The tour with Kenny was awesome! He took us around Gent and gave us a great historical view of the city. He was funny, engaging, and most of all he braved the rain to provide us with an amazing tour. Highly recommend doing your tours with Kenny!

Kenny was a fantastic tour guide! We were an incredibly small group, and our tour should have been cancelled due to the group size, but Kenny persevered! The stories were interesting, the history was great and the route helped provide a good idea of the city. I go on a lot of city tours, and this one was potentially the best I’ve encountered yet! Thank you for an awesome time!

Best things to see and do in Ghent

While it is Belgium’s third-largest city, Ghent offers tourists an amazing array of perfectly-preserved medieval architecture in a city whose size is large enough to have plenty to see and do without being overly touristy. It is the perfect destination to visit to get to know the Flemish Region of Belgium and is only an hour from the country’s largest cities in case you want to do more free walking tours. Visit Ghent with the help of a local guide who can show you the charming city up close and personal as you savor its culture and cuisine.
