Experience the magic of Bruges on a private day trip from Paris, now with a private guide accompanying you throughout the day. Your personal driver will meet you at your hotel for a comfortable ride to Belgium. Upon arrival, your guide will lead you on a walking tour through Bruges’ UNESCO-listed center: admire Market Square with the Belfry Tower, explore Burg Square with the Basilica of the Holy Blood, and stroll through the peaceful Beguinage. Travelers who wish can climb the 366 steps of the Belfry for panoramic views of the city (optional, no elevator, admission not included).
A 30-minute canal cruise reveals Bruges’ romantic waterways — the “Venice of the North.” Please note: the cruise operates March–mid-November and may be replaced by a walking route in winter or bad weather.

If you want to experience the full essence of Bruges in one perfect day, book this tour. The private guide accompanying us from start to finish made all the difference. He navigated the charming alleys with ease, sharing secrets we'd never find in a guidebook. The walking tour covered all the must-sees, and the optional Belfry climb is a must for the brave—the panoramic view is breathtaking. The canal cruise felt like gliding through a painting. After a delicious lunch (we had a great recommendation from our guide), we visited the Choco-Story Museum. Learning about chocolate's history followed by tasting was a delightful, sensorial journey. The entire day felt luxurious, personalized, and deeply satisfying.

This tour is the gold standard for private day trips. The convenience of being collected at our Paris hotel cannot be overstated. Our driver was professional, and the journey passed quickly. In Bruges, our guide was the star—his deep knowledge and engaging manner made the medieval streets speak. The itinerary perfectly balanced iconic sights (the Belfry views were worth every step!) with serene moments in the Beguinage. The canal cruise was the romantic highlight we hoped for. For the afternoon, we opted for the Beer Experience, which was both fun and educational, offering a fantastic taste of Belgian culture. An impeccably organized, full-day immersion into Belgian charm.

This tour was an absolute dream. From the seamless hotel pick-up in Paris to our return in the evening, every detail was handled flawlessly. The journey in the comfortable private vehicle was relaxing, and upon arrival, our private guide truly made the day magical. She wasn't just informative; she was a passionate storyteller who brought the history of Market Square, Burg Square, and the serene Beguinage to life. The canal cruise (it was in season) was a quintessential Bruges experience, offering new, beautiful perspectives. We chose the Choco-Story Museum, and the tastings were divine—a sweet, perfect ending to the walking tour. This is the definitive, stress-free way to discover the enchanting "Venice of the North."

If you're hesitating – don't! This trip is worth it. Everything went like clockwork: from the driver's call in the morning to the return to the hotel. Bruges is unbelievably photogenic! Every shot is like a postcard. A special shout-out to the guide – the stories were lively and interesting, not just dry facts. The Basilica of the Holy Blood is a place with an amazing atmosphere. We didn't risk climbing the tower, but we went on the canal cruise – lovely! We chose the beer museum – very educational and fun, the beer was great. The only thing, I wish we had a bit more free time to just sit in a cafe on the square. But overall – a 10/10 day!

We wanted to break up the Parisian hustle with something different – and we didn't go wrong with Bruges! The trip was impeccably organized. The driver was super polite and dropped us right at the start of the tour. Walking through Bruges is a delight: the bustling Market Square and then the quiet, peaceful Beguinage... Such a contrast! We managed to climb the bell tower – it was worth it, just a warning, the stairs are narrow and steep! The boat trip was very romantic. And afterwards, we went to the Beer Experience – wow! Three types of Belgian beer, each with its own story. We returned to Paris tired but incredibly happy.

It was absolutely magical! A personal driver is a game-changer – no hassle with parking or group gatherings. The journey flew by. And Bruges itself... It's a fairy-tale town! Gingerbread houses, canals, little bridges... Our guide gave such a great tour that we fell in love with every nook and cranny. You must climb the Belfry! 366 steps are a challenge, of course, but the view from the top is breathtaking! The boat trip on the canals is a must-do; we saw the city from a completely different angle. And after lunch, we chose the chocolate museum... It was heaven! So many tastings, yum... Definitely one of our best days in Europe!
