5.00We had such a wonderful time seeing all the historical sights of Bruges! The bikes were very comfortable, and the tour covered so much of the town while still giving plenty of time to stop, absorb the history and ask questions. Such a perfect way to see the city with the most friendly and knowledgeable guide!
Absolutely worth it!

5.00We booked the tour after reading online reviews. The tour exceeded our expectations. It is a great way to orientate yourself with Bruges. Our guide was Mercédes, a true local with some interesting connections with the city. We had adults and children in our group, but it fascinated us all. They had bikes and helmets for all sizes including our 7 year old. The pace was perfect, we were rewarded with a delicious chocolate half way round and a warming cup of hot chocolate at the end. Following the tour we received a message with loads of local tips for restaurants etc. I would definitely recommend above a walking tour or boat tour.
Great way to start a holiday

5.00I love a bike tour to explore a city and this one didn’t disappoint. Mercedes was a lovely and enthusiastic guide. Bruges may be small but it’s still definitely worth doing, especially as you visit a couple of spots on the outskirts of the city. The refreshment at the end of the tour was a nice touch.
Very informative &...

Great Way To See Bruges As A 1st Timer

5.00Our guide on the trip was Godfried, spoken but with loads of historical and geographical information about Belgium and Bruges. He managed a small group, all from the UK quickly getting our humour ensuring we all got round in one piece. As someone on my own I greatly appreciated that he offered and took photos for the group (often on this activities all my photos don't include me). Along the way Godfried also provided lots of recommendations for activities after the tour and messaged a long WhatsApp message of places to eat as well. In summary a really great way to get to grips with a lovely laid-back city.
A historical and cultural tour by bicycle.
