Accompanied by a guide, step back in time with an enjoyable walking tour through two historic cities, starting with a scenic bus ride through the colorful Flemish countryside.

Arriving in Ghent, your tour begins with a guided canal boat ride that brings you to the heart of the city center. Here, you will be instantly impressed by the town's centuries-old architecture, in particular St Michael's Church and the famous 'three towers' of Saint Nicholas Church, the Belfry and Saint Bavo's Cathedral, your next port of call. Charles V, the first Habsburg to become a Holy Roman Emperor, was baptized in St Bavo's Cathedral in 1500. Your guide will walk you through this amazing building which features an ornate pulpit of white Italian marble and Danish oak.

Leaving St Bavo's Cathedral, you will get back on the canal boat for a short transfer to your bus. After a short (one-hour drive) to Bruges, you will have the opportunity to walk along the charming cobbled streets past the marketplace with its impressive Guild Halls, and the Belfry, a medieval bell tower that stands 270 feet high. You will also view the Town Hall, Our Lady's Church and the Gothic Basilica of the Holy Blood (exterior view only), originally built in the 12th century as the chapel of the residence of the Count of Flanders.

You will then have some free time to enjoy lunch on your own.

Your excursion includes two hours and 30 minutes of free time in Bruges to have lunch on your own shop for souvenirs, Belgian chocolates, tapestries and Flemish lace.
