I was on s business trip and had some free time on a Sunday and thought it would be a chance to explore two cities that I was told were really special. I chose the tour that combined Brugges and Ghent, and expected to see very little of either!. The tour group was broken into Spanish speaking and English guides - and I was one of 6 guests who were in the English group. Our guide, Jamal was a great resource - not only did he know the history, but provided all sorts of insights into the architectural details that we might otherwise have missed. It was a rushed day but I left both cities with the feeling that I had really seen the best of both. Well worth the time
