Amazing walking tour of Bruges.

Published on Nov, 2024

Fantastic 3 hour tour of major Bruges buildings and even a private residence. Koen was very friendly and knowledgeable.

Beautiful Bruge

Published on Sep, 2024

We had an awesome experience with our guide Raf. A true local of Bruge who went the extra mile, in compromising weather, too ensure that we saw all the highlights of his hometown !

Medieval Times Come to Life

Published on Aug, 2024

VIGOR CLIUS is an excellent guide. His love of Bruges coupled with his wealth of knowledge made the tour. Walking the streets he brought the city to life in medieval times. He showed us details easily overlooked. I highly recommend this tour for a day in Bruges.

Super local born and bred guide A+++

Published on Jun, 2024

Raphael is a local born and bred guide with a rich knowledge of the history of Briges as well as personal anecdotes that make the story come to life. A good listener as well so as to make the tour customized to our interests. Saw the high spots over 2 exhilirating hours. Would highly recommend the tour and Raphael in particular.

Fantastic, Thorough Tour

Published on Jun, 2024

My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed this tour. Our guide as extremely knowledgeable and very enthusiastic about Bruges. We couldn’t have had a better experience. We saw and learned about the history of Bruges that one book would not have covered. Highly recommend.
