    If you're visiting Bruges, the canal tour is a must do, and I'm grateful to the staff for arrange tickets and scheduling for us. We avoided the lineups because our driver knew which dock was least busy. The crew was extremely pleasant, and the vehicle was pristine. It is ideal for anyone wants to visit bruges.

    Went with a couple of friends and had a really easygoing time. Our guide, Elena, explained the history in a simple way and didn’t overload us with details. We also had time to stop and look around when something caught our attention.

    David was an absolute tour guide! My daughter and I absolutely loved our unique and fantastic ride in Bruges. Our guide did an excellent job telling the story of Bruges, including stories about the history l, architecture, old beer shops, and chocolate street based on what we were most interested in.

    Did the tour with friends and yeah, some areas were packed, especially near the main squares and canals. The vibe is still great though. Old building everywhere, little bridges, and chocolate shops. It was busy and fun day, Bruges is popular for a reason.

    The guide was super cool and gave us fun stories about Bruges’ past. The city had such cozy energy, and everything looked picture-perfect. The canal cruise was calm and romantic, with incredible views from the water. Honestly, I didn’t want to go back to the ship!

    Disorganized start to the tour shortened the free time that was to be made available ... we skipped the canal cruise in order to have a full 2 hours to shop and eat. The guide was also very critical of the many tourist and tourist businesses.

    I thought the tour guide was very knowledgeable about everything we were seeing in Burges. Like so many tours you feel a bit rushed. We could have used a little more time to visit the town. They were on schedule picking us up from cruise ship and got us back in plenty of time.

    This tour was perfect! It showed a bit of everything! Our guide was incredible and I hate that I can’t remember her name! She grew up in Bruges and had so much knowledge! We had plenty of walking, a canal cruise and the history !!!! Amazing!
