5.00A very good tour. Ian the guide and Richard the driver were amazing. Ian was enthusiastic and very knowledgeable - you could tell he loved his job. It is a long bus ride - 3+ hours - but there is plenty of time to enjoy beautiful Bruges.

4.00This was a good tour. The bus ride was 3 hours. Luka, our tour guide was okay. He really did not give us much information on the trip to Brugge during this 3-hour trip. When we did arrive, we were to have an hour guided tour of Brugge. However, he walked really fast during this tour. This might be due to how crowded it was but nevertheless it was a little disappointing. Brugge, itself was really good for seeing the churches, all the chocolate shoppes, restaurants and shopping. But it was really, really crowded. I would do this tour again because there is so much to see but not enough time to get it all in. The bus was very comfortable, no bathroom break (but one is on the bus if you want to use. There were water, soft drinks and beer available for purchase on board. Please bring snacks if you get hungry and you much purchase your own food in Brugge it is not provided on this tour, pretty much just transportation from Amsterdam to Brugge.

5.00Excellent day trip. Ian gave wonderful information about the Netherlands, Belgium, Bruge, and many other things with humor and intelligence in two languages. His restaurant and chocolatier recommendations were helpful. The introductory walking tour was informative and well-paced. If you don’t have some sights planned on your own you might feel like the free time is too much. Do some research. Have a plan.
Bruges is worth the long...

5.00Bruges is worth the long drive, which flew by because you’re driving through a foreign country—much to see.
