Helga 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

We 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.

Sam, 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.

First time in Bruges on shore excursion from cruise shp. Loved the town with all the charms of Belgium without big city hassles. This walking tour was perfect intro and coverage of historic center's maze-like streets and beautiful courtyards. Our tour only had 5 people which made for an intimate and nimble experience compared to the much larger groups we saw walking around. Tour guide Louie was such a fun character, even hung out with us after the tour to share his obvious passion for his hometown. Please note: this isn't a food tour (only 1 small chocolate and 1/2 pt of beer offered), could use an additional bathroom stop for a 3 and 1/2 hour tour, and it's so informative, might be boring for kids.
Great tour

Awesome experience! I had a great time, the tour guide was extremely knowledgeable and friendly. When booking, 3 and a half hours seemed like it would be a long time, but it flew by and was worth the time.
