Reviews from guests about our tours and locals
"“Ben” is an excellent tour guide He is well informed and cares about Ghent. This shows throughout your journey through town. He takes the time to explain history and attempts to blend time and architecture to the cultural changes of the town and its governance. From churches to guilds to city hall. He takes you through the changes to Ghent over the past century as it comes into its heyday as a port town. He can also shows you places to eat and shop that are authentic to the town and history. Highly recommend. "
"Patrick was an excellent tour guide to his hometown of Bruges!! He had tremendous knowledge, energy and passion! The 2 hours went by too soon. Next time we’ll book the 3 hours tour. He also provided us with tips of excursions and dining. He was the best and our time with Patrick was indeed the highlight of our trip here. "

"Patrick was an enthusiastic knowledgeable guide! As a local he had all the information we could possibly want. Yummy food and drinks as we meandered through the city. "
"We just returned from a wonderful couples trip. We had Xavier for two tours while we were in Bruges. A city tour as well as a beer tour. Both were fantastic. Xavier truly enjoys sharing his city with people, We learned soo much of the history of Bruges. It's one on my favorite cities in Europe. He gave us a lot of great recommendations on places to eat. The beer tour was equally fantastic. We learned too much about the art of beer and the different kinds. I would highly recommend Xavier for any tour."
