Was hard to hear your guide over the noise of the boat engine. Smelly exhaust when going down wind. Would recommend a quite, CO2 free, electric boat tour instead.

Strongly recommended - initially I was a bit apprehensive but it was completely worth it. The total ride was for about 50mins. The tour guide was superb, he was friendly, knowledgeable, multilingual and had a good sense of humor. The person at the ticket counter was polite too. Overall, it was a memorable experience and a great way for sight seeing.

Best thing ever. If you have the day or just an hour in Antwerpen, you should definitely do a tour boat. It takes +- 40 min, it's 7,50 euros and it shows you Gent like you will never see it. Our guide spoke 3 languages and was super nice and funny. You won't be disappointed!

We took the boat right at 10.00 in the morning, we are early birds 😉 Griet, our guide was very nice and she showed us many hidden places we didn't know in Gent. She did a great job. The boats are very clean too. A very nice boat trip for sure 👍

Compared to the one in Brugges it doesn't worth the money. The captain almost forced us to tip, didn't liked the attitude. If you decide to do the ride try it early in the morning

(Detailed review below) Ambience - 4/5 Cost - 5/5 Service - 5/5 Ambience - The boat is spacious and comfortable (padded seats). Simple, no frills, open air boat ride. Umbrellas are available should the weather be unkind. There are seats along both sides of the boat as well as down the middle. Accessibility - The boats are not built for those with difficulty in movements so unfortunately not suitable for wheelchair users. If you’re on a crutch/walking stick, it might be okay but there’s a big step down from the dock into the boat so just check that you’re okay with that first. Cost - I like boat trips so I may be a bit biased but I think this is worth the money. A great time on the boat and just lovely to be able to see Gent from a different perspective. Tip - Sit along the sides (any would do as what you miss on the forward trip, you’ll see on the return trip) or better still get a seat right at the front, closest to the driver for unobscured views. Also, the ticket counter is easily spotted with it’s huge bright yellow umbrellas just along the bridge. Service - Great fun. Staff/driver were really friendly and knowledgeable; gave us a lot of info on Gent and pointing out interesting stuff along the way that we may not have naturally spotted. The route is pretty okay. It passes the castle and several lovely areas. Learned a lot from the trip.

Boat in Gent offers a fair price for their canal boat cruise. The tour was very informative and contained interesting facts about the history of Ghent. The tour lasts about 50 minutes. However, the boat can be a bit crowded. You can get tickets in advance online or at the counter.

While in Ghent, we decided to explore the city's waterways, and "Boat in Gent" came highly recommended. I now understand why. The 50-minute boat tour was a delightful blend of entertainment and education. Our guide was nothing short of brilliant, with his humorous takes on Ghent’s history keeping us engaged throughout the journey. In addition to our fantastic experience with "Bout in Gent", we learned that boat trips in Ghent are a longstanding tradition, providing a unique perspective of the city's medieval architecture, picturesque canals, and historic landmarks. Many locals and tourists alike opt for these boat trips as they offer a serene way to discover hidden gems and hear tales that aren't always found in guidebooks. The city seems to unfold before your eyes as you glide along its waters. The pricing for "Bout in Gent" was also quite reasonable, with adult tickets at 9 Euros and children's tickets at 6.5 Euros. Given the enriching experience, it's a bargain! If you're ever in Ghent, boat trips should be high on your to-do list. And among them, "Bout in Gent" stands out for its memorable experience. It truly is a must when visiting this beautiful Belgian city. Highly recommended!

(Translated by Google) Wonderful rental company for many tourists, exploring the Kuip van Gent !!! (Original) Prachtig verhuurbedrijf voor menig toerist, de Kuip van Gent verkennen !!!

