Excellent tour, Andrea our tour guide was amazing, she was really helpful and full of knowledge about Ghent and Bruges. The tour was great and really worth. The only issue was we got the information from GYG saying the tour was 8:30, where actually it was 9am. The other important information that could be provided ahead was the boat tour needs to be paid in cash. But even thought I give 5 stars for the tour guide!

Gent and Bruges are fantastic, but without a good guide you will just see panoramas! Andrea was perfect guide, knowing alot of history and many details! She made that trip unforgettable! Only can recommend this perfect day! Bravo! Very satisfied! Program was organized very well, free time too! Thanks for this opportunity!

The trip was incredible. It is perfect to know in general 2 great cities rich in history. Stefan our guide was amazing. Very friendly, active, knowledgeable about history and many details about it (apart from the fact that he speaks several languages and very well). Jimmy the driver just as attentive and excellent. All 10/10
