We appreciated his recommendations on restaurants and places to visit and bought some delicious chocolate while in Bruges. While both places are beautiful, we would have liked even more time in Bruges.

Do it! Experience these great places with Peter. - Such a great day out. I had Peter as my guide he was so passionate & knowledgeable which made the day a lot of fun. He looked after us & made sure we were safe at all times (bikes, cars,etc). We could easily locate the “blue umbrella, Ella, Ella”. A very memorable experience these places are amazing.

Bruge and Ghent Trip From Brussels - We had a wonderful time on our tour to Ghent and Brussels. Our tour guide, Sabrina, was very knowledgeable and gave us a thorough history breakdown of both cities. She was kind and respectful the entire time. My wife and I were on our anniversary trip and had a great time. We would definitely recommend to our friends and family.

Good overview of both Bruges and Ghent. - The tour requires a good deal of walking, wear comfortable shoes . It’s a good idea to bring an umbrella or rain jacket. The guides gave good suggestions for local food specialties and for good restaurants.

Lifetime memories from Bruges and Ghent. - Must see cities Bruges and Ghent. A lot of information and a good experience. We loved interested stories and were happy with a guide. Couple problems with this tour - it was is too big group to travel with and not 100% comfortable bus. In the bus they do not even have a place to put your water. The company also does not offer water on the bus. The pickup point and stops are overcrewded with other tours.

Horrible Experience - Our guide, Antonio was insensitive and incompetent. He was not sensitive to the seniors on the tour. He put the incorrect meeting location in our Google maps and we almost missed the bus in Bruges. In Ghent, we were in a driving rain storm with lightning but he would not take cover, he wanted to press on. Eventually we did take cover and then he proceeded to abandon the group without notification leaving us stranded in the pouring rain. He did not give us the meeting time and then changed the meeting location without notifying us. Antonio should not be a tour guide going forward and needs to find a new profession.
