Terrifying tour of gruesome Ghent - Well, not too terrifying. But a super informative and fun tour with Isabelle who also took another group of our friends around a couple of weeks ago. So much fun, and we saw a different darker side to this amazing city which looks extra beautiful at night. Thank you Isabelle!!

Really good tour - Kenny was our guide, he was very knowledgeable, friendly and made the tour exciting. We had eaten early in Ghent and wasn't sure where to go in the evening, we stumbled on this tour and we wouldn't have visited the places on the tour or found out about the gruesome history either !!!
