A Well-Organized Tour to Ghent & Bruges with Memorable Highlights - The day trip to Ghent and Bruges was a wonderful way to explore these two stunning cities in a single day! Both destinations were rich in history and charm, and the tour was well-organized and informative. The guide was excellent, seamlessly switching between English and French, though this did make some explanations feel a bit long at times. Bruges was especially magical, and the optional canal ride for €15 was absolutely worth it—such a unique and scenic experience! While the group was quite large, it didn’t detract from the overall enjoyment. This tour is a fantastic option for travelers with limited time who want to see the beauty and highlights of Ghent and Bruges without the stress of planning.

Great Package Deal to See 2 Beautiful Cities - This tour was great! The pick-up location was easy to find and our tour guide, Jan Van Melkebeke, was amazing! He was very kind and entertaining as well. He is super knowledgeable on the sites in Bruges and Ghent. I went on this tour at the end of January with a friend and even though it was a little chilly, he made the experience extremely fun. We saw major sites in Bruges and Ghent and there is time to grab lunch in Ghent and later explore Bruges. I would be sure to bring a euro or 2 to use public restrooms that may require payment. This is a great budget-friendly way to see 2 beautiful cities efficiently if you are pressed for time while traveling. These cities are very different from Brussels and so beautiful. BTW you can see the Belfry Tower and go to the top with admission (~10euro regular adult or ~5euro for student). It takes about ~5-8mins to get to the top with the elevator.
