    Well organised. Guide looked after the group. Answered the group's questions. Very knowledgeable and suggested recommendations for lunch and shops. The driver was good. Nice smooth journey and was on time with regard to the journeys to Gent (Ghent) and Bruges. The guide spoke clearly especially as English is not his first language. Highly recommend this tour.

    It was a beautiful day. Teresa, our guide, told us tons of interesting information about everything we visited (repeating everything in 2 languages, both English and French). The times were respected perfectly and I recommend taking the boat trip. Not to be missed if you have one more day in Brussels and don't know what to do :)

    Everything was so easy from checkin to the tour and the app made it so easy to find where to go! Jan our guide was so informative and made sure we knew where to be and what time. So nice that he took care of booking the extra boat ride and collecting in Bruges. The bus was spectacular and very comfy. The walk was incredible 12 km all together so wear good walking shoes! We will definitely recommend this tour to all of our friends.
