“Our guide, Jerke, was absolutely amazing! He is knowledgeable, witty, and great with conversation. He let us ask any & all questions (even the silly questions). You can easily see how passionate he is about history and sharing his love for Ghent with others. We were able to see so much of the city center, and having the private tour allowed us to really dig into the history of the city. I hope we are lucky enough to have him as a future guide!”
