Catherine – FranceDecember 5, 2023 – Verified booking
Very beautiful and big day visiting Ghent and Bruges. Both towns have a lot of character. The visit allowed me to realize that these two cities are worth the trip. I would have stayed there longer! Very well organized, you have enough time to see the main attractions of the cities. The guide tells the history and highlights of each of them. You should expect there to be a lot of people in Bruges, especially during the Christmas market period! And you have to be well dressed!

Well done to Veronica, a guide of absolute gentleness and attention. Christian the driver is an excellent tandem. This release exceeded my expectations. I learned a lot and rediscovered history from the Belgian perspective. I loved the churches of Ghent and Bruges. The presence of Catholicism is incredible in the North of France. Veronica is full of humor and references that made me want to do some research. Your concept is well organized and unfolds at the will of each person. This freedom in a framework deserves my professional applause. Beyond that, my daughter and I smoke happily. This visit during the period of lights and before Christmas left me with images and a real desire to return. AT TANTOT

We hadn't had the best luck that day because unfortunatelly a storm strarted and we had to go back to Brussels after visiting Ghent. We were offered the chance to make again the tour the next day but we chose the a part of cash back. I will certainly take again this trip next time i will go to Brussels. ❤ Everything would have been great if it wasnt for the bad weather.
