    (Translated by Google) What a surprise Thursday evening, we met with colleagues from Aluprof Belgium at the St Baafs Cathedral where Kristel Vereecken was waiting for us to visit the 'Adoration of the Mystic Lamb' in the Cathedral. This absolute masterpiece by the Van Eyck brothers holds many secrets that were explained in a fascinating way by Kristel. The fact that we were also alone in the Cathedral, it was after closing time, made everything even more special. (Original) Wat een verrassing donderdagavond, we kwamen met de collega's van Aluprof Belgium samen aan de St Baafs kathedraal waar Kristel Vereecken ons stond op te wachten om een bezoek te brengen aan het 'de Aanbidding van het Lam Gods' in de Kathedraal. Dit absolute meesterwerk van de gebroeders Van Eyck kent vele geheimen die op een fascinerende manier werden toegelicht door Kristel. Het feit dat we ook alleen in de Kathedraal waren, het was na sluitingstijd, maakte alles nog zo bijzonder.

    Our company outing was enhanced by a boat-walk tour through Ghent. We were led through Ghent in three groups by 3 top guides. The two sides of the city in particular (on the shore and on the water) were greatly appreciated. Contact with Kristel went very well, we were able to coordinate exactly what we wanted (drinks on the boat, chocolate tasting along the way). And she also gave us a good tip to have a traditional and delicious lunch at the Abbot with the entire group (40 people). Recommended for anyone who wants to explore Ghent.

    There is no better way to learn about and enjoy the breathtaking Altarpiece of Ghent! Kristel Vereecken is a true master of the work, making the history of the piece come alive and the exquisite details and symbolism luminous. Unforgettable. We felt privileged to benefit from her guidance and wisdom.

    (Translated by Google) On 16/12/2019 we visited De Krook with colleagues. Ghent-Authentic was responsible for the tour of the building and the surrounding site. Everything went very well. The guide was very driven, professional and authentic. All agreements were met. In short, for a good guided walk in Ghent, I recommend Ghent-Authentic. (Original) Op 16/12/2019 bezochten wij met de collega's de Krook. Ghent-Authentic stond in voor de rondleiding van het gebouw en de omliggende site. Alles is zeer goed verlopen. De gids was zeer gedreven, professioneel en authentiek. Alle afspraken waren nagekomen. Kortom voor een goede begeleide wandeling in het Gentse raad ik Ghent-Authentic aan.

    (Translated by Google) On Friday 27-9-2019 we (group of colleagues, company outing) had a tour through the center of Ghent, based on an enthusiastic and competent guide. She made the tour a lot enjoyable experience with Ghent. Highly recommended.

    (Translated by Google) Kristel and her team succeed wonderfully in really feeling the mysticism, realism and symbolism of the Mystic Lamb during the nocturne (private tour!!!) in the gothic Saint Bavo Cathedral. The very personal explanation by Kristel and the view of one of Van Eyck's greatest masterpieces takes you on a journey through time +/- 600 years back. Attention! Your look and impression of the work, as well as the cathedral, will never be the same... you have been warned ;-) Top event as team building with employees and/or customers; but also private. (Original) Kristel en haar team slagen er wonderwel in om de mystiek, realisme en symboliek van het Lam Gods werkelijk aan te voelen tijdens de nocturne (privé rondleiding!!!) in de gotische Sint-Baafskathedraal. De zeer persoonlijke toelichting door Kristel en de aanschouwing van één van Van Eycks grootste meesterwerken voert je mee op een reis doorheen de tijd +/- 600 jaar terug. Opgelet! Je blik en indruk van het werk, evenals de kathedraal, zal nooit meer dezelfde zijn... men is bij deze gewaarschuwd ;-) Top event als teambuilding met medewerkers en/of klanten; maar evengoed privé.

    (Translated by Google) I very much enjoyed the digital talk about the Ghent Altarpiece and especially the poetic way in which Kristel Vereecken has placed Van Eyck's masterpiece in context. (Original) Ik heb zeer erg genoten van de digital talk over het Lam Gods en vooral van de poëtische manier waarop Kristel Vereecken het meesterwerk van van Eyck in context heeft geplaatst.

    I arranged a guided boat tour and walk for a team event with a customer. As a Ghentian, I thought I knew almost everything there is to know about Ghent, but Pol shared some untold stories in an enthousiastic way. We all enjoyed the activity and I would surely recommend Ghent-Authentic!

    The Aluprof team visited the St. Bavo Cathedral in Ghent under the professional and above all sympathetic guidance of Kristel. There we were immersed in the atmosphere of the 16th century, with the Ghent Altarpiece as the highlight. Thanks to Kristel's in-depth knowledge of the world-famous altarpiece, we discovered the versatility and depth of this wonderful painting. The evening ended with a pleasant dinner in the Gekroonde Hoofden.
