Nice tour of Ghent

What a fun experience! Tom is rightly very proud of this beautiful city of Ghent! Tom is a fantastic storyteller. I visit Ghent a lot myself, but Tom still managed to tell me some nice news. Great! Enjoyed it!

A delightful morning in Ghent with Charlie’s Tours!

Our guide Tom was great and we loved learning about his hometown of Ghent, its history, its people and the best restaurants and activities in town (as well as some to avoid!). Highly recommend.

Great Family Tour

Mandy was a fantastic tour guide. We took the tour with our five and eight-year-old sons and she put together a tour bingo activity for them that they loved. She was very knowledgeable and kind. We definitely recommend this tour.

The best guides in Ghent

If you want a nice, spontaneous and anything but boring guide in Ghent with a juicy Ghent accent, you should definitely call on Charlie Tours. They are great. Professional, looking for a solution even when they are full, very friendly... in short, fun, fun and light-hearted! Thx for the nice tour Louis. Oh yes, and read the FAQs on their site. Then you immediately get into the atmosphere of the kind of guides they are 🤣. Simply wonderful!

Beautiful Ghent

Our guide, Debi, was informative and delightful. It was raining so she made every effort to get us out of the rain when possible but still make it a great experience. Loved all of the sites and especially the chocolatier!
