Step by Step
Step back in time to the Middle Ages as you stroll through Ghent's Old Town. Your English-speaking guide will take you through the squares and cobbled lanes, showing you the Gothic architecture of St. Bavo's Cathedral, the Belfry and the majestic facades of the Graslei and Korenlei. Every corner holds stories of merchants, craftsmen and medieval knights.
After soaking up the history, you'll head to the pier for a 30-minute cruise along the canals. From the water, you'll see Ghent's skyline from a unique perspective: centuries-old bridges, converted factories and Renaissance palaces reflecting on the surface.
Back on dry land, your taste buds will take centre stage. During the gastronomic tour, you will enjoy 6 Belgian craft beers, carefully selected to showcase the variety of styles from the region: from fresh blondes to intense dark beers. Each tasting is accompanied by a local snack - cheeses, breads and artisan cured meats - to enhance the nuances of each drink.
This tour is ideal for first-time travellers as well as beer and history buffs. The small group guarantees a personalised experience, allowing you to ask questions and discover exclusive recommendations for further exploration of Ghent after the tour.
Finally, your guide will drop you off at the starting point or at a central location in the city, with useful tips on the best chocolate shops, places to dine and other breweries you won't want to miss.
