Höjdpunkter
We're so delighted! It was really interesting, fascinating and attractive dive into the history and lifestyle of Gent. The guide is a real pro. It seems like they know the story behind each building in the city. The time has passed very quickly. The walking tour of Gent with Jurgen was one of the highlights of our trip. Jurgen, being a professor of history is not only knowledgeable on the history of Gent but his passion for the subject is incredible. We learned a lot and saw many of the historical and key sites in the city. Highly Recommended Tour for those who are looking for a private walking tour of the city. 5 out of 5 stars. This is a great experience! Jurgen is a knowledgeable and thoughtful guide. A perfect tour for first time visitors to Ghent. Jorgen was such a pleasure to spend a morning with - we enjoyed our walk, and getting to chat with a local who really loves his town.

This is the starting point of the tour. Our house is located on the Napoleon De Pauw lock, where in the 16th century the mote around the Spanish Castle was.
After we passed by the old St Baafs abbey to the confluence of Leie and Schelde, where ghent originated, we follow our tour onto Bisdomkaai.
The cathedral houses the Lam Gods by Van Eyck, where there is a new virtual tour about inside the cathedral, which is worth the visit.
The Kouter and it's surroundings gives us an insight in the 18th and 19th century atmosphere in Ghent

About Ghent
Ghent, in Flanders, is a medieval city of canals, a castle and Gothic churches, home to a large university and a busy cultural life.
Ghent grew rich on the cloth trade at the meeting of the Scheldt and Leie rivers, and its old centre still shows it. The Graslei and Korenlei quays are lined with guild houses, and the Gravensteen, a twelfth-century castle of the counts of Flanders, rises from the water. Three towers dominate the skyline: the Belfry, St Nicholas' Church and St Bavo's Cathedral.
Top-ranked sights in Ghent: St. Bavo's Cathedral (Sint-Baafskathedraal), Graslei and Korenlei, Belfry and Lakenhalle (Bell Tower and Cloth Hall).
