Alexandra – Romania

For me it was amazing ❤️ The guide was very involved, I learned so much about Ghent, and the food delishhh 🫠 Be sure to go on this tour with an empty stomach, there will be a lot of food. Also the places are very nice, I liked a lot the one with food and beer included. Can’t wait to experience it again, maybe next year

The Belfry Tower is the tallest of its kind in Belgium and a Unesco World Heritage-listed site. Make sure to take some photos of these picture perfect sights.


Meet your guide in the historic center of Ghent and set out on your foodie walking tour. As you walk, learn about local culture, discover the city's most important landmarks and find out why Ghent became famous for its street art.


See Korenmarkt, a historic square located between the Old Harbour and Saint Nicholas' Church. Wander along cobblestone streets and admire the intersecting rivers that lend this historic town its character and name.


You will also have the opportunity to see important architectural highlights, including the Ghent City Hall (stadhuis) and City Pavilion (Stadshal).


Along the way, you'll make a total of 5 stops to savour the tastes of Ghent, sampling a food specialty or drink at each one.


Every location has been carefully chosen, with an emphasis placed on small, locally owned businesses. Interact with the proprietors and hear their stories to gain insight into the city of Ghent and its people.
