5.00Gosia was an outstanding guide. She combined deep knowledge with a warm, approachable style, delivering the tour with genuine passion, enthusiasm and a great sense of humour. Thanks to her, we enjoyed a brilliant introduction to the city—its history, culture, art, food, drink, and all the little details that bring a place to life. She also shared practical, money‑saving tips on everything from public transport to where to eat, drink and take boat trips, which made a real difference in such an expensive city. Gosia made the entire experience thoroughly enjoyable, and I’d highly recommend this tour to anyone new to the city.
So many stories…

5.00Artur was an authentic storyteller, with humor, engagement, facts, and intelligence. The tour was a perfect opening to a stay in Bruges. I would give Artur more than 5 stars if it were possible.
Enjoyable and informative walk

5.00Lovely, chatty and charming Gozia took our group to the main places of interest! We were indeed on our first day and she gave such helpful information which we were able to make use of during the rest of our stay. A great way to start our visit!

5.00Goas (spelling?) was so engaging. She gave a a view of the city with personal and historical info. We truly want to go back as we were not able to get in all of the things she suggested.

5.00We had a great start to our visit to Bruges with Gosia. She was enthusiastic, very knowledgeable, she spoke loud and clear, was well prepared, and answered all questions. She shared many details about the architecture and the city history that we would have missed on our own. She gave recommendations for things to revisit, food recommendations, and much more. Highly recommend this tour if you want a great overview of Bruges.

5.00Arthur was wonderful. My wife and I always do a tour when we go to a city new to us. It's the only way to really learn the personality and history of a city. We learned so much about Bruges and Belgium history on this tour. More importantly, the tour was entertaining. Arthur makes a point of connecting with each member of his tour group and responding to their interests. We were shown all the "must sees" in Bruges but were also given the inside scoop on places to go for our personal preferences. And for us, we learned the secrets to being a good tour guide. Arthur knows these secrets well to make our tour informative, entertaining and fun.
Lovely tour of Bruges

5.00Tour from a local- mostly focuses on tips and tricks for your stay in Bruges. Points out bits of history, while sticking with the stories as advertised. So fun and enjoyable- but if you are looking for a hard core history tour look elsewhere! This would be fantastic to do on your very first day in Bruges! She had excellent insights into the must sees and the walking tour itself took you to the most beautiful spots!
A story teller of note!

5.00Pascal is a delightful story teller who clearly loves his city. He had is laughing and enjoying all the history about Brugges. Great beer experience after and he then went out of his way to treat my friend and I to an additional walk before joining us for supper and regaling is with more interesting facts. Pascal also changed our booking with no problem when we did not make it on time ( passport queues!!). A definite addition to your visit.
