Nos encantó el tour. Nuestra guía Lucía demostró conocer bastante la historia de Brujas y Gante, a la vez que hizo muy ameno el recorrido de ambas ciudades. A pesar de que no pudimos llegar a tiempo al punto de encuentro, nos contactaron para ofrecernos ayuda y encontrar al grupo directamente en Brujas (obviamente cubriendo el costo del tren por nuestra cuenta), lo cual agradezco demasiado. Recomiendo muchísimo esta experiencia para disfrutar aún más la belleza de estas dos ciudades. Translate this opinion into English.

We loved the tour. Our guide, Lucia, demonstrated a deep knowledge of the history of Bruges and Ghent, and she made the tour of both cities very enjoyable. Although we couldn't arrive at the meeting point on time, they contacted us to offer assistance in finding the group directly in Bruges (obviously covering the cost of the train ourselves), which I greatly appreciated. I highly recommend this experience to further appreciate the beauty of these two cities. Opinion translated. Show original.

Excursión perfecta para ver Brujas y Gante. Al ir en bus la guía explicaba las cosas que íbamos viendo al salir de la ciudad. Hicimos un tour en cada una de las ciudades en las que nos contó muchísimos detalles de la historia, se nota que le gusta su trabajo. En cada ciudad teníamos libre poco mas de una hora, tiempo suficiente para sacarte 4 fotos en los lugares mas bonitos y comer o tomar algo rápido. Se pueden ver las 2 ciudades perfectamente en un día. El paseo en barco te quita mas tiempo Translate this opinion into English.

A perfect day trip to see Bruges and Ghent. Since we were traveling by bus, the guide explained the sights as we left the city. We took a tour in each city, where she shared many historical details; it's clear she loves her job. In each city, we had just over an hour of free time, enough to take a few photos at the most beautiful spots and grab a bite to eat or a quick drink. You can easily see both cities in one day. The boat trip takes up more time. Opinion translated. Show original.

Ambas ciudades son preciosas, a mí particularmente me gustó un poco más Brujas, pero Gante me sorprendió gratamente. En cuanto a los guias inmejorables, tanto Patricia como Juan Antonio super amables y atentos. Las explicaciones muy claras e interesantes. Repetiría. Un 10 sobre 10 Translate this opinion into English.

Both cities are beautiful. I personally liked Bruges a little more, but Ghent pleasantly surprised me. As for the guides, they were unbeatable. Both Patricia and Juan Antonio were super friendly and attentive. The explanations were very clear and interesting. I would repeat. 10 out of 10. Opinion translated. Show original.

Muy bien!! Una guia Excelente para un viaje relámpago a Brujas y Gante. El dia no da para más pero suficiente para conocer y recorrer un poco las dos ciudades y saber un poco de su historia. Muy recomendable si hay poco tiempo. Se tendrían que actualizar los intercomunicadores ya que se escuchaba bastante mal y se perdia la cobertura a poca distancia. Translate this opinion into English.

Very good!! An excellent guide for a quick trip to Bruges and Ghent. The day isn't long enough, but it's enough to explore both cities and learn a bit about their history. Highly recommended if you're short on time. The intercoms should be updated, as the audio quality was quite poor and coverage was lost at short distances. Opinion translated. Show original.

Todo fue muy bien. Puntos de encuentro y horarios. Pero lo principal fue nuestra guía española Isabel, que derrochó buena energía para enseñar y reseñar lo que íbamos conociendo, con muy buen manejo de la historia de esos tiempos. Excelente la guía!!!. Excelente Isabel. Muy confortable y limpio el bus. Translate this opinion into English.

Everything went very well. Meeting points and schedules. But the highlight was our Spanish guide, Isabel, who was full of energy, showing us and describing what we were seeing, with a very good grasp of the history of those times. Excellent guide!!!

Più che una gita dove poter scoprire nuovi posti, e’ stata una corsa contro cronometro!Abbiamo letteralmente corso dappertutto senza poterci godere i bellissimi posti.Diciamo che è stata un’esperienza che non ripeterei più.Potrei suggerire gruppi più piccoli!Eccezionale la nostra guida,Antonio che ha fatto del suo meglio,molto simpatico e paziente!

