Step into two of Europe's most perfectly preserved medieval cities on a private full-day journey. Glide along Bruges' mirror-still canals and lose yourself in Ghent's floodlit Gothic skyline — a bucket-list double that defines Flanders.
What to expect
Your private guide collects you and whisks you first to Bruges, the 'Venice of the North,' for a morning canal boat glide past medieval guild-houses and a wander through the Burg Square. After lunch at a Michelin-recommended brasserie, you continue to Ghent to climb the Gravensteen castle ramparts and take in the famous triptych panorama of the three towers. The day finishes with a private transfer back to port well before all-aboard.
Good to know
Brussels to Bruges is ~1 hr by road; full day runs 9 hrs. Pre-book your canal boat slot in Bruges (Bruges Boat Tours, EUR 12 pp) as queues form quickly in season. Confirm pick-up point from Zeebrugge or Brussels city port with the guide at booking.
