Great Day Trip to Ghent! - I had a great day with Sophia! She took me on a history-filled tour around Ghent. Her sense of humor made the history come to life and I was engaged during the whole tour. Because I hadn’t had lunch yet, we even worked in a stop at the oldest restaurant in Ghent, where I had local beer, meat, cheese, and mustard. It was an experience I could not have had without Sohpia- it felt like spending the afternoon with a friend. Such a great day!

Wonderful experience - Martin was fabulous! Taking a private tour, we were able to stop and ask questions, go at our pace, see what was important to us. Martin was patient, extremely knowledgeable and clearly has a passion for his city. We learned the history of Ghent in a very enjoyable manner. He also gave us great tips for dining and additional sightseeing.

Great orientation tour, Debora was wonderful! - We had a really good time on this tour. Debora was very personable and gave fantastic information. We were even a bit late and she kindly waited for us! We got to see the Korenlei, Saint Bavo's Cathedral, The Belfry, and The castle of the Counts along with a few other things. Debora also gave us some great recommendations on what to do for the rest of our visit including seeing the Adoration of the Mystic Lamb and a great place to eat.
