Firstly very misleading pricing on Viator. The £2.99 charge is to download the app - you have to pay a further £5 for the actual guide. It is in the details but well hidden. Also you cannot cancel the day before you book which is ridiculous as it’s just an app download. The actual tour worked ok. Light on history but mildly entertaining. Suspect we should have chosen a different tour.

The guide will take you up to the most magical and romantic spot in Ghent.
It is the meeting spot for locals & tourists in Ghent, next to the river. The most remarquable building will be shown and explained why and there will be a funny story about the past of another building. Something very unusual that not a lot of people know!

In your advertisement where you sold this product you said that it was an audio guide. We did not think that meant downloading the guide on your cellphone and using mobile data to activate that guide. We could not make use of this service, because we did not have mobile data, so it was a waste of money for us.
Funny and informative audioguide which took me around the innercity of Ghent. Would reccommend very strongly if you want to explore the inner city and if you're not really a guided tour kind of person like me or if you are short on time and don't want the hassle of making an appointment with a guide, waiting for the group to be complete,... Briefly: without wasting too much time.
My family thoroughly enjoyed our walking tour with Carolina. She was so kind and engaging, and did a wonderful job sharing the story of Anne Frank. Highly recommend this tour.
It played a group of unrelated songs and poetry instead of the guide. A complete ripoff. Do t waste your money.
During our recent visit to Ghent, my friends and I decided to explore the city with an AudioGuide Ghent, and what a great choice that was! The AudioGuide Ghent was filled with original stories and funny anecdotes, making us burst into laughter regularly. It was a unique way to learn more about the history and hidden gems of the city, much more lively than standard tours. This AudioGuide Ghent is definitely recommended for anyone who wants to discover Ghent in a light-hearted and enjoyable manner. Don’t miss this chance to visit Ghent in such a unique way!
What a tour this was, een unforgettabele moment. I laughed a lot and learned a lot! It’s perfect combination between culture and comedy.
Fun date in the centre of Ghent. Able to stop at a bar whenever you want and start for part 2 whenever you want. We enjoyed it a lot.
Audio book was promptly delivered. We had a map accompanied by a funny audio guide. We could easily follow the route on google maps and having fun listening to the funny description
Used this audio tour with some Erasmus friends, was a fun activity and interesting stories/places.
It was very easy to use and there were some cool fun facts about the city that motivated to explore even more. Entertaining and fun do to with friends!
If you want to explore Ghent in a unique way, you have definitely made the the right decision to use this audio guide. The mix of historical facts and fun facts completely captures your attention. I am originally from Ghent, but after the tour I was immediately stimulated to explore Ghent further, both the beautiful historic buildings and the cozy restaurants and bars. Highly recommended!
Honestly, I couldn't recommend this tour more. I've been backpacking around for the past half year and it tends to get tedious reading the same dull tourisric stuff in my Lonely Planet all the time. This tour was informing, humourous and to the point, and a perfect replacement for free city tour guides. Loved the funny jokes from time to time :)
This tour was amazing! Me and my girlfriend, together with another couple started the tour together. We had a lot of fun. Suddenly, we met other people that were doing the same tour with Audioguide. We finished the tour together and agreed this was definitely the best tour we ever did. This is a totally different experience than with a boring old guide. The content was funny and we discovered nice hidden gems.
Really good tour! Nice way to explore Ghent! Saw all the beautiful places and the audio was a plus point
My partner and I were looking for something fun to do in our day-trip to ghent but for most activities we had to make reservations etc. We did this audioguide not really knowing what to expect but man was it fun! You get to know the city center & some history and a lot of laughs very quickly. We could not keep the smile of our faces. The guide is very passionate and has a funny belgian english accent! I wish we would have the same in other towns!
An alternative fun way to learn more about Ghent. Ideal to do with your love d ones, family, colleagues... Personally the Gravensteen-spot was my favorite! If you would like to find out way - check this AudioGuide tour! You will be amazed.
First thing to do when in Ghent. I would definitely recommend to all tourists. It’s a fun way to get to know the history of the city.
This was an unique experience. Incredible fun way to explore Ghent for the first time. A good mixture between comedy and culture. Hope other cities will follow soon as well.
Very clear, pleasant and interesting audioguide that takes you to nice and beautiful places in Ghent. Highly recommended!
I really enjoyed it and the guide was very nice to listen to. In addition, the city of Ghent is highly recommended to visit there.
I'm not really into audio tours, but I was persuaded to do it once. It was really great! I did not expect that. Super nice guide!
The tour was wonderfully organized. Through this tour you will see all the highlights of the beautiful city of Ghent!
A perfect tour to show the beautiful city of Ghent to your Erasmus friends. During this tour you will be taken through the most beautiful places and impressive views of Ghent, while you will also learn interesting facts about the city in a fun way.
