1.00I received a confirmation by text 24 hours in advance. Apparently at the same time a message was sent to ny trip advisor account canceling the event. We got up early and waited 20 minutes for our tour guide to find out the trip was cancelled when I dug deeper to find out what was happening. Very disappointed in the communications. If they could text me to confirm they can text me to cancel!.
Amazing experience in Bruges!

5.00Our guide Ann communicated with us prior to our tour so she knew all the hidden gems we wanted to see. She was knowledgeable and thorough. She didn’t rush us through our private tour and we stopped for a snack to relax a bit. It was a wonderful experience
Really interesting and fun tour

5.00Arthur was an excellent guide. He clearly loves the city and enjoyed showing us some of his favorite spots and teaching us some interesting and nontraditional history. He pointed out things we’d already seen, but didn’t realize what we had been looking at which for us is the definition of hidden gems. Some funny stories and a really good few hours. Would definitely recommend.

5.00Great to get out of the busy tourist areas and see where people live. Hitting a great old bar from the early 1900 for a hot chocolate and beer was fantastic.
