Got the schedulle changed a day before the tour.. Antwerp is changed to Bruges, i thought it was ok. But the tour guide really is the problem, i know he is still young, but he didnt pay any attention or even care to us, he just mumbling with his fast-unclear spanish-english, telling the history of this and that. While in the back there are an elders which left behind because they need help and waiting time when crossing the street, bumpy road or bridge. Nowdays is a social media era, everyone and i bet even the guide knew it. But i wonder why he never give us a time like a seconds to take a photo or anything. When instructed to going back to the bus at 16.45. Me and my mum coming at the location at 16.30 and there is no one right there, we met several persons of the tour members also got confused; we are like wondering is this the right place to wait for the bus, because the bus or the guide is not even here at all.. You know what? The guide coming like in last seconds of 16.43-16.44.. God, this is second time in my life i got this kind of guide. Nz trip and now this trip. Sorry to make this trip looks bad, iam not going to Antwerp, but I cant write at Bruges & Ghent tour since iam not pay for it. Thanks for changed my trips suddenly like that and here is what i honestly feel abt the trip; Disappoinment Also there is title : atomium stop, and i dont get that tooI was on this day trip with Jamal our guide. He is thoughtful, and makes sure to remind us about our meet up times, just so we can be there in time for leaving. He also helped us with the meeting spots.

I was on this day trip with Jamal our guide. He is thoughtful, and makes sure to remind us about our meet up times, just so we can be there in time for leaving. He also helped us with the meeting spots. We had free time, as well as organised tour. I think it is a good balance. I recommend this tour, and Jamal, he knows how to combine information with humor.Very quick views of Antwerp and Ghent, but perfect for our four day vacation to Brussels as we would not want to spend a day in each city. If your vacation is longer I would recommend spending a day in each city. We loved Ghent and the walking tours of each city.

More than the trip ,what was most endearing ,was the cordial behaviour of Guio ,our english speaking guide with her cute Tom.She played the ideal host for the few of us ,and took extra time to stay with us all day ,guiding us through all major attractions in these 2 cities , suggesting lovely eateries and simultaneously talikng through various historical events in most candid way.Her enthusiasm and bubbly nature was kind of the driving force for all of us and saved the day,because unfortunatey the weather was not on our side.Overall pleasurable trip with a great guide,only the weather was a bit spoiltsport.The long trip was worthy every moment of it because both cities are very rich in history, architecture, tradition, much to see and explore.

The long trip was worthy every moment of it because both cities are very rich in history, architecture, tradition, much to see and explore. The tour pointed out the most important elements. It was all in Spanish which I was happily surprised, Marta our tour guide was very energetic, and had much knowledge about every place we visited with much enthusiasm all the time, and Xavi the driver was very safe and punctual. I do really recommend this tour, gracias Buendia Tours, great organization!Beautiful and wonderful cities. A must see. The tourist guide was nice and informative. Will definitely recommend to friends and family.