More than a trip to discover new places, it was a race against the clock! We literally ran everywhere without being able to enjoy the beautiful places. Let's just say it was an experience I would never repeat. I would recommend smaller groups! Our guide, Antonio, was exceptional and did his best; he was very friendly and patient!

We did the day trip to Bruges and Ghent with Estela, and it was fantastic! She was very knowledgeable and organized, sharing fascinating details about the history, culture, and legends of both cities. Estela kept the group engaged the whole day and made the experience smooth and enjoyable. We learned a lot and truly enjoyed every moment — totally recommended!

Todo estuvo perfecto, puntualidad y orden en la recogida, 8,30 de la mañana, el servicio de autobús muy bien, el grupo muy bien y la guía Guiomar, excelente, nos explicó la historía de Brujas, Gante y Bélgica, nota de 10. Brujas la 1ª ciudad que vimos, toda la ciudad medieval es impresionante y además de visitar el centro de la ciudad, pudimos navegar en un barco que habíamos contratado a través de Civitatis. A las 13,30 Gante, estuvimos 2,30 horas y pudimos ver casi todo el centro. Translate this opinion into English.

Everything was perfect: punctuality and order at the 8:30 a.m. pick-up, the bus service was excellent, the group was very friendly, and the guide, Guiomar, was excellent. She explained the history of Bruges, Ghent, and Belgium to us—a 10/10. Bruges was the first city we visited; the entire medieval city is impressive, and in addition to visiting the city center, we were able to sail on a boat we had booked through Civitatis. At 1:30 p.m., we were there for 2:30 hours and were able to see almost the entire center. Opinion translated. Show original.

(No vayais al restaurante en Bélgica que recomienda la guía, llamado ‘Greenwich’! Nos han atendido fatal, el servicio pésimo y la comida muy regular ) La excursión nos ha gustado mucho, te haces una idea de como son ambas ciudades. Quizás hubiera estado bien haber estado más rato libre en ambas ciudades, ya que tienes que ir muy a piñón y no te da tiempo a disfrutar y a visitar bien los sitios. Sería bueno que quizás la excursión durara 1 hora o hora y media más, pero bueno ️ Translate this opinion into English.

(Don't go to the restaurant in Belgium recommended by the guidebook, called 'Greenwich'! We received terrible service, lousy food, and average food.) We really enjoyed the tour; it gives you a great idea of what both cities are like. Perhaps it would have been nice to have had more free time in both cities, since you have to go at a very fast pace and don't have time to enjoy and visit the sites properly. It would have been nice if the tour had lasted an hour or an hour and a half longer, but oh well. Opinion translated. Show original.

Los de Palencia, con P han disfrutado mucho de la experiencia y más de la guía Guiomar; su simpatía, su cercanía han hecho que nos llevemos un gran recuerdo de Brujas y Gante. Esperemos que como ha dicho al final del viaje nos volvamos a ver viajando por el mundo. Translate this opinion into English.

Those from Palencia, along with P, thoroughly enjoyed the experience, especially our guide Guiomar. Her friendliness and warmth have left us with fond memories of Bruges and Ghent.

Nuestras experiencias fue maravillosa, nuestra guía turística "Guiomar" nos hizo del tour una experiencia única adentrándonos en la historia de estos países como si de verdad viviéramos en la época y sin olvidarnos de nuestro simpático y agradable conductor "Ammet" Recomiendo esta clase de experiencia a todo el mundo, pero si es verdad que desde la web de civitatis nos deberían haber especificado que dentro de la hora de tiempo libre entraba la media hora de paseo en barco en brujas. Translate this opinion into English.

Our experiences were wonderful, our tour guide "Guiomar" made the tour a unique experience, delving into the history of these countries as if we were really living in that time, and not to mention our friendly and pleasant driver "Ammet." I recommend this kind of experience to everyone, but it is true that the Civitatis website should have specified that the half-hour boat ride in Bruges was included in the hour of free time.

