      Must do bike tour
      Tim was awesome! Great tour of the outside of the city center. Glad it wasn’t a repeat of what we already saw by boat. Highly recommend!!

      A great and fun way to see Gent
      We had a very enjoyable day touring Gent with our brilliant guide Janne! This was a complete mystery tour for our party, many of whom had not been on a bike for over 40 years! Great fun, and a superb way to see the City when you are only there for a day. Thanks Janne, we all have you 100% rating 🤣

      Perfect way for a family to explore Ghent
      My family (kids ages 11,15,18) and I did the Ghent by Night tour. We had a wonderful time and learned a lot of interesting facts about Ghent. The tour guide, Tim, was very nice and his excitement and love for the city really showed. He showed us many interesting and beautiful parts of Ghent and gave us ideas of places to return to on our own. The bikes were in excellent condition and the ride was safe and enjoyable for our whole family. Would definitely recommend to others, a perfect way for all ages to explore Ghent!

      Great way to get an extensive overview and history of the City of Gent!
      Excellent tour with knowledgeable guide who showed flexibility to adapt the tour to everyone! Good overview of history of Gent as a town covering the different districts of Gent. The tour doesn’t cover the typical aspects of the city ( cathedral, market place,…..)

      EXCELLENT
      Tout était parfait, Tim est un guide passionné et bienveillant. Il s'adapte à ses différents clients et maîtrise très bien son sujet. Il a même ajouté une touche historique personnelle à la visite, c'était top! Le tour est très bien organisé et accessible à tous. Les vélos sont de bonne qualité et le timing est idéal. Si vous recherchez une façon unique de visiter Gand, c'est le tour qu'il faut réserver! STOP WHAT YOU ARE DOING AND BOOK THIS TOUR, RIGHT NOW!! Very unique experience, Tim is the perfect guide, has a lot of knowledge and even added his personal touch of history about Ghent. Well organized, the bikes are good qualities and the timing is perfect. The bike walk is easy and doable for all ages. He can do the tour in different languages and is easy going. Even if I'm from Belgium, I discovered Ghent in another perspective! We couldn't be more happier about it. Good value for your money, GO FOR IT! :)

      See Gend/Gent on a bike!
      The way to see, feel, enjoy all of the city of Gend is to go on the city cycle tour with Tim! Het was heel plezant, merci Tim!

      best bike tour ever
      Tim has that aura that only happy people have: he escaped the rat race and is now doing something he loves. And that reflects in the bike tour. I am born and bred in Belgium and had been in Gent a couple of times, but I can honestly say that 80% of what we saw on this tour was completely new to me. Most importantly, I had a 13-year old boy with me and Tim knew exactly how to keep him interested. Not only was it fun, it's also super safe, because we never cycled near heavy traffic. I told other people living in the city about it, and they were convinced to book a tour themselves :) So yes, I recommend this activity 100%!

      A must do if you ever go to Ghent
      This was the highlight of my travel to Belgium with my son. Tim knows so much about the history and culture of Ghent and has particular expertise in the street art scene.

      Great bike tour around Ghent!
      I was visiting Ghent just for part of the day and I really wanted to tour the city by bike as it’s really the best way to get a more personal look at a city while covering more ground than a walking tour. I emailed Tim and he got back to me right away and gave me directions to his shop. Another lady joined us from Amsterdam and Tim conducted the tour in perfect English and Dutch. Tim was great at leading us through the streets safely and we made quite a few stops where he shared the history, geography and culture of the city. There was a festival going on so we weren’t able to access the immediate downtown core but he still took us in and around and added in some other elements so it didn’t feel at all like we were missing out. It was a great tour! I would highly recommend contacting Tim if you are interested in learning more about Ghent by bike!

      Highly recommended!
      I went on a cycling tour with Tim on my own with two other couples. Tim provides bikes, a lot of knowledge, but mostly a great atmosphere: all participants talked to each other and I felt free to ask a lot of questions. The tour really takes you to places you wouldn’t go to otherwise and I really enjoyed all of them. Highly recommended for all visitors to the beautiful city of Gent!

      See more from Gent
      You can walk through the center of Gent, but in a 3 hours bike tour you will see and learn more about bigger Gent. Absolute a great extra during your stay in Gent.

      Great afternoon in my own city.
      We booked Tim for a cycling tour for 3 hours. ( 6 adults) As citizen from Ghent, Tim showed some nice surprises for us and we really enjoyed the trip he made with us. I really learned new things about my own city. Nice job !

    Fabulous - saw lots of Ghent with a fabulous knowledgeable guide.

    Did the tour yesterday with my husband and daughter - was a little concerned when we arrived as it was quite a large group and mostly Dutch speakers ( we are English,) but there was no need to worry. The guide confidently ran the tour in both languages, giving each group time to look around while she spoke to the others. Cycling was easy in this cycle friendly city and we saw loads of places we wouldn't have seen ourselves and learnt loads of stories about the city. Highly recommended - even by the other 2 who after 2 previous day's on bikes, were not keen to be back on the saddle again . Oh and the bikes were really good quality too

    Absolutely fantastic tour of Gent. We did this at the first day of a 1-week stay in the city, and this was perfect as we got to know many places where we wanted to return to.
    Tim, the guide, told us so many interesting and amazing things about the places we saw. Certainly a big enrichment of our stay in Gent!

    My friend and I booked a bike tour in Ghent in December and we had the best time! The city is known to be a biking city and this is the best way to get around and immerse yourself in the culture while still being a tourist and seeing all the best sites We were the only two people who booked the tour and Tim was still willing to take us through the city. I can't speak more highly about Tim, he was personable and knowledgable. 10/10 would recommend to everyone! P.S. electric bikes help you enjoy the experience without too much work ;)

    The bike tour was informative and fun. A great way to see the city, especially during this covid period. Tim was a great tour guide. He was kind enough to let me come 20 minutes earlier to test out the bikes and build up my courage with biking. Even if you're not a frequent biker, this tour is still great for you and Gent is a great city to bike in.

    I have been to Ghent a few times and have seen the historic/touristic part of the city. Experiencing Ghent via bike was so much fun. I went with colleagues as a team building activity and saw that there is so much more of Ghent during the 3 hour tour. Tim the owner and guide is super knowledgeable, friendly and accommodating.
    I highly recommend a city cycle tour.

    I booked the group tour but probably due to the weather I was the only one. Had a great time anyway. Saw more of Gent than just staying inside the old town. (Also nice to have a break from all the walking)
    Tim is a great guide and a truly nice person with passion for his city.
    I loved the street art, architecture and the story behind it.

    I just had a great Sunday morning and recommend this tour to all (solo) travelers.
