Bargeplein

In the day, when people still traveled from Ghent to Bruges by “trekschuit” (pulled boat), this spot would’ve been their first entry into Bruges. Today this is where we welcome you by bus! The area has been transformed to guide fresh adventurers into the medieval town, allowing to pass through the mesmerizing Minnewater park and the Beguinage.

    Good walking tour of central and historic Bruges. The guides were knowledgeable. I recommend the canal cruise option as the boat operator provides additional insights from the water side.

  • Great walking tour in a beautiful city!

    Awesome town, wish we had a couple of days here!! Great excursion from Vexperio, our guide was super knowledgeable and friendly. Some of our group did the optional canal cruise and enjoyed it quite a bit for photos they could take but a lot of the information discussed was already covered by our guide, so you decide. A LOT of walking on cobblestones, which they tell you in the description so listen to it!!!

    Excellent overview of Bruges. If you only have a day in port, this tour is the perfect introduction to a city you really don’t want to leave.
