Our guide was great and the tour was a good mix of walking and boat tour. We learnt a lot and it was lovely to have a small, friendly group.

Fabienne was an amazing guide. I absolutely loved the personal touches she added to the tour. She was well informed, did her best to relate to everyone on the tour, and had some great stories and jokes. I really enjoyed the "hidden secrets" aspect of her tour, something you really only get from a lifelong resident of the city. I highly recommend this tour.

We really enjoyed our visit to Bruges. Our guide, Norbert, showed us around beautiful historic buildings with expert explanations in English. It was a very pleasant and interesting walk. The boat trip on the canals was awesome and interesting. Norbert was a very competent, friendly and helpful guide, highly recommend when visiting Bruges!

We hit the tour guide jackpot with Fabian. She was the best tour guide we have ever had! Her enthusiasm and passion for the history and city of Bruges was palpable. She was so knowledgeable and took time to share maps and tips throughout the city. The boat tour and chocolate tasting were only a bonus. She had a collection of photos and even a sample her own grandmothers lace she used when explaining sites. Her English was excellent and had an umbrella to mark herself when crowds got busy. We could have followed Fabian through the city all day.

Fabiane was a fabulous Guide! Her positive energy with so much local knowledge of her hometown was infectious. She took extra time to ensure everyone had all they needed on the rest of their time spent in Brugge. Would love another tour with her on day. Recommend her to friends and family. Best tour ever.

Norbert was a terrific, knowledgeable guide. People in Bruges very helpful. Walk from train station to meeting place was farther than expected. Prepare for walking on cobblestones.
