We don't offer ordinary tours. Passionate local storytellers will use stories to make history come to life to give you a good insight into how life must have been in medieval Bruges.
There's no set route. All of the storytellers have their own personal highlights for you and will adapt those to the group. So the more questions and input you give them, the better your experience will get.

5.00Alistair was an excellent guide - entertaining, knowledgeable and witty. The tour took us round all the popular parts and some hidden gems too. We thoroughly enjoyed the tour and it gave us a great insight to Brugge’s history and inspired us to visit some of the landmarks he mentioned. Thank you Alistair!

5.00Excellent walking tour through the cobblestone streets of Bruges with Gosia! Extremely knowledgeable, spoke English well, and humorous too. Pure pleasure. Learned so much. Only negative is that the tour lasted two and a half hours. If it could have been kept to two, it would have been absolutely perfect.

5.00We had a great time with Pascal! He is super knowledgeable, passionate and fun!! Grateful for the time we spent with him and learning about all the history and highlights of Bruges! The only thing I’d callout is that the tour is longer than 2 hours so plan accordingly!

5.00Pascal our guide in Bruges, Belgium brought history to life with his exquisite storytelling and his enthusiasm and love of his city. The entire group was mesmerized by his energy, sense of humor and excitement for his work, he is a true storyteller! When we return to Bruges, we will hire him again for a great walking tour! Thank you !!
One of the best walking tours ever.

5.00My wife and I have been on many city walking tours all over Europe. The tour of Bruges with Gosia was one of the very best. She was funny, informative and extremely knowledgeable. She answered everyone's questions and tried to involve everyone in the group. The fact that the tour ran over by several minutes and no one left is testament to what a great guide Gosia is.
Great time!

5.00Arthur was such a fantastic guide, he really knows this beautiful place so well. Everything was well organised from finding the meeting point, checking in and setting off. It was an extremely hot day when we visited, and I was very impressed how Arthur handled the group , kept us moving, navigated busy areas and also kept us in the shade as much as possible, including a water refill stop was a nice touch. We thoroughly enjoyed the tour and recommendation for a drink at the brewery the tour finishes close by to. Do book this tour, you won't regret it.
