We tried to get in touch with the guide to understand how long the tour was and if one in our group could join in half way. She needed to because of an injury. We did not get an answer. In the end we cancelled.

Our visit to Bruges was definitely enhanced by taking this tour. Julian was both informative and entertaining as we walked through the beautiful streets of Bruges. We didn't initially sign up for the boat tour, but added it later and are glad that we did. It was a great way to see some of the same buildings from a different perspective.
Craig_H
The wonderful history shared by Mae at different areas in Brugge.
Everything was explained with important dates and timelines, very knowledgeable guide.

Our ship was not able to dock in Zeebrugge due to bad weather. Called Viator and the company who is doing the walking tour and requested a refund. Both denied. Viator told me to call the company requesting refund and the company said Viator should refund . In tge end neither did anything. Very very disappointed in the service.

Julian was an excellent guide. Very knowledge and passionate in the history of Brugge. We enjoyed our walking tour and his recommendations for shopping and restaurants. Camiel was Julian’s protege and he was very helpful as well. Another successful Viator tour.

We found the tour very boring - too much of information said in an uninteresting way, we weren’t taken to the chocolate shop and a few other photo spots as mentioned in the itinerary.
Lynette_L
The walking tour was excellent and covered all the main sites of the city. The guide was very knowledgeable and made the tour interesting. Unfortunately, it was pouring with rain and sometimes it was hard to hear him. Nevertheless, I was really pleased I went and would recommend it.

The direction provided by Viator took us to the wrong location and then they refused to provide a refund. Trying to contact the tour company by phone connected me to a voice message in Flemish which then disconnected. You are better off using a different tour company then Viator they will not support you.

Our guide Louis was extremely knowledgeable of the history and the beautiful buildings in Bruges. He made the tour very interesting with his stories and his humor. The walking tour is a great way to experience the city. But it is a LOT of walking (hence the name!).

Knowledgeable guide, however it would have been better to tour with a guide who spoke better English
