Review for: Join-in sightseeing boat tour

I arrived at noon on the day of my reservation and missed the previous boat tour, but I only had to wait a little over ten minutes for the next one. As it turned out, I was very lucky to get on a boat with me as the only passenger. The boatman even mentioned that I was very fortunate to have what turned out to be a private tour. He was extremely dedicated, explaining Ghent's history, attractions, and more while steering the boat. He was a wonderful boatman, and it was an exceptionally fantastic boat tour experience.

After selecting the date at the time of booking, I received the voucher immediately. When I arrived at their ticket booth, I showed the voucher to the staff member to confirm. There happened to be a boat that was one person short and about to leave, so I boarded right away and departed immediately. I was super lucky!

Review for: Join-in sightseeing boat tour

It rained that day, so the boat departed every hour. When asking at the counter, my English was not good and I asked again about the time of the next boat. The grandfather sounded a little impatient. There will be an awning on the boat on rainy days, so it’s relatively difficult to take photos. The tour guide’s trilingual tour guide is very good👍🏻
