Aussies in Brussels

This tour was our last tour before returning to Sydney. It didn't disappoint. Ghent has many beautiful buildings & lots of history but Bruges is the jewel in the crown with its little streets, quaint houses & canals. You can spend many hours here. Our guides were very knowledgeable & passionate about this part of Belgium. We'll remember this experience for a long time to come. We highly recommend this tour.

Great Day!

Beautiful locations to visit. There is some walking involved. David was a great tour guide. The drive is a little long.

Excellent tour with English only guide

The tour was amazing, but the guide during Ghent was speaking mix English and French, it was very confusing, during Bruges we had another guide he was fantastic.

Great tour to see the highlights of two amazing cities

Wonderful way to visit two amazing and distinct cities! Good value for sure and the boat ride in Bruges was an extremely worthwhile add on that seemed reasonably priced as well! Jan was a very engaging and interesting guide and the split between organized tour and free time in each city was great. Highly recommended!
