Hi guys! This was amazing! Loved the graffiti lane and the views from the belfry - I really have to try and conquer my fear of heights! Really liked the travel info too. Great stuff! You know, we lived in Mons for 3 years. We know Belgium very well (obviously), but we only went to Gent a couple of times and never really explored it. Looking forward to the rest of your videos from this visit. Hope you're better. Take care, Ellie and Martyn xx

[@OutandaboutwithAndy]

Fantastic tour of Ghent. Great architecture but I was quite taken with the toy museum and the graffiti alley which seems a great idea to deter unwanted graffiti elsewhere. Definitely an underrated place to visit.

[@PinnedonPlaces]

Glad you enjoyed it Andy, it's just such a vibrant and interesting place. Full of excitement at each turn. Thank you kindly for watching commenting and overall for being awesome!

[@robodrone5662]

We enjoyed seeing how you got to Ghent from where you live. Always wanted to take the train though the tunnel. Enjoyed your exploration though this beautiful city too. The "Trollekelder" looked like a fun place! Beautiful Cathedral and we'll be looking forward to the tour. Gravensteen Castle was stunning and are looking forward to hearing about the drunken final siege! Beautiful quick tour and we're looking forward to more!

Oh wow Dave, that sounds amazing!! Bruges will be so romantic and fun for you both to enjoy! Looking forward to hearing all about it! x

[@ms.kayak7seas]

Happy Valentine's Day, Alessa! I miss a train trip. Excited to looking at the picturesque views through a large glass window Nice tips about 48hr-pass for the travel that PPL plan for Wow New and Old.... wow, maybe the weather??? the appearance of this castle 6:23 is intimidating..hahah well maintained...architecture is amazing haha I will spend quite time at Friday Market Square..hahah Not only history and architecture, but also shopping???? This square offers much...although, fewer PPL than I anticipated. It seems so exciting to see all exhibition at Belfry 9:11 Indeed the panoramas views take my breath away...wowowo I would love to take a boat tour... I cannot wait for your future films Safe trip no wonder I have not seen you hosting premiere..you are filming on vacation hahahah

[@MagentaOtterTravels]

Teletubbies!!!! Yay! ❤

[@MagentaOtterTravels]

Wait, where were the waffles 🧇?!?!

[@PinnedonPlaces]

Oh we had PLENTY. Just never filmed them :( missed a trick really haha!

[@MagentaOtterTravels]

@@PinnedonPlaces well, I'm disappointed, but I will give you a second chance! Lol NEXT TIME!

[@PinnedonPlaces]

🧇 🧇 you're on!!! Heheh

[@somewhatmesmerized]

Every time you seem about to show us a beautiful view from high up, you abruptly change clips. Meanwhile you spend a lot of time on fairly nondescript things

[@PinnedonPlaces]

That's fair enough, we have actually released full walking tour videos on the cathedral, the belfry (with those awesome views) and gravensteen castle 🏰 in this it was just an overview of our 48 hours spent in ghent, but appreciate your comments and your time watching and hope you'll watch something else of ours
