Let me show you the fascinating history of Ghent. One of the largest and most important medieval cities in the 13th and 14th c. Famous for its woollen cloth production, its medieval guilds, its stone towers, its palaces and and the birthplace of Emperor Charles. But Ghent is also a city with an industrial heritage that has left factories and beautiful neo-Gothic buildings. And a vibrant present thanks to the 80,000 students who live in the city. Present and past mix in this amazing walking tour.

About Tour Guide Albert C.

I'm official guide of Flanders (training 2, 5 years) and official guide of the city of Bruges (training 2, 5 years). I have also done several seminars of Medieval art, Industrial history, mythology. . .

But most of all, I'm passionate about the amazing cultural and historical heritage of the Belgian cities. And I'm also writer what gives extra thrilling to my stories and the way I explain them.

Don't expect a boring tour with me. I love to entertain people with interesting facts, funny anecdotes, sense of humor and tasting experiences. Because food and drinks are basics in the Belgian culture.

I speak English, Spanish, Dutch, Catalan and a little of French and Portuguees.

Exclusive tours. I guide in the most beautiful Belgian cities: Brussels, Bruges, Ghent, Antwerp, Namur, Leuven, Mechelen, Ieper, Liege. Also in the city of Luxembourg.
