Our guide Jamal was so fun, personable and knowledgeable about the history of Belgium and especially Bruges. We could not have been more impressed with how much we learned on our 3 hour tour!! He is also so sweet, it was our honeymoon in Bruges and he took picture of us at various sites to send to us later, which we are anxiously awaiting! Definitely the best guided tour we've ever been on!
