To do!

🚴‍♀️ It’s an ideal way to explore the city at your own pace, while enjoying its picturesque alleyways, canals and beautiful historic buildings. The route is pleasant, accessible to all and allows you to see both the essentials and more secret corners. A friendly and exotic experience that I highly recommend to all those who want to discover Ghent differently!

Teambuilding bike and friendly

Very nice teambuilding / bike ride around and in Ghent. Discover the historical, artistic and natural places, all punctuated by friendly places to have a coffee or a good beer. Tim shared his love of his city. To do.

Can only recommend Tim !

Tim was a great guide. Very knowledgeable about the city, the history of the city, the buildings as well as the architecture of the city. But also avoiding mainstream routes and exploring lesser known areas of Gent. Would definitely recommend to anyone visiting Gent. Bikes were top notch as well.

A great and fun way to see Gent

We had a very enjoyable day touring Gent with our brilliant guide Janne! This was a complete mystery tour for our party, many of whom had not been on a bike for over 40 years! Great fun, and a superb way to see the City when you are only there for a day. Thanks Janne, we all have you 100% rating 🤣

Perfect for a business occasion!!

Last Sunday we did a tour with 17 people for our company outing. We had a very nice, fun day. Tim is very nice, clearly audible to everyone through the use of a microphone and really makes it a fun day. Has a lot of knowledge of the city and shows you the most beautiful places in Ghent. He also gave me many tips that were very useful for the weekend (restaurants, going out, hotels, etc.). Thank you very much for the nice Sunday!! It was very successful and I would recommend it to anyone looking for something fun for a business setting.
