Stefan was a very knowledgeable guide and gave a lot of great history and we appreciated his sense of humor. The cities are beautiful and we saw a lot of interesting sites. The boat ride in Bruges was optional but well worth it. The itinerary was great except There needs to be more time allocated for lunch. 41 people is really too many for a walking tour through narrow streets.

I was not sure about booking this tour because of the group size listed, but we’re so glad we did. The tour provides audio so you could hear the guide the whole way through. The English group was mixed with the French group so everything in said twice, but we were still able to understand everything. There was a lot of walking and plenty of free time. Really enjoyed ourselves and felt it was worth the money

Our guide was Andrea and she did a magnificent job of informing us about Ghent and Bruges and make sure we were all safe. Although the weather was not always pleasureable, Andrea made sure we all enjoyed our day.

Our guide Stephan brought to life these magnificent cities with his extensive knowledge of its centuries of history. He was entertaining and vigilant in keeping the group together. We would highly recommend this tour, however it requires stamina and timeliness on the part of the participant. The bilingual aspect of the tour limits the time the guide can focus on participants questions.
