Hi, I’m Tom, your enthusiastic guide in beautiful Ghent! I’m 49 years young, proud dad of four, and have been working and living in many places around the world (Mumbai, Madrid, Los Angeles, Padova, ...) for many years. And now back in Ghent.
And it has always been my true passion sharing stories and connecting with people.
Between 1996 and 2000 I guided tourists through Ghent on a horse and carriage – and today I’m thrilled to be back, this time on foot, to show you the city’s hidden corners, vibrant history and charming anecdotes.
With a mix of local knowledge, humor, and passion for my hometown, I’ll make sure you don’t just see Ghent, but truly experience it. Join me for a walk you won’t forget – let’s discover Ghent together!
Lastly: I speak Dutch, English, Spanish, French and a bit of Italian. No problem to use these different languages during the tour.
Tom was a really nice guide, and I am glad he showed Gent to me! I got to learn a lot about the history of the city, and got some nice recommendations as well. Also really nice of him that he went through with the tour even though the rest of the people that reserved didn't show up!
Leuke tour. Zeker een aanrader bij een bezoek aan Gent
Our guide Tom was excellent. Very informative and very interesting. We all thoroughly enjoyed it. We would highly recommend Tom.
Tom, can very well combine his international background with the knowledge of his native town
