Hi! My name is Arn. I'm a born and raised Ghentian since 1991. I offer private and customized tours in the city of Gent, Belgium.
After a career in IT, I decided to become a professional tour guide. I bring history to life with some digestible context, bizarre anecdotes, surprising fun facts and lively stories about Ghent and the Ghentians.
I'm fluent in Dutch (Nederlands) and English and can offer the tours in these two languages.
Want to discover Ghent with a local? Get in touch by email or send me a Whatsapp message.
All tours can be fully customized to your interests and preferences.
The Golden Ages of Ghent
The classic tour. I guide you by the Three Towers, Belfry, Saint-Bavo's Cathedral, Gravensteen, Graslei and Korenlei, and several other highlights in the city.
The full story of Ghent.
On top of the highlights, we discover more off the beaten path neighborhoods: Patershol, Prinsenhof.
The full story + the modern city
Most tourists only see the old town of Ghent. But there's so much more. We add stops like the new library, the student district, winter circus. This tour can also be done by bicycle to see even more of the city!
Belgium is a great country when it comes to food! Best known for Beer, Chocolate, Waffles and Fries. But there's much more to discover.
In this tour I combine food with stories. You'll taste about 10 different things, from the famous Flemish stew to local sweets. And ofcourse, we do a little beer tasting too!
