What are people saying about Bruges

Caryn_J, Aug 2026

Come hungry!

Our family had a wonderful time on the Bruges Food tour. It was the perfect amount of walking, history and food. It was a beautiful day and our tour guide was very knowledgable about both the city of Bruges and the food. We first stopped for some Belgian chocolate, then on to a church that had what they believe to be the blood of Christ on a cloth which we felt fortunate to see. We had croquettes, traditional Flemish stew, beers with cheese and two kinds of Belgian waffles. This tour truly made our trip to Bruges the best thing we did on our vacation!

Bruges at Night: Murder, Mystery & Dark Stories Small Group Walk

Linda_M, Aug 2026

Witches, torture and fun!

Arthur, our guide, was incredible! His knowledge of the takes of torture, history and the city made this our favorite Brugges tour. He made it inclusive of all, happily answered any queries and had a zeal for Brugges and sharing its darker side in times past (and creepily present?)!

Unique Belgian Chocolate Making Workshop in Bruges

Kevin_P, Aug 2026

100% recommend Chocolate making and beer tasting.

Highly recommend this chocolate making and beer tasting experience. We were running late and our hostess (chief chocolate maker) kindly caught us up. Our class was full and it was so fun meeting others. We got to make our own chocolate candies and learn about the process and beer! Our chief baker was unflappable, informative and had the ability to help us all when needed. Highly recommend.

Bruges Guided Retro Biketour: Highlights, Hidden Gems & Tasting

Lawrence_C, Jul 2026

Fun and Informative over Cobblestone Streets

Bruges, Guided Retro Biketour Worried at first about riding bicycles on cobblestones but it turned out to be fine. The tricky part was avoiding pedestrian tourists, but our tour leader Eveline was a great navigator and historian. This 2 ½ hour bike tour went through the town and all the way around the canal boundaries of this beautiful city. Eveline, with her charm, city geography and historical knowledge, provided interesting facts to our multi-lingual small group. While I can’t remember all of our visits, I had a great time seeing the city and learning factoids like the underground pipeline from the brewery to the Half Moon restaurant. After the bike ride, our small group enjoyed beers or soft drinks in her quiet garden. Highly recommended, even for hesitant bicycle riders.

Guided boat trip and walk

Christina_W, Jul 2026

Great historical background

Christine was very knowledgeable and provided us with lots of historical information about Bruges. We enjoyed splitting the long walking portion up with the boat ride in between. We were also very happy that the boat ride was reserved for our group and not just a voucher to do on our own after the tour, as was with our tour in Paris. However, the chocolate tasting as literally just that. We were taken to a chocolate shop that follows the strict chocolate-making process, per the insignia out front, but were not given any information from the store as to how they make their famous Belgian chocolates. We were given the option to choose one piece to taste from a selected assortment. Overall, we would recommend this tour to others.

Alisea_B, Jul 2026

Fantastic group tour!

Fantastic tour! Very informative and he whisked us around through streets that were not so busy while was really nice. He was open to all questions and made us feel welcome to his city. They also give some great recommendations after the tour so if there’s time, definitely explore those.

Bruges: Chocolate Workshop at Choco-Story

Carrie_M, Jul 2026

Fun experience for all ages

Going in I expected a fun, if touristy, experience and got exactly what I wanted out of it a fun hour of playing with chocolate. You have access to three types of chocolate- blonde [caramelized white], milk and dark for your base plus about a dozen options for toppings plus designs you can trace on to your chocolate - you can make as much as you want in the time given and you get to keep the apron as well. Only complaint was that the workshop area while cooler than the rest of the museum by far, it was not cool enough - the blonde chocolate in particular has trouble setting (making it a race against the clock to ensure you could take it with you) and all the chocolate lost its temper. Hardly something I'm going to deduct points for, but if you were thinking of using the blonde chocolate I'd absolutely start with that first and the chocolates may not be as shiny as you expect. All in all though, a very fun activities for all ages - the 6+ rating seems appropriate for the dexterity needed.

The Waffles 'n Beer Workshop in Bruges Centre

bjschmitt, Jul 2026

Fun time with family

We had a great time making waffles! The four of us ended up in a small class of only 7 people total. Our host had interesting stories about the beer we sampled and explained the different types of waffles. This class was recommended to us by friends who had lived in the Netherlands and taken the class before.

Bruges Tour with Canal Cruise from Zeebrugge Cruise Port

Brian_S, Jul 2026

Wonderful tour, the guide was excellent!

Finding the meeting point was a breeze as was checkin. They did appear to oversell the bus so several people had to get off and take a cab (the tour company paid for) to meet the bus in Bruges. Our guide was excellent. There are 2, but her name was Mary. 2nd Mary and Gurta were also involved in various parts of the day and all were so nice, so knowledgeable, and had great senses of humor. When we passed a public washroom a few people needed to go, Mary opened her own wallet and gave a few people that had no cash the 1 euro it cost to use the toilet! There was a lot of walking over mostly cobblestone streets so you do have to be a bit mindful of where you step. A few times I had some near misses with ankle fractures! The town is mostly flat and I did see several wheelchair users getting around just fine. Again, just watch the cobblestone. Bruges was absolutely beautiful. Mary had some great stories to tell us and there was no question she couldn’t answer. The boat ride broke up the walking tour and was lovely! We had about 1.5 hours free time to roam before we met back up, finished the tour and went back to the busses. We were back in plenty of time to make the ship. I would 100% recommend this tour.

Bruges Waffle Workshop

Lisa_B, Jul 2026

Such a fun time! Elliott...

Such a fun time! Elliott led our class. We had a short intro about different types of waffles and then learned how to make the Brussel Belgium waffles. Each group of 2 or 3 got to make their own batch of batter, cook them and eat them. Many of toppings were provided to please the entire group. Elliott was very helpful and friendly. We had a great time!

Belgian Chocolate Workshop in Bruges

Risa_K, May 2026

The chocolate workshop...

The chocolate workshop was amazing! We made delicious chocolates (filled and flat), enjoyed hot chocolate and learned about some history and some chocolate making technique. Sasha was a wonderful host and the chocolates were delicious. The place was well air conditioned, though there are steps to get in and a flight of steps to get upstairs, which may be difficult for some folks. Additionally, the workshop involved a lot of standing. We had a great time, but some folks may want to call about being downstairs for the class if the stairs are an issue.
