Highly recommend for anyone coming to Bruges

Published on Apr, 2025

A wonderful tour to learn about Bruges. Really made us appreciate the city even more to learn about its amazing history. Alice was a wonderful guide that kept us well entertained while teaching us about the history. The time went by so fast! Highly recommend for anyone coming to Bruges.

The Best we could Find!

Published on Apr, 2025

Guide was friendly and kept things light, which worked well for all of us. We took canal cruise too, super calm and scenic. I'll say bruges just has that charming vibe that makes you slow down and enjoy. Great pick for a family day.

Day in Bruges, lot to learn

Published on Apr, 2025

I like every single spot, and the way of our guide explained each detail to us. Bruges is cultural place so we asked many questions to our guide and he answered everyone of it.

Belgian treats.

Published on Mar, 2025

Sharing this tour with my friends who appreciate history, architecture and culture as much as I do. We needed out over Gothic spires, debated the merits of Renaissance art, and simply enjoyed each other's company in this enchanting setting.

Walking through Postcard

Published on Mar, 2025

Having Thomas as our guide made the tour even better! Canal cruise was also included in this tour, it was so peaceful experience. The only thing is, we would've loved a bit more free time to wander around and check out more shops. But honestly, it was such a ripper day and we felt proper feel for bruges.