(Translated by Google) The walk is beautiful although the canal is a bit dirty. It is understandable since it has no movement. It is not like a river but rather like a pond. Although they give you some instructions in Spanish, the visit is done in all the languages ​​of the world except the language of Cervantes. From the indications in English I understood that the descendants of the ancient thirds of Flanders are not very welcome. A pity that they stay in that chapter of the history of Spain (and that they behave with that baggage) with how friendly we are in some Spanish regions. Come on, I was surprised by the erre que erre of the evil Hispanic Catholic Empire centuries ago. (Original) El paseo es precioso aunque el canal está un poco sucio. Es algo comprensible ya que no tiene movimiento. No es como un río sino más bien como un estanque. Aunque te entregan unas indicaciones en español, la visita se hace en todos los idiomas del mundo menos en la lengua de Cervantes. Por las indicaciones en inglés entendí que los descendientes de los antiguos tercios de Flandes no somos muy bienvenidos. Una pena que se queden en ese capítulo de la historia de España (y que se comporten con ese bagaje) con lo amigable que somos en algunas regiones españolas. Vamos que me sorprendió el erre que erre del malvado Imperio Católico Hispano de hace siglos.

(Translated by Google) One of the happiest experiences in my life. (Original) Одно из самых счастливых впечатлений в моей жизни.

(Translated by Google) Nice view on the river. (Original) Bonita vista sobre el rio.

(Translated by Google) Pleasant boat trip of + -45 min. Relatively cheap, 7.5 euros. Explanation in Dutch, French and English. Would not recommend it in bad weather. (Original) Aangename boottocht van +-45min. Relatief goedkoop, 7,5 euro. Uitleg in Nederlands, Frans en Engels. Zou het niet aanraden bij slecht weer.

This is a must do if you are in gent. There are many options to choose from and so i took the one that was 40 mins for 9 euros per person. The guide was ver helpful and knowledgeable. Most importantly, spike fluent english. This boat trip is very calm and soothing, it also gives us the perfect opportunity to know more about the city and its historic locations and details of the past. The view of Gravensteen is majestic from the boat. I would definitely recommed this for every tourist.

(Translated by Google) A very interesting sightseeing in Ghent waters .. With lots of information on its various historic buildings ... The tour is in English and French and lasts about 40 to 45 minutes ... And costs 7.5 euros per person (Original) Μια πολύ ενδιαφέρουσα περιήγηση στα νερά της Γάνδης.. Με πολλές πληροφορίες για διάφορα ιστορικά κτίρια της... Η ξενάγηση είναι στα αγγλικά και στα γαλλικά και κρατάει περίπου 40 με 45 λεπτά... Και κοστίζει 7,5 ευρώ το άτομο

We were with the middle-aged guide. Waiting time and the overall duration of the ride were perfectly matched. The guide was good at story telling and kept it interesting through-out. Highly recommended - Great Price. 9.50€ (adults) for a great, interesting tour on a boat. In comparison you would pay 13€ for the plain castle (another attraction in town).

Nice trip on the canal, 50 minutes for 7,50€ is totally worth it. The guide was interesting and funny, and the comments were in three languages. I recommend.

Explored the beauty of Ghent's canal using this company. The boatman is also the tourist guide. He spoke in 3 languages. He is very good. It is a 50 minutes ride. We were provided with umbrellas. True enough, it rained after a few minutes. It was cold so be prepared to have a beanie and a thick outer jacket. Worth the 9.50 euro for the 50 minute ride. They start at 10 am and the last trip is at 6 pm.

Good value for the price and guide was informative - our boat was 50% English speakers but he always started in Dutch then French and finally English. So I felt we had the shortest explanation - that diss t mean it wasn’t worth it.. we were mid week at the start of season. Guide was friendly and answered extra questions. Some thing I found I was surprised, even though we were told in Benelux there is not a tipping culture - there was a sign posted on the boat in 5 languages stating tipping is customary… So that was a little offputting. But since we have a tiling culture in US was happy to give him €3 for a €19 total tour. Sit closer to the captain if possible - easier picture taking and easier to hear

Had a great boat tour with these guys a couple of days this week, using both the watertram and the guided boat tour. Both guides were fab and very friendly. We heard lots of funny stories and got some great local tips for bars, beers and sweet shops. Money well spent.

It was raining, and this is one of the only companies that put a roof to the boat that didn't block the view. The tour was nice and gave the right context to the city without going to deep, so it can fit everyone.

