Andrea, our tour guide, was absolutely fantastic! She led the whole tour in both English and French and never missed a beat. She was fun and knew so much about all the sites we visited! If we could do multiple tours with her, we would! This is a long day trip and SO worth the amount we paid!! Excellent, comfortable transportation, great food suggestions and 16,000+ steps!!!

A couple of lovely towns, full of history, culture, and architecture. If you're fascinated by architecture, then you'll be more than happy with your visit. And the staff of this particular tour makes your trip even more pleasant.

Had to leave Brussels early due to flight and border closings. But while there, we were able to take this tour March 12, 2020. Beautiful excursion, little rain, mostly sun. Saw beauty everywhere. Buildings amazing. Our initial goal was to take this tour to get a good overview of both Bruges and Ghent, then to go back to each for a day on our own, but the vacation was cut short. This tour did serve it's purpose, we have a very good idea of the history and layout for when we return.
