Michael D.United States
The tour was wonderful. Albert was amazing, very knowledgeable, flexible, and great to listen to him as his enthusiasm in the history is addictive. It was our 14th day of touring so even at the end of the day when we were getting tired he pulled us back in with his excitement on the history of these areas.
John H.United States
Our group of 6 spent a full day touring Bruges and Ghent with Albert. In a word he was outstanding! Albert is a gifted storyteller with a great sense of humor and excellent language skills. His insights on the history of both cities were fantastic. He guided us at an appropriate pace (our group is in good shape) and took us to off the beaten path to "must see" sites that only the locals would know. We would definitely recommend him without reservation.
Cammie E.United States
Albert did a wonderful job. We had a shorter time frame due to our ship’s all aboard time. Albert gave us a great tour and covered so much in our allotted time available. We loved it.
James V.United States
Albert did an amazing job with our group of 4. He was always accommodating and adjusted quickly to our styles and needs. The tour went seamlessly despite our requests and changes and we always felt comfortable and well taken care of. A lot of walking, but we were prepared for that. Transportation went smoothly as well due to his management between Brussels, Bruges and Ghent.
Caroline H.United States
Our walking tour of Bruges and Ghent with Albert was the first of three distinct walking tours we experienced over the span of three days. Albert’s tour stands out due to his diligent management of our experience. All aspects were covered. He ensured that we boarded trains such that we were comfortably seated together. His passion for the history and culture that he shared throughout the tour was quite evident. The amount of information shared was just enough without being overwhelming. We would definitely recommend Albert’s walking tour of Bruges and Ghent.
Your Brussels tour itinerary
1. I pick you up. If you stay in Brussels, I recomend to meet us in the hall of the Central Station (Carr de l'Europe, 1000 Bruxelles). In front of the ticket office. We can also meet us in Ghent or in Bruges. 2. We use the train to travel from one city to the other. It's the fastest and most confortable way to travel around Belgium. In Bruges the historical walking tour begins in the same station and in Gent we will take a typical Belgian tram. 3. Every walking tour lasts around 2, 5 hours. They are easy walking tours, but of course they are walking tours. 4. Maybe in Bruges you want to do a boat trip along the small canals. Or you want to enjoy the Belgian food and beer. Or you want to do some shopping. Just let me know.
