Experience City tours in the best of
Ghent with Withlocals

"Hugo was amazing. He met us at the hotel in the historic district and we set out. It was a hot day but Bruges was beautiful and after a few minutes in the regular tourist frequented area, Hugo took us to the historic parts of Bruges normally not visited by tourists and regaled us with some gems of Bruges history. The canalized river flows in and out of the city like long fingers, houses, restaurants and hotels hugging her sides. Hugo was kind enough to let us take a break at the oldest cafe in Bruges, far from the madding crowd! He is a veritable font of knowledge and I’m thrilled I chose him for our tour. "

"We enjoyed the tour and felt it was a very worthwhile intro to Brugge. Igor’s English is perfect."

"Wow...can't tell you what an awesome experience it was with Martin. He was such a great guide, he 'read the room' adjusted his time, stories, interest and nailed it. We had a family of 5 with 3 'kids' ages 20, 17 and 15 and he figured out exactly how to make the tour perfect for us all."

"From the moment with met at our hotel, Ann was gracious and generous. She introduced us to Dumon chocolates - one of Belgium's famous brands. We explored all of the highlights of Bruge with a comprehensive city history as we strolled through churches, monuments and historical buildings. We very much enjoyed the boat ride on the canal which gave us a unique perspective of the city. Ann then showed us the "land view" of the museums, parks, and alleyways and small streets not usually afforded to many visitors (such as the Weaver's Village). She made the perfect amount of stops for local food favorites which we appreciated. We had a great day in Bruge with Ann and we highly recommend booking a tour with her. Thanks again Ann!!"

"Hugo was terrific. He walked us away from the crowded tourist areas to show us quieter streets that were beautiful. He also gave us so much background on Bruge, weaving together history (ancient and recent) with culture, music, politics adn his own experiences. We really enjolyed ourselves. "

"Ben was such a gracious host of Ghent! We thoroughly enjoyed our time with him, along with his anecdotal and historical … and sometimes even comical … insights regarding Ghent. We’d absolutely recommend Ben for a truly personal experience in Ghent. Many thanks, Ben!"

"“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. "

"Benedikt is an expert on Ghent history. He’s a passionate storyteller making the history come to life. We appreciated his tour very much. Highlight of our trip!"

"Excellent informative afternoon with Benedikt. Well paced and covered so much of Ghent's charm, history and architecture. A great introduction for our stay and he was willing and able to answer our extra inquiries for the balance of our stay. Start your visit with Ben!"
