5.00The trip was punctual, well organized, fact filled and thoroughly enjoyable. Plenty of free time to explore on your own. Ian is a talented guide who is passionate about his work. Pete, our driver, kept us safe and on time. Long ride but worth it. Bring snacks and drinks for the ride.
Great tour

5.00Mr G is an amazing guide who gave us a lot of historical context and updates about Bruges, the various sites and suggested a place where we could first taste the pralines before buying them. We even ate at a restaurant of his recommendation and it was v good (had a rabbit dish there). The best pictures we took were on our way back as the crowds had thinned n most were exhausted! In the morning, the place is v crowded with everyone trying to secure the best spots for pics and videos. But enjoy the historic places. It's small and compact. Interesting that almost all the restaurants had the same price for the same dish! But the places in the back lanes are less crowded! There is a water fountain close to the choclate museum. You will need lots of water to keep yourself hydrated. Because the bus is non-stop to Bruges, they have a toilet on the bus. The canals are v pretty with the flowers, some have swans but most stores look similar, sell almost identical stuff. It's worth an entire day
