What to absolutely do in Gent - I was, along with 40 other people, invited to celebrate a friends 40th birthday. Your tour was fun, tasty, filled with mindboggling factoids about Gents history and generally a very pleasant way to spend a few hours before dinner! I ejoyed your tour very much, and I know that everybody from our group that I spoke with agree! Johnny Dittmann

Experience the real Ghent! - We had a great afternoon with Nick from Charlie Tours! His passion for his city and the enthusiasm with which he explains the even lesser-known secrets of Ghent made this a great experience. If you want to learn about the real Ghent, visit some of the small local shops, taste some local specialties and just have a great time: we can highly recommend you to book a tour with Charlie Tours!
