The tour was informative and the captain spoke 3 languages. It’s a great view of the castle and other beautiful parts of the city.
The canals in Gent are not as charming as in Brugge, but still it's a nice way to see the city. The tour takes 40 minutes, you have a chance to see e.g. the Gravensteen from a different perspective. The tour was given in 3 languages, including English, although at times we found it a bit difficult to understand it. Be prepared with a rain coat or an umbrella, as the weather can change really quickly.
Super fun and interesting tour. Tour guide was very friendly and very funny. Only recommendation is to bring an umbrella for hot days. It was very warm on the boat in the direct sun. Super fun and worth it!
Experienced skipper and interesting commentary. We had good weather and enjoyed the ride. Seats a bit uncomfy.
Was a Lovely but very rainy experience. The city is beautiful, the tour was short but very interesting. Would definitely recommend if you’re looking for a cozy touristy activity. The price is also quite cheap.
Really enjoyed the canal trip. Our captain was very charming and we loved his guide during the 40 min trip. Would definitely recommend.
Wonderful tour with funny and knowledgeable guide. Beautiful!
Very pleasant, the guide was very nice, and in addition, the weather was ideal. Ghent is a very beautiful city to visit; we had an excellent day.
Enjoyable tour with a friendly and knowledgeable guide. Gave us some fun history of the area and joked a bit also.
Amazingly beautiful! I couldn’t ask for more, the canal cruise in Ghent is truly inspiring, the scenery the feeling I just can’t explain the thing is you should experience it so you will understand truly the medieval times.
