Antwerp & Ghent tour - The tour was an excellent introduction to two cities in a day. The organization and information of the tour guide made everything flow so well.

Nice Day trip - A well-managed and enjoyable day trip! The tour was efficiently organised, with a good balance of guided exploration and free time in both Antwerp and Ghent. The group included both English and Spanish speakers, and we travelled together in the same coach. However, each language group had its own guide, which worked very well. Both guides were knowledgeable, engaging, and attentive to the group’s needs. The itinerary was thoughtfully planned, covering key highlights without feeling rushed. The photo stop at the Atomium was a nice touch to begin the day. Overall, everything ran smoothly – from the transport to the timing of visits. A great way to explore two beautiful Belgian cities in one day. Highly recommended!

Efficient, punctual and packed day of sights - Great trip. Paolo was great guide. Tour was a good mix of guided parts and free time to explore. Punctuality was emphasised throughout and not compromised, enabling an efficient tour packed covering the best of both cities.

Belgian jewel - I loved Antwerp! It is wonderful to say the least... chaotic, so touristy but fascinating!! Full of shops, and the center instead is the hub of everything

Juan A. Excellent guide! - Muy buen walking tour. Juan A., our guide was very pleasant and told us in great detail the history of these places, they also give enough free space to tour shops and know other places that are not inside the walk, I would only recommend extending to be able to see the sunset of the sun since by day you appreciate but you lose the beauty of the sunset and night

Poor communication that needed an audio system for the tour guide. - It was a very long and difficult day for people over 80 years of age. Mixed in with much younger people, it was hard to keep up. Also our guides command of English was good but we did not hear a lot of what she said and we missed at least 50% of the information. I would recommend the deployment of a system where the guide can communicate through an audio system with ear phones for everyone in the group as we have had with many other tours. The communication was extremely poor at the very best. A very unfortunate experience with what we expected was a sophisticated tour operator.

Do not travel with Buendia! - Disorganized. Ended up with English and Spanish speaking groups on one bus. Mediocre English of the guide. Multiple wrong factual info about the sites. Confrontational and rude driver that threw away items left on the bus during stops. Mostly free time, so you are on your own. Not recommended.
