Excellent Zeebrugge Belgium Tour

Published on May, 2025

This was an excellent tour. Good pacing with the walking and the canal cruise was really nice. Peter our guide was very knowledgeable and with the canal cruise you have about an hour to get to shop and buy keepsakes to take home. The chocolate here is the best. Worth the price. Get a waffle with Chocolate! Highly recommend this tour!

"Zeebrugge: Belgium's Coastal Cruise Stop"

Published on Apr, 2025

Zeebrugge is a small port town in Belgium by the North Sea. It’s close to Bruges, a beautiful city with canals and old buildings. Many cruise ships, like Royal Caribbean, stop here. The port has a modern terminal. From Zeebrugge, you can take a 20-minute taxi or bus to Bruges for €30-60. Or use a tram and train for €8. Bruges has chocolate, waffles, and history. Zeebrugge has a beach and a chocolate factory. It’s easy to visit, with English spoken and euros used. The weather is cool and often rainy. Zeebrugge is a great stop for cruises and a quick trip to Bruges.

Great trip

Published on Apr, 2025

This was a nice tour that took us from our ship to the civic center. There is a lot of walking involved

Great tour

Published on Mar, 2025

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!

Published on Mar, 2025

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.
