These are worthwhile visiting to experience Belgium. I had done Brussels and Antwerp the previous day so it let me see a different side of Belgium. Loved it!

The tour to Ghent and Bruges was a perfect way to take a break from walking around Amsterdam. The tour guide was very knowledgeable in the history of both cities. Unfortunately, there was a lot of road construction going on in the center of Ghent which didn't make for the prettiest of pictures but we managed to make the best of it. Bruges was another story, however. It was a very lovely, clean city and our guide recommended that we take the boat ride on the Bruges canals to get a real flavor of the city. And she was right on! We highly recommend that you not miss the opportunity to take this side trip to Bruges and Ghent where the construction is to be completed this summer.

Ghent was nice but in all I think we had about 1 hr 15 minutes there and only 1 hour to spend walking around. It was enough time to check out one of the famous grand churches and then walk around the city a little, but more time there would have been nice. The highlight of the trip was Bruges. It's an amazing city, so old and medieval. The boat ride was very scenic and really a very beautiful tour. We really liked it there and I think the 3 hours we had to walk around the city was enough time. As for the bus ride part of the tour, that was good. Better than I expected really. The bus was very new, modern and clean. I highly rate for long journeys. It was about 3 1/2 hours returning from Bruges to Amsterdam.

Wonderful day trip with a knowledgeable guide. Fanny also gave tips of things to see, places to buy chocolate, and places to eat. Highly recommend.

Ghent and Bruges day trip is going to exceed, by far, your thoughts or imagination! Ghent was perhaps the best part of my entire trip! There will be more than one spot to visit there, so don't waste any time, and walk through its down town, it is beautiful! I recommend buying a local map to learn about the sites to see.

I really enjoyed it - wish we had more time to see everything though!

Review by: Joseph L, United States of America	August 2009
Not enough time given in Ghent! There should be an extra hour for lunch. Otherwise, a nice trip, with key sights in the cities pointed out and a lot of freedom given.

We spent a lovely day in these two picturesque towns.

Review by: William S, United States of America	May 2009
Great trip! It is a long day but, for sure, most convenient for us. In addition to seeing two great cities, we got to see the countryside. Our guide was excellent, and we had plenty of free time.

Excellent trip, both Ghent and Bruges were well worth a visit.

Review by: William R, Australia	October 2008
This was undoubtedly a highlight of our recent overseas holiday. Two friends had booked but had to forgo the trip as a result of illness and were so disappointed when we told them what a lovely experience we had. The guide was excellent and both towns had historic charm.

Review by: Anonymous, United States of America	October 2008
While the tour was worthwhile, be warned it's a long day - 8 hours on the bus, 4.5 hours between both cities. The price is right, the tour guide was lovely and the bus is comfortable enough. However, Ghent is just so-so, and the stop is only for about an hour, so there's not much to do but stroll around and eat lunch. Bruges is gorgeous, however, and has more to offer, so it probably would be better to focus on that city exclusively, and have some tour time and time to yourself. Still, I would recommend this tour.

Long day but worthwhile. Ghent and Bruges were lovely. On the square in Bruges we took a horse and carriage ride. There is also an opportunity to get on a small bus to do a short tour of the city. It would have been better to go straight to Amsterdam, rather than stop for 40 minutes on the way back at the restaurant, majority of people were not happy about this.

Review by: Laura J, Canada	June 2008
Although a very long day, worth it to do if you don't have much time to visit Belgium more in depth or want to add on one more bonus to your European experience. Both cities were very interesting. There wasn't enough time in Gent, but plenty of time in Bruges, which I personally enjoyed the most because of it's layout and friendly atmosphere. The tower climb in Bruges was a definite must to see the city from a bird's eye view.

Review by: Ronald D, United States of America	May 2008
Was a great day trip to two wonderfully rich cities. I like the fact that we're given just basic instructions and the rest was free time to do and see whatever I wanted. I prepared by printing out maps prior to the trip so that I could explore areas around the city center areas. Be sure to bring small change for the toilets.

If you want to expand your visit and see historic cities in Belgium, you'll enjoy this tour. The time in Ghent, especially, was really too short to see much, but you'll still get a flavor for these cities. Because of the distance, be prepared to ride in the bus quite a bit.
