Hi there! Welcome to Ghent - the hidden gem of Europe! My name is Arn. I am 33 years old and have been living in the city of Ghent all my life. I have a Master's Degree in political sciences and international relations, and have worked in several different sectors: public policy, IT, and mobility consultancy. A few years ago I discovered my true passion: telling stories. Since then, I've been working as a tour guide in Ghent. In my tours, I try to mix things up a little. Some history, random fun facts, cool legends, and unexpected stories about the city and its citizens. I can also tailor my tours to what you find the most interesting! Do you want to discover Ghent with someone who has lived here for more than three decades? Contact me!

Arn is very easy to talk to, and during the walking tour, he focused on only giving relevant,...

We met Arne for the Highlights of Ghent tour after a weary flight/train. Our fatigue vanished immediately! His enthusiasm for his native city was contagious. He immediately engaged our weary minds with the history of his hometown.
