VIGOR CLIUS is an excellent guide. His love of Bruges coupled with his wealth of knowledge made the tour. Walking the streets he brought the city to life in medieval times. He showed us details easily overlooked. I highly recommend this tour for a day in Bruges.

Raphael is a local born and bred guide with a rich knowledge of the history of Briges as well as personal anecdotes that make the story come to life. A good listener as well so as to make the tour customized to our interests. Saw the high spots over 2 exhilirating hours. Would highly recommend the tour and Raphael in particular.

My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed this tour. Our guide as extremely knowledgeable and very enthusiastic about Bruges. We couldn’t have had a better experience. We saw and learned about the history of Bruges that one book would not have covered. Highly recommend.

Dmitri was a wonderful guide. He also works as an elementary school teacher and he is a gifted story teller. He was hugely informative and totally charming. He made the tour come alive. We were sorry to see it end. Recommend Dimitri most highly. You’ll be glad you picked him
Great tour to start your visit to Bruge, even if you have little time.

We had been told that Bruge was a beautiful, must-see city, but we had only one day there. Our private tour (four of us) with Coen was just what we needed: a knowledgeable and personable guide with an obvious interest and education in the history of the area. He listened to our questions and answered them, rather than depending on a prepared tour speech. We felt that in our 2.5 hours we saw a lot of Bruge and learned much about the history of the city and its early importance to the world economy. We highly recommend this tour.

Raphael, our guide, had lived in Brugge all his life and was able to provide some additional historic information during our tour. It was one of the best tours we have ever taken! Raphael was so proud of his city and his passion for it made the city of Brugge come alive for us.
