“We had a fantastic day trip to Ghent and Brugge and couldn’t recommend it enough. Our tour guide, Edwin, was outstanding — friendly, knowledgeable, and full of interesting facts that really brought the day to life. His tips on places to visit in Ghent were extremely helpful, and the boat ride there was a real highlight and a great way to see the city. We also thoroughly enjoyed Brugge, which is absolutely beautiful. The only small thing we would have loved is a bit more time in Brugge — even an extra hour would have been perfect — but overall it was a brilliant, well-organised day. Huge thanks to Edwin…”
