Definitely recommend - Very informative and entertaining ride. We loved our guide and had a great time. For the price it was totally worth doing, you get to see different parts of the city from the water

Nice Tour Around Ghent - A short pleasant boat tour around medieval Ghent. The guide was nice and provided entertaining commentary on the city. The tour was in both French and English based on the group. As you could arrive at any time during the day, it was convenient and did not require any unnecessary waiting. Great little boat trip for the money.

A very enjoyable trip - My wonderful partner booked us on the boat tour as I was visiting Ghent for the first time and I am very happy he did as we both thoroughly enjoyed ourselves.
The skipper was friendly, professional and knowledgeable. Luckily the other paying people onboard were friendly and funny which enhanced the boat trip even more.
This boat trip is excellent value for money and I/we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. Long enough but not too long! Perfect first trip to Ghent.

Nice boat trip to discover a part of Ghent - Nice trip on the water, so you see a different side of Ghent. The Guide has told a lot with a nice joke every now and then. You also get a free ice cream. The boats leave every 20 minutes so that's fine.

Just average - Commentary was average, not very engaging and speaking in several languages was causing delays in seeing landmarks being discussed.
Ice creams were provided which was a nice treat.
