Great tour!

Published on Jun, 2023

The tour was very interesting!! Our guide Gamaal was informative and customized the experience for us! He asked my group what we were interested in learning about and told us rich history about the buildings. We were able to see many different types of architect styles in Brussels which was enjoyable, especially the churches! Overall great experience and Gamaal was an amazing guide!!

Nice citytrip, around 2 hours long. Starting at Grand-Place across the town, to the cathedral and the palace of justice.

Super Tour

Don’t miss this tour! Our guide was extremely knowledgeable and very funny! The tour was slightly more than two hours and covered the most interesting sites in Old Bruges.

Wonderful tour with great advice

Published on Feb, 2023

Our guide was a local lady with expertise in art & architecture, but she also had a heap to share on local food, some customs, and great stories about herself. She was a natural storyteller, and very passionate about her town. Her information about the town was impressive, dotted with humour too. And when she gave advice about the best places to go for things like waffles, hot chocolate, beer, and Flemish stew, we later tried some of these and can attest that her advice was for the best in Bruges! We covered a lot of ground, but by the end, I think we'd all enjoyed it thoroughly.
