We have just traveled through the city of Ghent with our two little girls aged 13 and 14. They did not see the time pass and remained concentrated almost the entire period. A relaxed, playful and open experience on the city's monuments. I recommend it for a walk with children or grandchildren To test in a group perhaps also Congratulations and good luck to your team

Nice walk It allows you to visit the city center and discover a bit of history without calling on a guide! To be repeated in other cities

only had some trouble opening the activity but otherwise a good experience!

Interesting information about the city, nice puzzles, we had great time.
