Discover Flanders’ two most enchanting cities and follow your guide on his walking tour way back in time! We take you to Ghent. We visit Saint-Bavo’s Cathedral, home to the world-famous Mystic Lamb painting (optional) and walk along the Castle of the Counts of Flanders, the picturesque medieval harbor and many more highlights.

In Bruges, after lunch you enjoy the view of the peaceful Lake of Love and the picturesque Beguinage. Your guide will explain the stories and secrets behind the city’s history from the Viking period until the end of the Middle Ages. You see literally ‘all’ highlights of Bruges: the Basilica of the Holly blood of Jesus, the Belfry tower, our Lady’s Church, Saint John’s hospital etc. You even have the option to enjoy a pleasant boat trip along the narrow canals, entirely organized by your guide.

Do not forget your comfortable shoes to brave the cobbled streets!

Annoying!

Not happy with the merger of 2 groups. We paid for an English tour and they added a Spanish tour to our group. The guide was excellent but the back and forth between English and Spanish was more than annoying.
Great if your bilingual

The bus itself was good and the instructions and recommendations very good also. Big turn off for us was we booked an English tour but didn't realise until we went that it was English and Spanish meaning half the time we had to hear repeat information in Spanish. It was very frustrating when we walked past a monument spoken about in Spanish and then once past it repeated the same information in English. I have requested a refund and raised my concerns but again have heard nothing from the company. Personally I wouldn't go back on this tour and just get the train to the location as the the Spanish sections of the tour put us off doing the full walking tour in Bruges
Overrated cities, Fantastic Guide!

Great way to spend the day, although the dual language tour gets a bit old. We understood it was an English speaking tour, not dual language so lots of time spent listening to things you didn’t understand. Guide was good and knowledgeable

Doing this tour was the best idea we had while visiting Brussels. Sergio was amazing! We didn't realize it was a bilingual tour (Spanish & English), at first we were not sure about it, but it ended up being great. He was amazing doing the tour in both languages.. I was super impressed (he even explained a few things in French to some in our group). Bruges and Ghent are beautiful. Food was great too! We did the boat tour (costs extra), but it was so worth it! If you only have a few days in Brussels, taking this tour is a good way to see 2 beautiful cities in 1 day.
