    Ann the Awesome

    "Ann was a great guide for my family of four, including 2 teens. She shared history, culture, and great food with us during our 3 hour tour together. She even brought us some delicious chocolate from a favorite local shop, and helped us find a holiday ornament too. Highly recommend touring with Ann!"

    Perfect time

    "We had a great experience with Ben as our tourguide and enjoyed his expertise, humour and recommendations for places to go very much. He is very fond of European history and art, but also knows about the current hot spots in the city. As he loves to travel himself, he has a fine sense for an authentic experience. Thank you for sharing your time with us!!!"

    Merel the magnificent!

    "What a wonderful view of Ghent through Merel’s thoughtful and informative tour. This is exactly what I wanted and why I travel! Merel showed us highlights and hidden gems of local eateries to experience Ghent. And I can’t say enough good things about the snacks she gave us, including something she baked herself that was still warm from the oven when we met. Thank you so much! "
