Informative overview of the history of Brugge while walking through a historical fairy tale like landscape.

Walking tour of Bruges was very informative and interesting. Our guide spoke excellent English and was very knowledgeable about the history and architecture of the City. Would highly recommend.

Kathy_B

Our guide Guido was wonderful. His knowledge of history and fun trivia about Bruges was amazing. This is an excellent tour to understand Bruges.

Lita_L

The tour was informative and Pascale was a wonderful guide, an easy and relaxed personality and made our 2 1/2 hr tour enjoyable. Thank you.

This is private so only your group. Not necessary. $150 per person is way too much for a 2 hour stroll through the city and then a 30 minute boat ride at the end. Guide was good and we learned some interesting stuff, but my 18 year old and 14 year old got bored quickly. We had to book this one as the other one that is much cheaper that is the group option was booked for the time we wanted. Enjoyed tour but again it was overpriced for what we got.

Our guide was knowledgeable and great. Her English was really good too. Our tour was jam packed! We really enjoyed our time in Bruges.

We had a wonderful guide, Margaret. We walked and viewed many beautiful places. She avoided the highest tourist areas and showed us a few secrets. Took us to her favorite chocolate store with traditional candies. Enjoyed lunch together. Opted not to do boats as so crowded. Loved this introduction to Bruges and we know we want to return and see more of Belgium.

Two problems, one major, one less so: 1. Werner was very nice, but tours are slotted for a particular time -- most people have schedules, even on vacation -- and this one only met it because I asked for it to end. We were supposed to get a 90 min. tour and 30 min. boat ride. After two hours, 15 minutes, I asked when the tour was going to end. Werner said, "I only have about 30 more minutes or so." That would have put the total tour at 3:15 (including the canal boat ride). The tour was good, but too discursive and scattered: too much information unrelated to Bruges, Belgium, or the Middle Ages. If we'd stayed on topic (and on time), it would have been a better tour. 2. The tour charged &300+ for a "private tour." It wasn't private. If we'd wanted a group, we could've paid less than a 1/4 of what was charged.......
