"We had such an amazing, interesting and fun walking tour with this group. Arn was absolutely fabulous and so knowledgeable about his hometown and beloved city of Gent. My partner and I were traveling in Belgium and Europe together for the first time and this was by far our favorite tour. Would highly recommend and also take Arn's suggestions on where to eat and visit in addition to the tour!"
"My family just got back from a spring break trip to Paris and Belgium. Our group included 4 adults and 2 teenagers, and the 6 of us unanimously deemed Arn as our favorite tour guide of the entire trip. Do not hesitate to select Arn as your guide in Ghent. He was warm, easy-going, knowledgeable, and passionate about his city. He told us fascinating stories and historical facts without it getting boring or long-winded. He also had perfect pacing at each stop we visited. We were all charmed by Arn and Ghent, and based on his tour, we would love to visit Ghent again and spend more time there.
