About
Join me in a walk through the city center of Ghent and discover some interesting spots. We'll navigate our way through interesting buildings as Saint Bavo's cathedral that houses the Ghent Altarpiece, the belfry with its dragon, the old harbor that dates from the middle ages and many more... We'll pass through a gigantic tradition of the 'Burgundian way of life' as chocolate and beer.

Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

The tour was great. Wim was fully available to answer our questions and made the tour interactive by arousing our curiosity. The visit was very balanced: we learned a lot about the history of the city of Ghent as well as nowadays cultural reality. We warmly recommend Wim to discover the beautiful city of Ghent !

First available slot, great weather in the morning, easy-to-spot meeting place and good starting point for the story.
The presentation was detailed, great attitude-didn't feel the 2 hours passing by. PS Came back to the shop for the yummy chocolates :)

Wim is a teacher in his day job and is very knowledgeable about the history of Ghent. He points out architectural features of buildings that we would not have seen by ourselves, as well as the local history of Ghent. Wim brought to life our visit to Ghent. Highly recommended!

Wim was very knowledgeable about Ghent. He told us great stories about the history of Ghent and explored the architecture of the city. He also incorporated the religious aspects encountered in the city.

Wim has a clear and pleasant voice and gave us a very interesting morning.
His passion for the city's history was infectious.
We were already fans of Ghent, but now even more so!
Highly recommended!

Today we were guided around Ghent for an afternoon with a group of 60 people from the Walchersmannenkoor and held 3 singing concerts in 2 churches and the 123piano.
All this arranged by and with Wim.
A man with a lot of knowledge about the city and a fascinating storyteller, passionate about his work.
Had a nice afternoon and enjoyed the city of Ghent.
