Thank you for including us in your inauguration "Belgian Beer tour".
Much fun and very informative.

- Sour Red Ales of brouwerij Verhaeghe
- Herbal beers of brouwerij Gruut and the beer history tour of Ghent

All were unique. All were informative and interesting. A comprehensive overview of brewing in Belgium.
And of course we had the joy of your hospitality as we cruised through the country side.
A good time!

Olga and Maurits, We just want to thank you for opening the door to the De 4 Vaargetijden for us. The views from the bow were spectacular especially the large barges passing by and of course the different draw bridges and water locks. The food and beer was also excellent. Both of us will have fond memories of this trip through Belgium. Thank you both!!

Thank you both for sharing your home, lives, culture, cuisine and country with us! From the lively and lovely Ghent, the historical center of Bruges and the posh neighbourhoods...we fount architectural treasures spanning hundreds of years. Pastries and culinary treats from Olga, biking through the countryside and visiting museums seated in history made for a one-of-a-kind experience rich in so many ways. De 4 Vaargetijden is such a wonderful way to immerse yourself in Belgium.

Wenn Ihr wüsstet, wie oft wir an unsere abenteuerlichen ‚Kreuzfahrten‘ auf belgischen und flandrischen Gewässern zurückdenken, die wir anno 2002 und 2003 dank Euch auf erholsame Weise erkunden durften. In solchen Momenten lassen wir mit leiser Wehmut schönste Erinnerungen an unbeschwerte und fröhliche Stunden des Beisammenseins auf Eurer einzigartigen ‚De 4 Vaargetijden“ in uns aufleben. Jürg und ich erzählen einander immer wieder von den traumhaften Ferientagen und von Olgas liebevoll zubereiteten belgischen Köstlichkeiten, die wir mit Euch zusammen geniessen durften.

Van deze gelegenheid wil ik gebruik maken om jullie nog eens te bedanken voor de FANTASTISCHE week vakantie. Want vakantie was het wel degelijk. Wij hebben zalig genoten van ALLES: onthaal, service, info, het lekkere eten, de tussendoortjes, de babbels, de hartelijkheid, gezelligheid, ... om er maar enkele te noemen. Ook het weer was ons geweldig gunstig gestemd, maar ik ben er van overtuigd dat het zelfs bij minder goed weer ook zalig kan zijn tijdens zo'n vaarvakantie met jullie. De persoonlijke toets die jullie er aan geven is dé surplus. IK GENIET NOG ALLE DAGEN NA! En ik denk elke dag met heimwee terug aan die vaarvakantie. Ons zie je zeker nog terug op jullie 4 vaargetijden!

Well even though the weather was not nice, I enjoyed both the company and the excellent activities and meals.

Well even though the weather was not nice, I enjoyed both the company and the excellent activities and meals.

Wel niettegenstaande het weer dat wij kregen, was ik heel blij met het gezelschap en de leuke vaar- en fietstochten en de aangename maaltijden !

Tot een volgende gelegenheid !

Olga en Maurits het was weer FANTASTISCH. We hebben genoten van de reis, het gezelschap en van jullie onovertrefbaar gastvrouw en gastheerschap.
Gaan ongetwijfeld nog eens mee.
