For almost five years now, I have been guiding people in the city of Ghent. I have experience with all sorts of groups, from families to school groups. I'm also a born and raised Ghentian and my family has lived in this city for 10 (!) generations. I know the ins and the outs and will provide you with good local recommendations!
Aside from that, I know how to balance learning with discovering, humor and relaxing. A tour with me will never be a history lecture. It'll be an engaging and fun experience for you and your fellow travellers!
Where do the tours start?
Where do the tours start?
I always start in the city center. If your hotel is located in the historical city center, then I can pick you up there.
If your hotel is further away, or if you're on a day trip from elsewhere (Brussels/Bruges), we'll set a meeting point. If needed, I will provide detailed instructions on how to get to the meeting point.
Will there be other people attending the tour?

On this website, I only sell my tours as private tours. So if you book me for a tour, I'm all yours. Tell me what your special requests, wishes or expectations are!

About Gent
About Gent
A few years ago, Ghent was called the Hidden Gem of Europe by Lonely Planet. A great city to visit (and to live in), but often overlooked in favor of Brussels or Bruges. But Ghent is a real gem, and worth a stop when you're visiting Belgium. Wether you're staying for a few days or just on a day trip, there's plenty to see and experience! What my city has to offer you:
A vibrant city center where locals live, go out and enjoy themselves.
A student city with a lively atmosphere. Bars and cafes on every corner, great places to sit down for one of our specialty beers.
A city center packed with medieval monuments, historic houses, and gothic-style churches.
The impressive 12th century Castle of The Counts, right in the heart of the city.
Great local food. From local sweets like the Cuberdons and prize-winning chocolates, to savory dishes like mussels, waterzooi or Flemish stew.
Great pieces of art, most of all the famous Ghent Altarpiece.
And much much more. Want to discover it together with a local guide? Take a look at my private guided tours or book me via this website!
