I had an incredible journey courtesy of a travel package I arranged through Tratoli. My guide, Joris, provided an exceptional tour by guiding me to breathtaking secret spots popular among the native community.

His talent in photography beautifully preserved many precious moments from the trip. I wholeheartedly recommend this bespoke adventure—it truly delivered value for money.

Embarking on the expertly led English linguistic escapade I booked through Tratoli, I was thoroughly impressed by the knowledge and proficiency of our guides; they were simply top-notch. Initially, I had to phone in to finalize my reservation upon noticing the website didn’t clarify real-time availability for last-minute bookings. A friendly note for Tratoli: enhancing the site with prompts to call for bookings within 3 hours of departure would be incredibly helpful. Navigating to the rendezvous could have been smoother. A visual aid on the website, like a photo of the meeting site, would greatly alleviate confusion caused by the intricate numbering at the plaza. Our journey included an eclectic trio of taverns, each exuding its own charm. The adventure kicked off at a historic edifice near the canal, once a bustling meat market. Next, we uncovered a gem of a Scottish whiskey bar, boasting an extensive collection of whiskeys and Belgian beers hidden away from the typical tourist path. Our final stop was a grand visit to Gent's most venerable hotel, whose grandeur is best narrated through photographs. The tour was a deep dive into Belgian brewing heritage, enlightening us about the sophisticated craft behind the plethora of beer varieties. The tasting was an enlightening finale—eight distinctive beers introduced, each a testimony to the diversity of brewing techniques. This experience refined my beer palate, guiding me to my preferred tastes. For those keen on savoring Belgium's legendary brews and enriching their historical palette, I cannot recommend this tour enough. It's an absolute must-try experience, thoughtfully curated by Tratoli.
