Unforgettable Ghent Experience!
We had an absolutely wonderful time exploring Ghent with Benedikt! Over the course of three hours, he managed to show us many hidden gems and share fascinating stories that made the city truly come alive. His passion for Ghent was infectious, and his warmth, humor, and ability to connect with all of us made it an amazing experience. He even brought us some specific candy from Ghent (‘red noses’) and treated us to some artisanal chocolates in one of the nicest chocolate shops of Ghent. It was the perfect mix of history, fun facts, and local charm. Benedikt is genuinely a very nice guy, thank you for an unforgettable visit to Ghent. Best wishes, Hanif

A most perfect afternoon!!
My travel companions and I only had one short day in Bruges. We decided to book Xavier’s Highlights and Hidden Gems walking tour so that we could really see as much as we could of this beautiful city. Xavier is charming, kind, and knowledgeable about his home town. He modified our tour to fit our needs and desires. This trip was our first into Belgium (3 cities in 3 days) and served a reconnaissance mission for future trips. We will most definitely be back to spend more time in Bruges thanks to Xavier. We will be wanting to book other tours with him at that time. Highly recommend!

A True Local Gem
We had a wonderful time with Hugo! He (and generations of his family) is from Bruges and has so much deep knowledge of the city and fun (and funny) anecdotes to share. We loved that he focused on small, local businesses. It was a great way for us to learn about Bruges during a short, weekend visit. We would love to seek Hugo out next time we come, as well!
