What to expect
After collection from your hotel, you'll spend the day exploring two contrasting Flemish cities. Bruges reveals itself through narrow cobbled streets, towering belfries, and reflective waterways—your guide points out the spots most visitors miss. In Ghent, you'll navigate a slightly grittier, more student-spirited atmosphere with equally striking architecture. Chocolate tastings punctuate the itinerary, introducing you to Belgian confectionery traditions. Expect a mix of walking and seated time in the vehicle. The pace suits all fitness levels, though comfortable shoes matter.
Good to know

The tour accommodates pushchairs, infant seats, wheelchairs, and service animals. Tips aren't included. Bring curiosity about tweaking the itinerary; the operators welcome preferences and adjust routes accordingly.
