4.00It was a very good way of sampling Brugge and learning facts we wouldn’t have known. Our tour guide Fabienne was very knowledgeable and a real character! The only reason for not giving 5 stars is there was no wireless vox provided.
A must-have for a weekend in Bruges.

5.00We had an excellent city guide in Tina. With great love and enthusiasm, she quickly made Bruges our Bruges. The integrated boat trip, in which she also participated, was fantastic. A highlight of our Bruges weekend, especially in beautiful weather.

5.00The tour guide was passionate and knowledgeable. He shared facts and information about the city and useful tips for the rest of our time in Bruges. The walking element of the tour was in two parts, with the boat trip part way through. This worked very well. The trip on the canal was also very enjoyable
Absolute recommendation ❤️

5.00Great tour with a very good guide; the tour of the old town was very pleasant and informative, special mention to our guide Manuel.
Best tour guide ever, "Michel," an incredibly wonderful city. There is so much to see, so much to look at and discover.

5.00Incredibly wonderful city. Absolutely worth seeing on foot and/or on the water. We were inspired by the show "Wunderschön" and saw and did everything that was shown there. Our tour guide was very well-informed, funny, and lively, even though he had a cold/was hoarse. He expertly guided us through Bruges in 3 1/2 hours (2 1/5 hours were indicated), something we have never experienced before. It was not boring, well-balanced, simply top-notch 😘.
Perfect
