Passionate Guide, Inspiring Tour

Benedikt is an outstanding guide – passionate, knowledgeable, and truly engaging! He brings Ghent’s history and culture to life with captivating stories, from Emperor Charles to the famous Ghent Altarpiece, and mixes in modern insights, street art, and local secrets. I especially enjoyed the little extras like tasting Cuberdons and hearing unique insider facts. If you want to experience Ghent in an authentic and inspiring way, Benedikt is the perfect choice. Highly recommended!

Great experience….

As 2 diabetics and 1 picky eater, we were a challenge for Artur, but had a great time on the tasting walking tour. It was a nice mix of city history and site seeing and food tastings. We didn’t eat as much as he wanted us to but was plenty for us and included chocolate, waffles, frites, beer and stew. By the end of the tour it was like old friends getting together over a beer. I would highly recommend the tour and booking with Artur.

Amazing guide and spectacular tour!

Artur, our amazing guide, worked with us to customize our tour to include some places and things we wanted to see and do. He is very knowledgeable, knows the history of the city and sights, is well known throughout the city and showed us some wonderful hidden gems we would have missed if not for him. Parks, green spaces, canals, cathedrals, squares, shopping, waffles for lunch, beer, and lots of chocolate. This is a beautiful city and our time here was spent with a truly wonderful person and excellent guide, Artur. I will end by saying Artur has the greatest sense of humor and kept smiles on our faces all day long and provided laughter throughout our time together.

Wonderful way to explore Brugge

If you want to get to know a city get to know its food and the history behind it with a local guide. Patrick was the perfect guide showing us real waffles, a brewery, chocolate and other local treats we would never have found on our own. A wonderful authentic day. We highly recommend him!
