“We were supposed to go to Brussels and Bruges 2 days ago. We were not familiar with the Paris metro system and got lost trying to find the meeting point. We got there 17 minutes late and the bus had already left. I was told we couldn’t reschedule or get a refund. I put in a dispute with my credit card company and hopefully I’ll get my money back. I rebooked the trip but it was just for Bruges. Definitely was a great decision, cuz we wouldn’t have had enough time to enjoy both Bruges and Brussels in such a short time. Bruges is such a beautiful city! Every turn…”

“Spending half day in both Antwerp and Ghent was great plan. Ghent is beautiful town. However seemed like many places were closed during time of the tour. Believe that may be since Ghent is a large student town so local spots open later and cater to them and not us tourists. Just an observation. Still enjoyed the trip. Plenty of activity if stick to the main tourist section.”
