5.00The 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!

3.00Disorganized 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.

4.00I 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.
The Best of the Beat of Bruges!

4.00Tour was fantastic! However, when a few people didn't show up on time, we lost 20 minutes of tour time waiting for them instead of leaving. The tour operators should have waited no more than 5 minutes before leaving. The rest if us shouldn't have lost 20 minutes of our tour time because others can't show up at the allotted departure time.
It was a great tour....

5.00It was a great tour. Guide was very informative. Lots of walking over cobblestones which made it hard for our one person who had a walker but guide was mindful of this
Okay experience.

3.00Not enough radio receivers for the group to hear to tour leader. A few did not work and a few had dead batteries. We left the cruise terminal late due to waiting for late passengers. Which then left the rest of the tour a bit rushed. To her felt very disorganized. The radio receivers could have been distributed on the bus on the way to the starting point as opposed to once we exited the bus. It would have saved the time. The cheerleader had a lot of knowledge though at times seemed to get frustrated with the guests. And made the mistake of voicing some of her concerns while she was mic'd up. Overall would have given the tour a c plus.

5.00Bruge is a city designed for walking! Our door guide was very informative and kept a very easy pace for the group that included kids to older adults...everyone could participate. There was time enough to go off on your own for whatever you wanted and directions were very clear on where to meet back to get to the bus. Great excurison!
Not worth it

2.00Disorganized and too expensive for what’s included. Guides acted as if this was the first time they’d dealt with a group-everything from keeping a count to handing out headphones was a challenge. Commentary was disjointed and difficult to understand.
