Ghent Active Guides

The Ghent Active Guides let you discover Ghent in a different way. Would you like to get to know Ghent in an active and unique way? Then take your paddle or tie your running shoes tightly. Ghent Active Guides will travel with your team by kayak on the canals or jog between Ghent's oases.

Can it be different on the water?

From a vantage point on the water you see Ghent differently. While paddling and floating for 2.5 hours, we show you how water made Ghent, and also shapes its future today. At every stop you form a raft together. Floating comfortably, you will receive an explanation from a professional guide. The Ghent Active Guides take you along the medieval harbor and the impressive library. And float along locks and sewers to the heart of the city.

Mix of sports and culture

Does your team dare to take a running tour? The Ghent Active Guides take you to places where others don't - and as you walk, you see more in one tour. They show you Ghent beyond the clichés, and tell you stories about the past and today. The Ghent Active Guides mapped out a route of 8 or 11 km or are happy to adapt to your request.

For every level

You can start and stop at different places in the city. You kayak or walk in a group of 12 people. The two guides can therefore take 24 people per trip. Furthermore, you don't have to be an athlete to take the tours: we always adjust the level to the participants. Conviviality is central in this experience.
