilde, it was a pleasure! "

"Jay was entertaining, a font of historical knowledge and knew everyone in town. The tour was masterfully choreographed as we wove our way through the center of town with frequent stops for tasty treats including excellent beer. It was a great afternoon!"

"Lavigne was a wonderful guide. We truly loved our time with her. She was so informative and we were able to see the highlights of the city even though the crowds were massive due to her knowledge of the back streets. I would highly recommend her!"

"Hugo made sure to understand my interests and expectations so that he could customize the tour appropriately. We visited 3 unique beer cafes, each with great character/charm, each further removed from traditional tourist areas and each older. Got to have multiple beers and taste even more across a broad spectrum of tastes and styles. Learned a lot about Belgian beer and life in Bruges."

"Had an exceptional tour with Lavigna - knowledgeable and friendly and full of interesting information about historic and beautiful Bruges. Lavigna also shared recommendations including the best chocolate shops (very delicious) and we visited several impressive historical sites around the town. A delightful guide I would strongly recommend Lavigna for a tour in Bruges. "

"Patrick was so friendly, helpful, knowledgeable and flexible. Really worth the money to see the sights with his insight! "

"Igor really enlightened us with his knowledge of history about the town of Bruges. He showed us much of this beautiful town. I would highly recommend him as a guide!!"

"We had a great time with Jay. He was funny and informative. He gave us a lot of history while treating us to some really yummy bites of Bruges . The beer was delicious as well. I called him the unofficial mayor, as many people greeted him and he took us places that only he knows about. Highly recommend."

"Ben turned our day in Ghent into an unforgettable adventure! His knowledge of the city is truly impressive, but what makes him exceptional is how he brings history to life with humor and interactive engagement. He constantly checked if we were paying attention with clever questions and funny quips that kept everyone—even our youngest son—thoroughly engaged throughout the tour. The hidden gems Ben revealed were amazing! He showed us a secret spot behind the Castle of the Counts for perfect photos (tourist-free!), expertly guided us through Saint Bavo's with fascinating insights about the Ghent Altarpiece, and introduced us to Ghent's vibrant street art scene including the must-see Graffiti Alley. His restaurant recommendations were spot-on, and the award-winning local chocolatier he took us to was a delicious highlight! If you want a thorough, fun, and personalized experience of Ghent that goes beyond the typical tourist route, Ben is absolutely your best choice. His passion for his city is contagious!​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​"
