Good to Know

The complete experience lasts approximately 4 hours. Arrive 15 minutes before departure to ensure a timely start. This tour is designed for adults due to the beer tastings, so bring valid photo ID if you plan to participate in the alcohol portion.

Wear comfortable walking shoes as the tour involves several walking segments through Ghent's cobbled streets. The tour is not suitable for wheelchairs due to the historic city terrain. The canal cruise operates in all weather conditions, so dress appropriately for the season.

If you're planning a longer stay in Belgium, consider exploring more of the country with a full day trip to Bruges or discover the capital's highlights with a Brussels walking tour. For those interested in more Belgian beer experiences, a Brussels beer tasting tour offers an excellent complement to your Ghent adventure.