Excellent tour, very enjoyable, well-paced, and Davinia was a wonderful guide: she managed the time well, provided well-discussed explanations, and was suitable for all audiences.

All four had a great time, participating, and learning more than they had at school. 100% RECOMMENDED. Opinion translated. Show original.

Recomendamos muchísimo a Giomar. Nos encantaron sus explicaciones y recomendaciones. Agradable y divertida. No hay mucho tiempo libre para visitar las ciudades si decides hacerlo todo en un día. Pero esta es una buena opción si quieres despreocuparte de planificar y coger transporte y si vas corto de tiempo. Translate this opinion into English.

We highly recommend Giomar. We loved his explanations and recommendations. He was pleasant and fun. There isn't much free time to visit the cities if you decide to do them all in one day. But this is a good option if you want to avoid the hassle of planning and taking transportation and if you're short on time. Opinion translated. Show original.

Dávila fue nuestra guía y es una chica maravillosa dinámica jovial educada amable y respetuosa. Domina las ciudades y las recomendaciones excelentes un tour recomendado al 100% y si es con ella mejor. Dos grandes ciudades medievales de mucha historia aunque me gustaría volver pero un día para cada una porque se me hizo poco para lo mucho que me gustó. Repetiría seguro. Translate this opinion into English.

Dávila was our guide, and she's a wonderful, dynamic, cheerful, polite, kind, and respectful woman. She knows the cities well, and her recommendations are excellent. I highly recommend the tour, and if it's with her, even better. Two great medieval cities with a wealth of history, although I'd like to return for just one day each because it seemed too short for me considering how much I enjoyed it. I would definitely go back.

Hicimos el tour con Patricia. Se nota que es una persona preparada y profesional, con buen manejo del grupo y de los tiempos. Una buena primera aproximación a las dos ciudades, que te deja con muchas recomendaciones en caso de querer ampliar en una posterior visita. Fue divertido, pintoresco, informativo y delicioso (gracias a sus recomendaciones). Quedamos muy contentas. Translate this opinion into English.

We took the tour with Patricia. She's clearly a knowledgeable and professional guide, with excellent group and time management skills.

It was fun, picturesque, informative, and delightful (thanks to her recommendations). We were very happy. Opinion translated. Show original.

Muy bien, nuestra guía Patri genial, aprendimos un montón de cosas con ella. Lo único que sí dispones de más tiempo es recomendable hacer las dos ciudades por separado. Para disponer de más tiempo para conocerlas bien. Así vimos lo básico y con el estrés de llegar a tiempo te dejas cosas sin ver. Aún así sí no dispones de más días es muy buena opción y cómoda. Eso sí recomendaría que pusieran buses con baño, sobretodo por los niños. Translate this opinion into English.

Very good, our guide Patri was brilliant. We learned a ton from her. The only thing is that if you have more time, it's advisable to visit the two cities separately. This way, you'll have more time to really get to know them. That way, we saw the basics, and with the stress of arriving on time, you miss out on things. Even so, if you don't have more days, it's a very good and comfortable option. I would recommend offering buses with bathrooms, especially for the kids. Opinion translated. Show original.

Nuestra guía Guiomar fue encantadora, nos hizo el día súper ameno y además era híper amable, también estaba siempre dispuesta a responderte cualquier duda o pregunta las veces que hiciera falta. La excursión vale mucho la pena, si es verdad que en cuestión de tiempo, no se dispone de mucho tiempo para ver tanto Brujas como Gante, pero si estás pocos días en Bélgica te la recomiendo. Translate this opinion into English.

Our guide, Guiomar, was delightful. She made our day incredibly enjoyable and was also incredibly friendly. She was always willing to answer any questions or concerns as often as needed. The tour is well worth it. It's true that you don't have much time to see both Bruges and Ghent, but if you're only in Belgium for a few days, I highly recommend it. Opinion translated.
