Fantastic tour for first timers to Belgium

Levi was a fantastic guide. Very in formative and very relaxed. We never felt under pressure for time and stopped at numerous spots for photos or shopping. Showed us Al of the major attractions in both towns plus more! Had a chance to taste some begun beers and famous fries. Could not recommend this tour enough. We learnt everything about the two cities and we will for sure go back however this time for a few days to explore these beautiful cities.

Excellent Experience and Brilliant Guide

We enjoyed spending the...

We enjoyed spending the day seeing Bruges and Ghent. The towns are a wonder and the history was very interesting. On previous visits we enjoyed seeing the Madonna and Child in Bruges and the Ghent Alter Piece on the Adoration of Christ. We were surprised and disappointed that neither of these beautiful works of art were included in this tour.

Dear Sharon Thank you for your review. In the past I always proposed this sites, they both at additional cost, and many who chose to pay to see that was disappointed, but I take your comments and I will propose it again, and let the customer decided. However I've said that many times during the day, that this is your private tour we can modify that to your wish, and as we've been on both site, I wish you would express your wish to see this monuments. Greetings to Darryl ;)) Levi

It's like going on a trip to Bruges and Ghent with a friend.

The tour was fantastic! Our guide, Levi, was both knowledgeable and entertaining. He was friendly and helpful, and I especially appreciated that he took us to his own hidden spot to enjoy the view and try some waffles. I will definitely recommend this tour to anyone looking to explore Bruges and Ghent in a single day!
