Discovered beautiful places in Ghent. full of surprises. pleasant, really great! We're gonna do this again.
Had a nice afternoon and saw places we would never have gone otherwise.
Hartelijk dank voor je beoordeling, jammer dat je ervaring niet in alle opzichten perfect was, we gaan aan de slag met jou feedback!
Some of the stops were not that interesting. The bicycles were old.
Thank you very much for your review. We're sorry your experience wasn't perfect in every way, and we'll take your feedback into account!
Tim has given us a great bike tour. Chapeau! Recommended if you really want to see Ghent. Informative, clear and cozy. Highly recommended!
Great tour with super friendly guide! Beautiful spots, lots of information and great tips for further stay in Ghent. We were in a group of 11 with four friends and it was just fun.
Super fun bike ride! You'll see places of Ghent that you wouldn't otherwise see! Very nice guide, good stops thank you!
Heel graag gedaan en dankjewel voor de mooie review! Tim
Nice trip, you came to places you probably wouldn't have gone yourself. Nice guide, who could tell the history of the city in an interesting way, bringing the places, buildings and water to life
Hartelijk dank voor de mooie review, Groeten uit Gent, Tim
Tim is very nice but has considerable momentum during the bike ride. Someone in the group had fallen, but he didn't realize it. Even at busy intersections, there was no eye for those who cycled behind. There's almost no time to take pictures. The information he tells you is very superficial and you can also find it with a round of Google. A little more depth or separate facts makes the story and the bike ride more fun and engaging.
Jammer dat de tour niet helemaal beantwoordde aan jullie verwachtingen. Ik deed echt mijn best om er voor iedereen een leuke tour van te maken. Groeten uit Gent, Tim
Beautiful bike ride and discovered places in Ghent that we would not otherwise have seen. Tim knew a lot about the locations visited!
