    We had a wonderful tour with Ben! We did the night tour, and felt it was too good to be true that a guide was going to be meeting us without reservations at 10 p.m. for a FREE tour... but he did, and the tour was fantastic! We were only able to be there for his night tour, which I highly recommend, and we would have done another tour of his if we had been available. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and passion for Ghent with us, Ben!

    Yesterday my friends and I did an amazing guided tour of Ghent by night with Ben. Ben knows exactly what he's talking about. You can ask him any question and he'll always try to provide you with an answer. He's a very interactive guide and a very sociable person. My friends and I enjoyed his tour very much and learned so much more about Ghent. I highly recommend doing a guided tour with Ben! 5 out of 5 stars.

    The night tour of ghent with Ben is truly an amazing experience. You get to see Ghent with its really cool light plan which highlights all important landmarks of the city. The walking tour is well planned and in about 2 hrs you feel you really know Ghent. Thank you Ben for making the walking tour fun and engaging with all the stories, facts and interesting things of Ghent.

    Great experience with Ben! It was the second time I visited Ghent, and also the second time that I did a tour of the city with him! Ben told us many curious stories and facts about Ghent that allows you to really appreciate it. If you want to try something special, book also his night tour.. wonderful!

    Very nice, relax, sympathetic tour from Ben hitting the right balance between big history & culture and down to earth daily life anecdotes. The classical tour of Ghent took about 2 hours but time did fly ! No better compliment to give : thanks Ben!

    Ben is very sweet and the tour was alot of fun. It was an interesting way to do a crash course to the city of Ghent. The history and the light plan was discussed.if you want to spare time at night to know the city this is recommended. !!! Also he came on time! πŸ™‚

    I did a night tour with Ben and it was amazing. He shared so many facts, stories, and enthusiasm about his city. It is a must do when in Ghent - especially the night tour. The pictures do not do the beautiful tour justice!

    (Translated by Google) Roses are red, violets are blue, this tour with Ben is definitely for you !! We first walked through the streets, he asked us to use our 3rd eye, so we kept an eye on everything! We saw and learned about all types of graffiti, without Ben's fantastic explanation you sometimes wouldn't see them! The tour is certainly fun to do with kids, because Ben is a fantastic guide !! Greetings to the people from Genk !! (Original) Rozen zijn rood, viooltjes zijn blauw, deze tour met Ben is zeker iets voor jou!! We liepen eerst gezellig door de straten, hij vroeg ons om ons 3de oog te gebruiken, zo hielden we alles in de gaten! We zagen en leerden over alle soorten graffiti, zonder Ben zijn fantastische uitleg zag je ze soms nie! De tour is ook zeker leuk om te doen met kids, want Ben is een fantastische gids!! Groetjes de mensen uit Genk!!

    (Translated by Google) Let us be guided through Graffiti Ghent by Ben together with 2 friends. Excellent knowledge, time for relaxation and personal interpretation, enthusiasm and he also enjoys his tour himself. Can't imagine a better guide. (Original) Samen met 2 vriendinnen ons laten begeleiden door Graffiti Gent door Ben. Uitstekende kennis, tijd voor ontspanning en eigen interpretatie, enthousiasme en hij geniet ook zelf van zijn rondleiding. Kan me geen betere gids voorstellen.

    You cannot go wrong with Ben! We booked a private tour with him and had a fabulous time. Rarely have I seen such a knowledgeable guide that not only knows the hidden gems of Gent but also has very entertaining stories about the various places. Furthermore he was so enthusiastic (and generous) that we got 30 minutes extra time and a handful of delicious Belgium chocolates. Next time we're in Gent I'll definitely book him for another tour!

    Ben is the BEST! No other tour guide in Ghent came close. He provided me contacts before I arrived, and is even helpful several months later. His tour was personal, customized, thorough and very fun! We even invited him to lunch! He is just that great!!
