Theresa_L, Jun 2026

This was such a fantastic...

This was such a fantastic experience! The best of Belgium! With souvenir chocolates to take home! Our instructor was fun & very knowledgeable in both Belgium beer AND chocolate making. We left informed and motivated to try some day on our own. This experience was a highlight of our time in Brugge. Thank you!

Guided boat trip and walk

Lauren_W, May 2026

One of the best walking tours I’ve done in Europe!

A great tour and very informative! Was a great way to see and learn about Bruges from a local guide, Mike was an engaging tour guide! Loved the canal cruise and the chocolate tasting. Highly recommend to anyone interested. A decent amount of walking but lots of rest breaks provided which was helpful for one of my family members who is still recovering from surgery. The tour is structured well - about an hour of walking, 30 min canal cruise and then about another hour of walking. Plenty of time and opportunity for toilet breaks as well if needed. One of my favourite walking tours I’ve done!

Private Historical Tour: The Highlights of Bruges

carmenkmoore11, May 2026

Medieval Specialist

Mauricio made our Bruges experience absolutely exceptional. My husband especially loved the depth of historical and architectural knowledge he shared throughout the tour — it truly brought the city to life in a way we never could have experienced on our own. What made Mauricio so special, though, was that he balanced all of that rich history with warmth, humor, and personality, making the tour engaging and fun for me as well. He has a true gift for storytelling. Bruges is beautiful on its own, but Mauricio made it unforgettable. Highly, highly recommend!

Bruges Guided Retro Biketour: Highlights, Hidden Gems & Tasting

Evan_S, May 2026

Sebastian was a great...

Sebastian was a great guide. Very informative and helpful. It's a great way to see lots of interesting things in Bruges that you wouldn't see otherwise. The bikes are good and the riding was easy and mostly flat. That said, there was a family with a child on our tour that wasn't a strong enough rider to keep up. I think some of that is on the family for booking a bike tour with her, while knowing her level of skill on a bike. It didn't really slow our tour down too much, and Sebastian was great at accommodating them without making the rest of us wait. I didn't see an age limit for the tour, but maybe there should be one. All in all, it was an excellent tour and I would highly recommend it.

What fun! Brecht was a great host with fun facts about Belgian Beers and the borders in Belgium. It was wonderful to learn about and taste several beers including Cherry and Peach beers! Followed by a sweet treat of waffles under the able supervision of Brecht. We made more than we could eat! We certainly left happy 😊

Our guide was awesome - so informative, relaxed and funny. I wish I could recall her name! The food was delicious and there was a LOT of it with quite a variety of all the local specialties: Flemish beef stew, fries, croquettes, chocolate, and of course locally brewed beer. Yum! Would highly recommend.

We had the best day with Mauv (hope we are spelling his name right!). The transpiration was perfect and each location was worth visiting. Having a private tour was worth the money as both locations are quite busy. Mauv shared so much history and he was was a great guide. I would highly recommend this tour!
