1. Complete Flexibility - Tour at Your Own Pace: This is a self-guided audio tour, NOT a GPS-guided tour. You have complete freedom to choose which attractions to visit, explore in any order you prefer, start and finish wherever you like, and even split the tour across multiple days. Spend as much time as you want at each location and take breaks whenever needed.

2. How You'll Receive Your Tour Materials: On your selected travel date, before your start time, you'll receive two important links: one for your audio guides (SoundCloud) and one for your interactive map (Google My Maps). These links will be sent via your booking platform's messaging system, and also via iMessage/WhatsApp if you provided your phone number during booking. Important: While all links are fully functional, the booking platform may not display link previews due to platform restrictions. For the best experience with instant previews and one-click access, we strongly recommend providing your phone number during booking to receive links via WhatsApp or iMessage. This ensures smoother, faster access to your audio guides.

3. Using Your Audio Guides (Link 1 - SoundCloud): Open the SoundCloud link in your web browser (Safari, Chrome, etc.). You'll see a playlist of all attraction audio guides organized in a suggested order. You can listen before your tour to plan which attractions interest you most, or play them as you arrive at each location. Simply scroll through the playlist, tap any attraction to play its audio guide, and use play/pause controls as needed throughout your tour.

4. Using Your Interactive Map (Link 2 - Google My Maps): Open the Google My Maps link in your web browser - not the Google Maps app. You'll see all attractions marked with headphone icons. Navigate by either tapping directly on any headphone icon on the map, or tapping the tour title below the map to view a complete list of attractions. When you select an attraction, a popup window appears with a clickable link to that location's audio guide.

5. What to Bring & Prepare: Essential items: headphones/earphones, fully charged smartphone, and internet access. Before your visit, review both links to familiarize yourself with the attractions and audio content, then decide your priorities and create your own route or follow our suggested order.

6. Audio Guide Language Selection: Select your preferred audio guide language during booking to guarantee delivery in that language. Language selection cannot be changed after confirmation. If your preferred language isn't available during booking, you can mention it in the Special Requirements section when placing your order. However, this request must be made at least 48 hours before your selected travel date and time. We will make our best effort to prepare your requested language, but please note this is subject to availability and cannot be guaranteed. For the best assurance of receiving your preferred language, always select from the available language options during the booking process.

7. Important Notice - Attraction Fees & Your Responsibilities: While many attractions are free to visit, some may charge fees for special sections, additional services, or general admission. It is your responsibility to check opening hours, closing times, holiday schedules, advance booking requirements, and purchase any necessary admission tickets before visiting each attraction. If you need assistance accessing or using the audio guide, please contact our customer support team.

What To Expect

1

Begin your journey at Bruges' remarkable railway station, a fascinating blend of neo-Gothic architecture and modern functionality. Your audio guide reveals the station's evolution from its 1939 inauguration to its current status as a vital transportation hub. Discover the architectural symbolism that connects this relatively modern structure to Bruges' medieval heritage, with design elements that echo the city's iconic buildings. The audio experience points out easily-missed details in the station's façade and explains how this gateway to Bruges was deliberately designed to prepare visitors for the architectural wonders awaiting them. Learn about the station's survival during World War II when many Belgian railways were targeted, and understand its significance in transforming Bruges from declining port to world-renowned tourist destination. This introduction sets the stage for your exploration of a city where past and present intertwine seamlessly.

Minnewater Lake

Discover the tranquil haven locals call the "Lake of Love," where legend claims that lovers who cross its bridge will experience eternal love. Your audio guide reveals the lake's fascinating history, explaining how this natural harbor once bustled with trading vessels before silting transformed it into the romantic setting you see today. At your own pace, explore the picturesque surroundings while learning about the tragic medieval legend of Minna and her forbidden love that gives this place its name. The audio experience points out architectural details of the surrounding historic buildings and highlights the best viewing angles often missed by rushed tour groups. Listen to tales of the resident swans, whose presence isn't merely decorative but connected to a historical punishment inflicted on Bruges by Emperor Maximilian—a story most visitors never hear, but which explains the city's enduring relationship with these majestic birds.
