Fun Boat Tour - The boat tour was highlight of our trip to Ghent. The tour was well-organized, and the staff was friendly and knowledgeable. Our guide shared fascinating insights about the city’s history and landmarks, making the journey even more enjoyable. They even let my 6 year old son drive the boat for few minutes that absolutely made his day.

Fun, Historical and Memorable - The historical facts and humour were on point making a very enjoyable boat tour. Our guide was well versed not only in facts but had great linguistic skills.

Boat Tour - We loved my wife, and ami. The guide is very good, he takes his time to explain. The only thing is the cashier, who was rude. That's why 9-10. But I recommend it anyway.

A great tour. - A great boat tour! The boats had roofs for a wet day! The guide was very informative and funny. Led our tour in three languages. We really felt like we got to learn a lot about the city on this tour and oriented ourselves well for things we wanted to see after. It’s worth taking a break to do this tour.

Well worth it - The boat trip was well worth the time and money. The guides information was great but the view from the water was phenomenal.
