Overview

Discover Ghent through its flavours on a unique walking food tour that blends sightseeing with carefully selected tastings. Explore both the historic centre and lesser-known neighbourhoods while enjoying traditional Ghent and Belgian specialities, alongside international dishes that reflect the city’s multicultural character.

We collaborate with small, local businesses and introduce you to the people behind the food, happy to share their stories and passion.

Engage all your senses as you see the city, smell and taste the food, and listen to your guide’s stories. With small groups only, we guarantee a personal, relaxed and memorable experience.

Book your tour now and taste Ghent like a local.
