5.00Excellent tour with Omar! So many fascinating details and Omar is a natural storyteller. He brought “the dead city” fully alive sharing historical information, legends and lore and personal anecdotes. I highly recommend it but be warned, this tour is FREE and you do not need to register through Viator. It cost $10 CDN which is a scam and none of that goes to the guide. Book through Guru Walk and let all the money you spend on scam booking and the tip go to the guide who truly deserves it for sharing their love of the city.
Well worth your time

5.00Martin was our tour guide. He was engaging as well as informative. My husband and I learned a lot about Bruges in different time periods as well as the response to the plague and treatment of witches. We even went back the next day to tour the church of Jerusalem that Martin discussed in his tour. The best !

5.00Joined the tour late after I saw a welcoming guide waiting in the square. Asked if I could join, if there was space. Martin happily said there was! What followed was some history, local folklore and a few creepy stories. Enjoyed the read-through to more recent events. Great In Bruges knowledge for those who have seen the movie. Strongly recommend!
Unique style
