“Excellent tour around Gent historical center, including various beers in various places. Our guide Ariël was clearly a true beer enthusiast and expert, and also told nice historical details and stories about the city places that we walked by on our tour.

“I loved this tour. After seeing all the usual towns, it was great to see more of the countryside of Belgium. A beautiful snack by a river and castle where we walked along a river was so picturesque. Then we took a tour of an underground cavern. Be prepared to wear some sneakers or shoes with a grip and climb quite a few stairs.

“A great balance of food exploration, walking tour, and history lesson. We booked a last minute tour so it was just the two of us, but I believe all tour group sizes are small. Our guide, Tom, answered all of our questions with clarity and even passion. We ended up planning the rest of our trip based on his recommendations, including visiting the Adoration of the Lamb of God, and two dinner restaurants. We also revisited the chocolate shop and candy store the next day for souvenirs. Highly recommend!”
