All Belgium Tours & Excursions in 2026

Very informative tour guide. You do get waffles, chocolate, fries, and Belgian Beer. The flights of beer are very generous and the beer is strong so do not drink it all if you have a low alcohol tolerance. We chose to have dinner at the bar where the tour ended. That worked well as the tour does not include dinner. I would also note that we got a choice between waffles and fries. I found the waffles to be a much better choice after sampling a few fries from another patron.

This trip was advertised as a group tour, although at the port we were picked up by our guide, Charlene, and the driver in a mini bus, just our group! It ended up a private tour for the rest of the day and we retuned to the ship on time. Charlene is a very experienced, humorous, local lady in Bruges and she started educating us on Bruges at the start of the drive out of the port! We learnt so much and thoroughly enjoyed the day. I think on our own we wouldn’t have noticed or known about our surroundings if we had just wondered around town ourselves. To top off the day, which was my birthday, Charlene surprised me with a little box of all sorted praline chocolates as we were heading back to the ship, which was very thoughtful and sweet of her! Another advantage is that this tour was 50% cheaper than the identical trip sold onboard the cruise ship - which is often a larger group tour. I will truly remember this birthday fondly for many years to come! Bruges is absolutely beautiful and historical, made even more enjoyable by the full blown sun we had all day, which is amazing for mid October!

There are many historical tours available in Brussels to choose from and this one is true to its word. The tying of history, culture and food in a wonderful storytelling fashion is a tour I'd easily recommend. Our group was intimate in numbers with Ian being a terrific guide. Highly recommend.
