Confirm it's an English tour
Sandra_B
, Apr 2022
Tour/boat driver asked who needed English tour and several of us raised our hand but he said that will be too hard for me. So he spoke French 98% of the time and the 2% in English was mostly negative comments. Don't order tickets early as weather may be cold and rainy and you won't want to go. But if you buy tickets confirm it's an English tour not French.
Wonderful!

Hele leuke boottrip.
Ik heb op 20 maart een boottocht gemaakt. Online een ticket gekocht. Dit ging heel gemakkelijk. Ik kon alleen geen vertrek tijd vinden op de site.. Dus zijn wij naar het verzamelpunt gegaan. En de boot zou over 10 minuten vertrekken. Dus dit was goed te doen.
De schipper is ook de gids, hij vertelde leuke dingen over de stad Gent. Dit doet hij zowel in het Nederlands, Frans of Engels.
Leuke boottocht om de oude stad Gent te ontdekken.
Super beau, mais on entendais pas grand chose

Muy buena experiencia. Fuimos el 31 diciembre porque el día de año nuevo no había plazas. Paseo muy agradable por los canales y el guía nos explicó muchas cosas que de otra forma no sabríamos. El tour fue en inglés y francés pero intentó hablar un poco en castellano te ofrecen guía en papel en español.
Superbe promenade en bateau et guide très intéressant

Nous avons beaucoup apprécié cette promenade en bateau. Le guide, très sympathique parlait plusieurs langues et ses informations sur l'histoire de la ville étaient très intéressantes. Cette visite est un excellent avant-goût de la ville à faire de préférence en début de séjour pour pouvoir explorer, par la suite, les monuments et quartiers présentés. Un grand merci
We perform checks on reviews
You can only submit a review or rating of an experience to Viator if you were the person who made the booking through Viator. Before publication, each review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information for each of the following criteria: who, what, how, and when. If the system detects something that contradicts our publication criteria, the review is not published. When the system detects a problem with a review, it may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site. In some cases, we will also send you an email asking you to validate your review before it is published. All you need to do is click on the link provided in the email. After publication, our team checks each review reported to it as not meeting our publication criteria. Tripadvisor reviews that appear on the Viator site are subject to the same checks and moderation processes as set out above. It is not necessary to have booked an experience through Viator (or Tripadvisor) to submit a review of an experience to the Tripadvisor site.

Sorting, ranking, and search results
Viator wants to make your searches as relevant as possible. That’s why we offer many ways to help you find the right experiences for you.
On some pages, you can select how to sort the results we display and also use filter options to see only those search results that meet your chosen preferences. You’ll see explanations of what those sort options mean when you select them.
You’ll see some experiences with a “Promoted” badge, which means that the operators of those experiences have agreed to pay Viator more to have their experience highlighted.
If you see an Experience Award Winner label, the award is based on average review ratings, share of bookings with a review, and number of bookings through Viator over a 12-month period.
The importance of any one factor over any other in a sort order varies, and the balance is constantly being reviewed and adjusted. We’re always updating our systems and testing new ways to refine and improve your results to make them as relevant as possible to meet your needs.
