5.00The best way to get to know all about Bruges. Pascal was very informative and entertaining! We felt that we knew so much more about Bruges for the rest of our visit which made it even more enjoyable.

5.00Alister gives us in 2:15 a very pleasant visit of the historic center, mixing with the great history of the city many anecdotes and touches of humor well felt. His Scottish accent is lovely. I specify in case: everything is in English 🙂
Excellent tour in a beautiful city

5.00We visited Bruges for the day from Brussels with our 2 sons aged 14 and 12 and had a lovely walking tour of Bruges with Gosia! She was amazing and kept the whole group engaged with her beautiful personality. Her knowledge was fantastic and it made our visit to Bruges even better. The boys were kept happy with chocolate and waffle stops. Thank you Gosia. X

5.00I highly recommend this tour. Our guide, Alistair, is a dyed in the wool storyteller (perhaps due to his Scottish roots) with a great sense of humour. Apart from the Belfry bells seemingly getting stuck in the on position for a cartoonishly long time and Alistair having to battle to talk over them, I found the tour to be very insightful, full of interesting history and humourous tidbits. This tour is definitely worth your time. Side note: if you're looking for the guide during a busy day in the square, look for the bright yellow shirt and umbrella.
Fabulous tour with Pascal.
