We discover the enormous tradition of 'the Burgundian way of life' with a large number of Flemish specialties such as the enormous range of beers, chocolate and of course the Belgian waffles!

First available slot, great weather in the morning, easy-to-spot meeting place and good starting point for the story.
The presentation was detailed, great attitude-didn't feel the 2 hours passing by. PS Came back to the shop for the yummy chocolates :)

Wim weet veel, heel veel, van Gent. Hij weet je van begin tot eind te boeien met een grote variatie aan verhalen en geschiedenissen van de stad.
We waren met een groepje van vier en kregen de volle aandacht. We hadden heel wat vragen en die wist Wim, vaak ook met een kwinkslag, te beantwoorden.
Ondanks een paar buitjes tussendoor hadden wij een topochtend! Bedankt Wim!
Groet, Harrie, Karin, Pep en José
