History & Gastronomic Tour - We did the Gastronomic tour with Kseniia. We tried lots of really delicious Ghent food and she showed us all the best spots. She explained the history really well. We have already returned for more Flemish stew. Loved it. We also did a history tour and loved that too, definitely recommend doing both.
