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!

Not a food tour - Ghent itself is beautiful and the tour guide was extremely knowledgeable about its history. But this was not a food tour. It was a history walking tour. Over the course of 3.5 hours, we had 1 prosciutto sample, 1 croquette, 1 marzapan candy, 1 Ghent local candy, 3 candy samples from the oldest candy store, we STOPPED at a chocolate store, and then had 3 chocolate tastings from a different chocolate tour. Unfortunately to me, candy isn't food and I was famished. I deliberately didn't eat beforehand assuming I would eat food during the tour, and was left disappointed. Again, the tour guide was professional and the city is beautiful. So if you're more interested in history over eating, then this is the tour for you.
