Review of a Brussels day trip to Ghent and the Atomium, with guided sightseeing, four hours of free time, transport, costs, and tips.

“Pablo was knowledgeable, accommodating, and very enjoyable. His knowledge of history and his ability to make connections throughout Belgium's timeline was very helpful. The day was beautiful, so no one-minded the walking. After some initial transportation issues with the company, not the guide's fault, we had plenty of time in Ghent. A terrific one day excursion, which still left us the late afternoon and evening in Brussels.”
