This great walking tour combined the history and layout of a city tour with the fun of a food tour-did I mention it was a CHOCOLATE tasting tour?!!! Alan guided us around the old town explaining the history and showing us key sights interspersed with stops at 5-6 (so many I lost count) artisanal chocolate shops where we feasted of pralines (in American parlance-bon bons or filled chocolates ) ranging from caramel to chili/mango, crème brûlée and more. Most were almost too pretty to even eat and we savored every precious bite. The artistry and skill was amazing and the quality super high as Belgiums like FRESH chocolate. This is a must do on your visit!

Average food and service at high price. Nice location…read more We went to Duc De Bourgogne for dinner in August 2023 after spending a day in Brugge. The place was recommended by our tour guide but it didn't impress. The food was not bad, but just ok. No dish we ordered could get a 5 stars yet it was really pricey. The service was polite but far from friendly. The water smirked when I mentioned I didn't eat seafood. Not nice. The location however is great, in the very center of Old Brugge and it's on a canal bank. We got a window table and enjoyed great view of the canal, boats, and Brugge on the other side of the canal. We can't really recommend this restaurant for tasty food or exceptional service but it's probably good to have some beers and enjoy the views. Food ordered: Goat Cheese Salad Beef Stew Bouillabaisse Grilles Salmon (special) Kids Steak

This boat tour was one of the major highlights of my trip. Let's just say, I enjoyed it more than…read moresome of the other boat tours I've had in Belgium. To be fair though, we had gotten lucky with our situation, so YMMV. We were on the last tour of the day, and there was only us two and one other person. It was basically like a private tour. The small group allowed our tour guide to be personable and converse candidly with us. He gave us a lot of good insight into the history of Ghent and his own insights as a local. I learned a lot of interesting facts and stories about the city and several of its buildings. At the time of this posting, the price was 7 Euros per person and cards were accepted.

Even though it rained for almost the entire tour (and it was cold), he kept everyone engaged, laughing and in tow. Really, really knowledgeable, funny, worldly (he's given tours around the world) and dynamic, our guide clearly is proud of his adopted home and eager to share its history, stories and secrets with others. This made all the difference between seeing Gent and truly appreciating it. While it's free, tips are appreciated and well-earned. Our group was small (less than 20 folks, probably due to the weather), with people from all over the world. For sure dress for comfort and weather if you go - and you should!

I had to get back to the tour meeting point within an hour so I didn't have much time to wait. I asked if it would be a wait and was told that it shouldn't be long (10 minutes max) but it ended up being 1/2 hour. Seems the Boat tours get busier as the afternoon progresses. It was a nice/Hot day and some type of shade in the waiting area would have been nice. 12 Euros and they do accept cards. This was my second time taking the tour and it was ok. It was difficult to hear the Captain/Guide given he was speaking fast as he was trying to provide the information in a couple of languages. In addition, the PA system wasn't clear. Overall, a good way to see Brugge from the canal perspective. More to enjoy the sights vs sights and information.
