1.Bruges & Ghent Day Tour – 2 Fairytale Cities

★★★★★★★★★★4.7 · 8,242 reviews · 10h 30m · from $57Our pick

Join Brussels City Tours for a 10.5-hour coach trip to Ghent and Bruges. Guides such as Veronica, Jan, Nico, and Juliana lead walks through medieval streets, churches, squares, and canals, while scheduled free time lets you eat, shop, or explore on your own. Lunch, entry fees, and the optional Bruges boat ride cost extra.

“A perfect day, thanks to Mr. Jan Van Melkebeke and the team. The company seems to have extensive experience with this type of tour because, even though it covers two cities in just a few hours, you still get to see enough and learn a lot about their history. I would definitely recommend it and would probably do it again if I had the chance.”
