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.

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.
