We're so delighted! It was really interesting, fascinating and attractive dive into the history and lifestyle of Gent. The guide is a real pro. It seems like they know the story behind each building in the city. The time has passed very quickly. The walking tour of Gent with Jurgen was one of the highlights of our trip. Jurgen, being a professor of history is not only knowledgeable on the history of Gent but his passion for the subject is incredible. We learned a lot and saw many of the historical and key sites in the city. Highly Recommended Tour for those who are looking for a private walking tour of the city. 5 out of 5 stars. This is a great experience! Jurgen is a knowledgeable and thoughtful guide. A perfect tour for first time visitors to Ghent. Jorgen was such a pleasure to spend a morning with - we enjoyed our walk, and getting to chat with a local who really loves his town.

Very interesting few hours with Jurgen who has a lot of interesting tid bits and much more of you need it. I’m a bit of an amateur myself so I peppered him with questions and he managed to answer all of them. I definitely discovered more of the city than I would have done and at the same time learned a lot ????????

Our little group took a 2-hour historical tour with Jürgen. Jürgen was punctual and friendly and the tour was full of interesting information about the city. Despite the pouring rain he kept our spirits high by giving us a glance into the infinite historical and cultural layers of this amazing city. Jürgen was able to adjust to the multiplicity of our interests while suggesting further sights that matched those interests. We warmly recommend him as a guide. Do not hesitate to tell him about your interests or ask him for suggestions as he can offer a wide range of great, original ideas to discover Gent under many different angles. Thanks again Jürgen, we definitively will call on you again (maybe for Socialist Gent tour, or Women in the Textile Industry tour!) next time we are in town!
