"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!"

We learnt so much on this walking tour with Arn. He took us off the beaten track to places we wouldn't have known about and learnt interesting facts about the city's past which we'd never have found out about otherwise. It was a fun and educational afternoon, thanks Arn!.
