Fascinating city, but too much walking on this tour .

There's quite a bit more walking involved than expected. Major downside was there was no audio system, so because the guide ( very knowledgeable, but not interested in any suggestions at all) walked too fast and got too far ahead ( he never checked behind), you couldn't hear him. Also no bathroom breaks scheduled, only 1/2 hour free time, instead of 2 hours expected, and very insensitive to people with some mobility issues.
Great trip

We took this tour to Bruges from our cruise ship. It was very well organized. They picked us up at port, and we had a a nice tour of Bruges, s well as some free time. The tour included a stunning canal boat. We were in a small group as opposed to what hte ship was offering, which we really appreciated
Thank you Andy for showing us Bruges!

This was a shore excursion that was for cruise ship passengers docking in Zeebrugge. Our ship arrived in the morning and the Vexperio crew was already waiting there. They brought us to Bruges and we had a little walk to town from the bus drop off. We saw the main highlights with a guide called Andy, who was very professional, courteous and knowledgable. Some people took the canal cruise, but we opted for going for lunch and had a beer and chocolte tasting as well. All in all this was a really wonderful experience. We will be coming back for more cruises in Europe in the futur and will definitely call Vexpeiro/Viator again.
Beautiful Bruges

This was a wonderful tour. We had a small group, and a great guide. They took us to the main sights, we also did a canal cruise and had a chance to try some Belgian beer and chocolates. All in all I would highly recommend, much better value than what the ship offered. Pick up and drop off at the port was also included
