Description

I am a qualified guide, and I will take you on a private tour to discover all the must-see sights of the historic center.

I'll show you some hidden gems. And along the way, I'll tell you how pralines conquered Ghent. Of course, you will also have the opportunity to sample various Ghent specialties.

The tour starts in front of St. Bavo's Cathedral. As we pass through narrow alleyways, I'll show you the Town Hall. A little further on is Graffiti Street, which has been home to the best chocolatier in Flanders since 2024. The Friday Market doesn't just sell chocolate. Then we'll head to the Castle of the Counts, and along the way we'll say hello to the Manneken Pis of Ghent. A short detour will take us to the Vegetable Market, where the cuberdon vendors are located. At the medieval harbor, you can enjoy a magnificent view. Time to take selfies. Finally, before we finish, we'll pass by the praline maker's displays. There, you will see how pralines are made by hand. Of course, along the way you will get to taste the best pralines and the famous Ghent cuberdons. We'll finish with a platter of Ghent specialties and a local beer or other beverage.

This is a private tour. It is therefore exclusively for your group. The tour starts at Sint Baafsplein, in front of the main entrance to the Cathedral.
