4.00Well Organized. Good Communication. Blanca kept group informed about what to expect and gave few tips for the sites. It would be good to include few more stops for the trip as it felt it got done sooner than we were expecting, We were surprised that Boat trip was included in price, pls mention it in your details. It doesn’t say it during booking process. Good Sales pitch. Thanks

5.00Very good overview of Bruges with time to do individual experiences. The guide gave us great tips. We wound up doing the canal ride and tower climb and had a great typical Flemish meal.

5.00Great day trip to Bruges from Brussels. Easy to find meeting point for bus ride. Great introduction to the town and history of Bruges with Antonio. Good recommendations for lunch and places to visit during our free time. Could easily have spent several days there, but enjoyed the time we had. Thanks for making it easy, convenient, and affordable.
Great but long tour!

5.00Great tour and Antonio was very informative. Bruges is a beautiful city and a must see. The 4 hours of time to visit the city on our own may be fine for some people but seemed a little too long for us and another couple we spoke with. We did enjoy waffles at Otto Waffle Atelier and Bruges Dot beer at the De Halve Mann Brewery. It is the oldest brewery in Bruges. A map would have been helpful with clear directions on how to get back to the meeting point since it is easy to get lost. All in all, we enjoyed the tour very much.

5.00Mark your start/meeting place in Google map to guide you back from city center. It will take 20 to 30 minutes if you are not loss.
Basically, just a bus ride to and from

3.00It was basically just a bus ride to Burges and back… Our tour guy, who was nice, only gave us about an hour tour… We really didn’t learn that much about the city… It would’ve been much cheaper just to take a bus and tour on our own…
Exciting day at Brugge

5.00The tour itself was about 2 hours long with our guide Julien who was very knowledgeable and friendly. We then had about 4 hours of free time to ourselves which was the main reason I chose this tour over others. We were able to hit all the spots we wanted to go to before meeting back at the bus. A friend of mine described Bruges as the Disneyland of Europe and I’d say I’d agree. It is VERY crowded and things are more expensive than Brussels so keep that in mind for what you plan to do. We did not do the boat ride but others in our group did and seemed to have enjoyed it.
