The Storytelling Tour Bruges, led by the dynamic Steve, was an absolute hit, even for my teenager, who was engaged and happy throughout. Steve's talent for involving everyone made the tour exceptionally interesting and far from boring. His storytelling brought Bruges' history to life in a way that captivated all ages. A must-do for families, this tour offers a fascinating and interactive way to explore the city. Highly recommended for a memorable and inclusive experience!

Fantastic. Fun. We had a great guide who was totally knowledgeable and a total character. The payment is in tips. Best €20 for a tour I have paid. Would have given her more if I had it on me.

Pascale gave us a wonderful tour, despite Brugges being heaving on the Easter weekend! We loved exploring Brugge and hearing all the stories of it's past. We were kept entertained and informed by an excellent guide. Really appreciated the food tips at the end of the tour (waffles in the square and greek pittas - both were excellent!) Thanks so much!