Must do in Ghent? Canal boat tour! 🛶 ⁣ ⁣ A typical boat tour lasts 40 minutes and cruises past all of Ghent’s major sights, including the Belfry and Gravensteen.⁣ We chose a regular public boat tour but if you’re feeling adventurous, you can go for a kayak rental! (It was chilly enough for us without the risk of falling into the river 🥶)⁣ ⁣ Boat in Gent, €9 per person (big yellow umbrella by the canal. You can’t miss it!) ⁣

Highly recommend it. Very nice and approachable guide and cute route around the city. Interesting explanations in 3 languages: flemish, french and english and everything for a good price of 9.50

A very nice attraction to discover the beautiful city of Ghent from a different perspective! Our guide gave us detailed explanations on the city's landmarks while also adding some nice anecdotes to the mix! Explanations are available in multiple languages, our offered Dutch, French, German and Spanish. Also, there are multiple boat places in Ghent, but this one seemed a bit cheaper than others, at 8,50 per person 👌

(Translated by Google) Too bad for the weather, boat discovery, but if it rains they also give you the umbrella, guide in French and English, a brochure informs you of the most interesting points to visit in this beautiful city. Spectacular channels that separate the houses and beautiful churches, you can also admire from the water of the river the fantastic castle of the counts of flandes that I recommend to visit, even here, unfortunately, there is no guide in Italian. A trip of about an hour with the boat very interesting to discover the beauties of this beautiful city of Belgium. (Original) Peccato per il tempo, barca scoperta, ma se piove ti danno anche l'ombrello, guida in francese ed inglese, un depliant ti informa i punti più interessanti da visitare in questa splendida città. Spettacolare i canali che separano le case e chiese bellissime, inoltre puoi ammirare dall' acqua del fiume il fantastico castello dei conti di flandes che consiglio di visitare, anche qui purtroppo manca la guida in italiano. Una gita di circa un'ora con la barca molto interessante per scoprire le bellezze di questa splendida città del Belgio.

(Translated by Google) I liked the boat trip. The cost is 10 euros. The ticket price includes a glass of champagne. Travel time is 40 minutes. I recommend it! (Original) Подорож на човні сподобалась. Вартість 10 євро. У вартість квитка входить келих шампанського. Тривалість подорожі 40 хвилин. Рекомендую!

Would not recommend. Take one of the thirty minute tours instead. More or less same route. Terrible guide. Talks the whole tour, very slowly, and has to stop the boat to finish the information speeches. Boat is driving slower than any other vessel we passed... All of this despite having only three languages going andto top it off the English version being less than ten percent of the total time spent talking... The 45 minute tour was not only five minutes delayed because the guide had to eat an impromptu lunch. Also ended up taking one hour...

(Translated by Google) I expected the boat trip shorter. However, it went back and forth through the rivers several times. Recommended if you want to hear some facts about the city. The guide spoke many languages ​​and took the time to tell about Ghent. (Original) Ik had de boottocht korter verwacht. Deze ging echter meerdere keren heen en weer door de rivieren. Aan te raden als je wat feitjes over de stad wil horen. De gids sprak vele talen en nam de tijd om te vertellen over Gent.

Must go experience in Gent. Price of ticket was 9 eur on Getyourguide. Our guide spoke more than 5 languages and knew the city inside out. Quiet electric boat made it easy to listen. Based on videos, its visible, how nice the tour is.

it was a nice tour for the price. our guide was great, she spoke EN, NL and FR, and was able to answer questions about the main points of interest. the tour lasted about 50 minutes.

Reserved boat at 10AM. Nobody there except some blank faces ignoring us. Heard by coincidence they would have a boat ready at 10.30. Personnel/guide didn't seem happy at all. Sorry. We were there on time and didn't deserve this reception. Boat trip was ok. Guide had no balance in time between languages. But knew a lot! Thx. My conclusion: they are less expensive, but low service offered and crew seemed to dislike the customer/tourist. The start of the boattrip threw a negative feeling over all of us. We felt really uncomfortable.

Our guide ‘the cool guy’ was very informative and super nice. I forgot to ask for him name and give credits for him. We liked him a lot :)

It was really quick and easy to buy tickets for this tour in person, there was no problem that we didn’t book ahead. The tour was 40 minutes long and cost €9 per person - do note that it’s encouraged to tip your guide! Our guide was so friendly and knowledgeable, delivering the tour in English and Dutch. He was interactive and happy to answer our questions. It was raining on the day of our tour but luckily the boat was well covered. Highly recommend!

