What to expect
You'll be collected from your Paris hotel early and driven into Belgium's Flanders region. Bruges reveals itself through narrow lanes lined with merchant houses and church spires; Ghent has a grittier, less-polished charm. Your guide steers toward lesser-known corners rather than the obvious postcard views. Expect to walk at a relaxed pace through both cities, stopping for the chocolate experience and any detours you request. The day unfolds on your schedule, not a predetermined timetable. Belgian weather is changeable—rain can arrive without warning despite morning sunshine.
Good to know
Bring an umbrella regardless of the forecast; Belgium averages 300 rainy days yearly. Gratuities aren't included, so budget separately if you wish to tip. The vehicle and all tour areas are wheelchair accessible. Infant seats and prams are accommodated.
