We’ve done walking tours all over the world from New York to Istanbul and this was my favourite, even my restless 18 year old loved it. Joost was extremely knowledgable, as a historian he was able add details that brought the tour to life. He was funny, his English was excellent and he had a great voice which projected well. We always do a walking tour on the first day or arriving somewhere so we get the local view of where to go and where not to go. He was fantastic, and even gave us tips for Ghent. He does other tours as well, so ask him about them. We’re a bit sad we won’t be here to do a Blue Bike tour with him, but I might come back. It was that good!

We have been on many walking tours of cities and Joost’s was absolutely the best! Great historical stories but entertaining the whole time. We felt like we really knew Bruges at the end. He has a clear passion for and pride in his home, being born and raised here. Highly recommend the tour, especially with Joost!

Joost did a fantastic job introducing us to Bruges with fun facts (and artefacts) and inspiring stories. We went on another much more expensive tour the day after and missed Joost’ insights and credible stories from a lifetime in Bruges.
