Tour Options
Itinerary
The Graslei and Korenlei are the most beautiful spots in town offering a stunning skyline of preserved medieval port houses and buildings.
this bell tower offer stunning views on the two neighbouring churches as well as the rest of the medieval city. One can climb (or take the elevator) to the top, stopping to look at the various bells and chimes, but the sloping, spiral stone stairs are an adventure in their own right.
An impressive medieval fortress in the middle of the city center
With narrow winding roads and cobblestone paths that follow the original street paths from the Middle Ages, you can enjoy the crowded, cosy and thoroughly Flemish appeal of these historical backstreets
This is the very much ornate city hall in Gothic style
The Ghent Altarpiece, or ‘The Adoration of the Mystic Lamb’ by the Van Eyck brothers, completed in 1432, is recognised worldwide as a great work of art, and one of the most influential paintings ever made. It is an absolute must-see!

Joyce was incredibly knowledgable. She was always happy to take photos and shared the wonderful history of Ghent and the stunning Ghent Altarpiece. She was professional, funny, fluent in FIVE languages and made the day an absolute joy. Her education in art history was wonderful. Thank you SO much!
Joyce was a wonderful guide. Our first tour in Ypres did not work out because of weather and an issue with the museum website but Joyce was able to quickly make new arrangements for another great site. She also made a point to get to us early our next day so we could see some of the sights we missed because of a flight cancellation. She is very knowledgeable about the history of Belgium and was just a great person to spend a few days with on holiday.
Joyce was a fabulous, intelligent, articulate, knowledgeable guide. Delightful to be with! She went out of her way to make everything perfect. Highly, highly recommend her!
Thank you so much for trusting me as yur driver guide and for spending the day with me ! All the best Joyce
