5.00Wonderful wonderful experience.. right from start to finish they were perfect and in the end Harris and Angie who were our guides even took us to the Atomium as a surprise. Please go with these guys if you want to do Bruges.
City is beautiful. Excess travel time not communicated

4.00The weather was absolutely perfect. Not a cloud in the sky and 20 Celsius. Unfortunately our bus had to stop to drop a tour group off in Gent and then later to pick them up on the way back to Brussels. As a result of traffic this added about 1.5 hours to our time in the bus. No additional information was provided in this time. No noteworthy sites were on the detour. While there can always be delays, this was a „planned“ delay not communicated in advance which cut into our evening schedule. Our guides English could have been better. The city itself is absolutely beautiful and worth a visit!
Bruges is beautiful but...

4.00Bruges is beautiful but we felt that the time allocated was a bit long…could be shortened by at least 30 mins if not more.
Good value tour

4.00This was a great way to spend a day from Brussels. Pablo was a great guide, but the tour organization could have been better. Combining the different Bruges and Ghent tours in a single bus created unnecessary confusion and added extra driving time.

4.00A very nice day, with a knowledgeable guide in Pablo. I loved Bruges, the boat ride is a must! There was an issue with a bus so our day was longer by a couple of hours otherwise all good.

3.00After 2 hours showing the Bruges, the tour guide asked us to go to meeting point & wait for the rest! We waited for 3 hours for him to show up. The bus deriver did not allow us to get into the bus. Until he shows. The waiting time was long & extremely cold! It suddenly got cold & unbearable.
Great day trip for the price

5.00I love a good day trip and this one did not disappoint. Antonio our guide was extremely knowledgeable about the history of the city as well as Belgium in general. We got lots of side history lessons which were very interesting. The city itself was very quaint in some areas with lots of small chocolate shops and other artisan stores, and more modern than others (e.g shopping district) but all set in historic buildings. There were lots of things to see and explore. I love that we got a guided tour and then we’re able to spend several hours on our own exploring. I would say if I could do it again I would spend more time in the section that had the smaller artisan shops and less time walking around the section that had more modern stores (eg like stores you would find in a mall). There are several spots that are very pretty for pictures, and several quiet spots to sit if you want to slow down a bit. We left and returned to the city on time (there was no traffic on our experience day Saturday, so that might differ on other days potentially). For the price is experience was above and beyond.
Great day out in Bruges

5.00Very easy to book with clear instructions for the meeting point. Big area for meeting the guides with a short walk to the coach. Easy journey with lots of information shared. Sabina was a great tour guide for the whole day and provided us with lots of tips, including places to eat in Bruges.
