Explore Ghent in a totally different way
02/03/2011
Thinking of visiting Ghent in an original way? Then we’ve got a few alternatives to a “regular” walk through the city. Why not opt for a guide, who can passionately share the city’s heart and soul with you during a traditional tour or a cultural-culinary visit? You can also explore the city’s “other side” on a boat or sail along the river Lys.
Or maybe you’d prefer a carriage ride?
Look no further, our city has it all!
Guided tours
Boat trips on Ghent's inland waterways
You can choose from four boating companies to discover Ghent along its waterways. The traditional boat tour is available every day. For theme tours, we kindly ask you to contact the boating companies in advance. Your captain will also be your guide. During the boat tour, he will gladly share his knowledge with his passengers, naturally in various languages.
