5.00We did the Main Monuments of Medieval Bruges (inc Chocolate and €3 discount boats) tour with Victoria and her dog, Remi. It was a great tour that showed us all the sights, backed up by Victoria’s extensive knowledge, honesty and humour. She is passionate about ‘her’ Bruges and made it come alive for everyone on the tour. We all appreciated her suggestions about things to see and do. Highly recommended
Mariana is a great guide, she explained everything perfectly and in a very entertaining way

5.00Helga was a fantastic guide. We had some wind and rain, but she found sheltered areas where we could gather and hear information about the sites we visited. She was very knowledgeable and had fun sharing about the history of her city. Our group was engaged with her and the whole experience. We ended up lingering at the brewery getting to know each other better. We were from different countries, but Helga brought us all together with her stories!
Unmissable

5.00We had a fantastic time in charge of our guide, Mauricio, who explained in detail (and in a very entertaining way, very clear and in Spanish) about the history of Bruges. The rainy weather was no impediment to embarking on the tour. We strolled through the main streets and alleys, learned about the history of the city, beer and had a delicious (free) tasting in a chocolate shop. Mauricio was very friendly and also took pictures of us. We highly recommend it. Unmissable!!!
Excellent tour. Highly recommend it.

5.00Sam, our tour guide was great. He provided a lot of information in an easy, and sometimes humorous, understandable way. I would highly recommend this tour, especially, when you first arrive in Bruges.
