Highly recommend the day trip to Bruges and Ghent if one is tight on time and cannot spend a full day each of the cities. The walking tours covered all the important sites and our guide Veronica gave a very detailed account bringing their historical significance to life. There was just enough free time to grab a meal and do some souvenir shopping. Loved both the fairytale towns and highly.recommend making the time to visit both while travelling through Belgium!

Miguel was an extremely knowledgeable guide with excellent English. My husband and I were hesitant to take a tour outside of Brussels, because we would only be there for two days but it was absolutely worth it. I do wish we could have had more time to explore Ghent, but both walking tours were filled with history and recommendations on what to do during free time. We were able to see a chapel from the 12th and 15th centuries as well as Michelangelo’s Madonna of Bruges. We loved it! Thank you, Miguel!

A good way to see Bruges and Ghent in a day. The guide was great. Bruges is very busy with tourists, but Ghent was beautiful. Not a lot of free time, but the guide made sure we saw all the sights. Would definitely recommend if you're only in the area for a short period of time.
