Ghent and Brudges

Make sure you check all the buses at the pickup site. Our bus was NOT in the specified location which caused my wife and I not to sit together. We found the correct bus late. That put a sour note for our trip right off the bat. As far as the trip it was well worth seeing Ghent and Brudges.

An excellent adventure

This was an amazing 10 hour adventure. Colin, the guide was one of the best guides. The bus was a high end tour bus. The tour gave an outstanding overview of Bruges and Ghent. Very highly recommended!

Great day

Two beautiful cities but a very long day! We thoroughly enjoyed it. There was enough time to enjoy both stops.
