About
Come with me for a walk through the city center of Ghent and discover some interesting places. We stroll through interesting buildings - young and old - such as St. Bavo's Cathedral where the world famous Lamb of God is kept, the belfry with its dragon, the old port that was built in the Middle Ages, and so much more ... We discover the enormous tradition of 'the Burgundian way of life' with a large number of Flemish specialties such as the enormous range of beers, chocolate and of course the Belgian waffles!

Great introduction to Ghent
Sep 2019 • Couples
Wim is a teacher in his day job and is very knowledgeable about the history of Ghent. He points out architectural features of buildings that we would not have seen by ourselves, as well as the local history of Ghent. Wim brought to life our visit to Ghent. Highly recommended!

Great tour in Ghent

Wim was very knowledgeable about Ghent. He told us great stories about the history of Ghent and explored the architecture of the city. He also incorporated the religious aspects encountered in the city.
