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.
Best ever

5.00Steve was excellent. Funny, educational, opened our eyes to what was around us. Loved his stories of Bruges' history, getting us to do a bit of “taking part”. We’ve done lots of these walking tours and this was the best.

3.00Interesting walk and good value. I personally didn't like the guide's self-agrandising sense of humour and 'jokes' on clichéd sterotypes. I would have preferred more historical/cultural stories and less personal anecdotes/opinions.
