Great and fun tour through Bruges

5.00The booking through Trip Advisor went smoothly. Artur's contact with us was prompt as well. Our very informative and fun tour started on time, and Artur was able to make it exciting for our three boys aged 13 to 17. He showed us several great spots in the city, and it was never boring. In between, we got to try two different types of waffles (Brussels and Liège waffles). Unfortunately, it was Monday, and the brewery where the tour ended was closed for the day. However, Artur provided us with three alternatives where we could still enjoy a good beer to conclude the day. Thank you very much for the great tour, dear Artur! We can definitely recommend you. It is important to know that the tour is in English, and one must have a decent command of the language.
Beautiful city and an excellent guide and tour to get to know and enjoy it.

5.00Thank you for this wonderful tour of downtown Brugge! Steve gave us a great impression of the history and character of the city. It’s great how he has his network in the city and we were able to get some exquisite samples and narratives about, for example, local lace making. He is also a super entertainer with wit and makes a connection with his listeners. The route of the tour was perfect. He even spoke for us a little longer than stated. He should write a book about his wealth of experience of the city with his specific style! We recommend him to others.