A great boat tour in Ghent for €9! We booked the tickets online but it is vers easy to buy the tickets in person at the dock too. The kiosk staff was kind and the tour guide was helpful, speaking 3(EN,FR,NL!!!) languages at the same time. The information was interesting and our guide made it personal, which is always fun. A beatiful way of sightseeing in this city.

Interesting boat ride along the canals with historic information about the city and its buildings. Good guide. Boats leave every 45mins. The ride lasts around 45 minutes. Wear a cap/hat in Summer.

(Translated by Google) One of the best ways to get to know this place is through this Boat Tour, during the ride they tell you the story of how Ghent has evolved from its beginnings to the present day, all with a great view and curious facts of the guide of the ride. 100% recommended (Original) Una de las mejores maneras de conocer este lugar es a través de este Tour en bote, durante el paseo te cuentan la historia de como Gante ha evolucionado desde sus comienzos hasta el día de hoy, todo con una gran vista y datos curiosos de la guía del paseo. 100% recomendado

One of the best way how to experience historical center of Gent is to take a boat trip. You can see majority of medieval sights, learn interesting information. Great and humorous guide.

Great guides, great tour, a fantastic experience all the way! Would definitely recommend!

A friend of mine just removed his mask for a second to eat something as it was lunch time and the driver used words like ‘throw you away’. Even though the boat tour was OK (in comparison to the one in Brugge which is much better), the whole experience was ruined. Rude fellows.

It's wonderful to see the lifestyle here in the beautiful landscape.

The best boat ride I ever had touring a city as spectacular as this one.. Gent!

Nearly 1 hour visit on the canals of Gent for 7,5€. Great guide as well, speaks English and French. A must for any Gent visit.

(Translated by Google) Good service and very nice driver. An excursion to the Ghent canals is worthwhile. (Original) Buon servizio e pilota molto simpatico. Vale la pena fare un escursione per i canali di Gand.

(Translated by Google) Perfect bilingual guide (Original) Guide parfait 'bilingue

(Translated by Google) The guide spoke German very well and told us a lot about the history of the city. The boat tour lasted 50 minutes and was very nice. (Original) Der Guide konnte sehr gut deutsch und erzählte uns viel über die Geschichte der Stadt. Die Bootstour dauerte 50min und war sehr schön.

Both educating and funny

Nice

(Translated by Google) Nice, you pass beautiful parts of the city, the captain of the boat gave enough information about the city and the buildings we passed. (Original) Aardig, je komt langs mooie delen van de stad, de kapitein van de boot gaf voldoende informatie over de stad en de gebouwen waar we langs kwamen.

Friendly, helpful people. Loved it :)

(Translated by Google) Worth seeing Ghent by boat looks another side (Original) Merece la pena ver Gante en barco se ve otra cara

(Translated by Google) Nice walk but the speakers sounded terrible and you could barely hear what the guide had (Original) Bonito paseo pero los altavoces sonaban fatal y a penas podías escuchar lo que contaba el guía

(Translated by Google) Miy nice ride. Very friendly staff (Original) Miy lindo paseo. Personal muy amable.

(Translated by Google) A very nice walk on the Gent canals A beautiful view of the monuments The staff very friendly and it is not expensive (Original) Une très belle balade sur les canaux de Gent Une très belle vue sur les monuments Le personnel très sympathique et elle n'est pas chère

(Translated by Google) Gent from a different perspective. Watching the city from the level of the canals, with an interesting guide narrative worth recommending. (Original) Gent z innej perspektywy. Ogladanie miasta z poziomu kanałów, z interesującą narracją przewodnika warte polecenia.

Also got scammed by the women at the casher. We only need to buy one ticket (the other ticket was covered by city card), but she still charged money for two. I realized it on the boat and came back to ask for money back. Luckily I got it back...

Great boat ride not expensive very informative great tour guide with a sense of humour. Definitely worth it

(Translated by Google) Nice storyteller, nice umbrellas! (Original) Leuke verteller, fijne paraplu's!

(Translated by Google) Guide very nice, fun, the visit passes quickly! (Original) Guide très sympa, marrant, la visite passe vite !!!
