Great tour overall. Interesting history and stories. Shared ear phones with my wife so we had to walk close ❤️
Great info while you view at your own pace.

Well narrated history of Bruges while guiding through historical sites. App tracks your location in regard to where you should be and the map guides you back if you get off track. Audio automatically stops when time to move on to next site and the audio starts again automatically when you have arrived at the next talking point.
Interesting and engaging

My wife and I really enjoyed exploring Bruges at our own pace with this audio tour, and there were some memorable stories that the narrator shared. Also, the app worked great in relation to the location-based services. We easily followed the map and the audio was triggered in the appropriate spots. In comparison to the packs of people wandering the city with tour guides, this was a much better fit for us.
Must do in Brugge
