Hi! We are Barbara and David, Ghent locals with a passion for storytelling and a deep love for our city. We’ve called Ghent home for most of our lives, sharing it with our two cats and a decade of marriage.
As career educators (Barbara has taught History for 15 years and David has taught Latin even longer) we don’t just show you the sights; we bring the past to life. Whether you’re looking for a cheerful, informed perspective or a guide with deep didactic expertise, we’ve spent years perfecting the art of the city tour.
From the iconic landmarks of the old city center to the hidden gems only a resident knows, we we’ll provide you with all the insider tips you could want on unique local shops, the best spots for authentic food, and advice on how to keep exploring Ghent like a local. Let us show you the city we love!
Great tour, David was a brilliant guide and really talked us through the history of Ghent, he made it fun and informative at the same time. We really enjoyed the tour and would recommend
Excellent Barbara was so enthusiastic about her subject and answered all our questions A brilliant experience and a great way to see Ghent (she also gave us brief histories of the famous landmarks too since we had not visited Ghent before) Highly recommend. We will be using GuruWalks again in the future
David was a great guide, lots of knowledge about the city and it's not too far of a walk round. Really relaxed and easy going tour. Really enjoyed it despite the rain:)
Very knowledgeable and relaxed guide- we can certainly recommend the guide. we even got some very useful insider tips for evening programme
