For us at Experience Tour, being a tour guide isn't just a job—it’s our true passion. Our guides combine love for history and literature with the passion for meeting new people. We love history, cinema, and reading, but nothing beats the joy of meeting people from across the world. We believe that a great tour is about more than facts—it’s about sharing the soul of a city.

Tour description
Forget rigid tours and scripted monologues. This is an experience guided by local people who truly love Ghent and enjoy sharing it. We don’t just walk past monuments, we explore stories, hidden corners, and the everyday life of the city. You will navigate Ghent not as a tourist, but as a guest of a local expert.
The Journey
The Pulse of the City: We begin at the Belfort, the symbol of the city's medieval power and independence.
A Tale of Two Eras: From the soaring medieval heights of the Belfort and City Hall to the raw, rebellious energy of Graffiti Street, you will experience the clash of tradition and modern "cool."
The Grandeur of the Middle Ages: Stand atop Saint Michael’s Bridge for the most iconic view in Flanders, then trace the water’s edge along the Korenlei, where the city’s golden age comes to life.
The Fortress and the Square: We weave through the shadow of the Castle of the Counts and conclude our journey at the historic Sint-Veerleplein, leaving you at the gateway to the city's most atmospheric neighborhood.
