Viator cancelled my tour. We were visiting Bruges for 1 day only. You let us down. I hope I will receive my refund promptly.

Our guide, Lavigna, was knowledgeable and friendly. We had a great tour. She asked for special requests (we wanted to go to a chocolate shop) and she chose the perfect one for us.

Our tour was the best tour we have had in our many travels. Jay had a wealth of knowledge and history about the city but his exuberant personality made the tour so much more entertaining. He brought the city and its history to life! Thank you Jay!

Delightful walking tour of Bruge! Our guide, Lavigne, was terrific. Born in Bruge, She spoke perfect English. Warm, engaging and full of charming stories and history we could not have asked for more when I mentioned I wanted to buy some handmade lace, she called around to find some for me.

Our personal guide was wonderful! She was very knowledgeable and provided us information about Bruge’s rich history while also sharing recommendations for us at the tours end. Since this was a personal she was able to tailor the tour to our interests!

Our local guide Jay was awesome! He takes great pride in Bruges and seems like everyone knows him. His knowledge is terrific, and he was very helpful with taking pictures. He brought us to a pub to experience the real Bruges and overall it was an amazing tour.
