What are people saying about Bruges

Bruges Tour with Canal Cruise from Zeebrugge Cruise Port

Christine, Aug 2026

Great tour!

This was a great tour, but be aware that it includes a lot of walking. We learned about the history of Bruges, took a canal boat cruise, then had free time to shop and sample some Belgian chocolate and Belgian beer, including the one that has won the world finals for three years in a row! I didn’t really know anything about Bruges before I went and now I want to go back to see more of this beautiful city!

Guided boat trip and walk

Mary_D, Aug 2026

Great tour!

In addition to great photo-ops, Bruges has a rich and colorful history which you will learn about on this tour with a wonderful guide. You will see different historical sites and architectural styles. You will also have a Bruges treat at a locally owned shop (no spoilers). Finally you will take a ferry where the boat operator will tell you about interesting places along the river.

Guided Walking Tour of Bruges with Canal Cruise and Tastings

Rachael_W, Aug 2026

Peter is fantastic!

Peter was a FANTASTIC guide to Brugge. My older sons (18 and 20) were convinced they would be bored, but they were totally engaged and loved it. We ended up skipping the canal cruise part at the end because it was a long wait in the lines, but other than that it was fabulous.

Colleen_L, Aug 2026

More than a Food Tour

We had a really great guide, Daniel, who made this tour really enjoyable. This was more than a food tour because he not only took us to the best and most delicious food places, but he also gave us a tour of the area. I would highly recommend this tour.

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.

The 10 Tastings of Bruges With Locals: Private Food Tour

Corey_S, Jul 2026

A great food (and beer) tour.

This was a great experience. The guide was super friendly and super knowledgable. We stopped at a fair amount of spots and really got a nice selection of Bruges food. The highlights for me were the Waffles and the Chocolates. The brewery stops were great too, but I drink a lot of beer so I had already hit those up lol. The guide also dropped some great info during our walk about the neighborhoods and the other points of interest we passed as we walked. I would definitely recommend this tour and my whole party agreed.

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.

GREAT way to spend VACATION day!

Our day is Brugge was fantastic! We enjoyed getting to see all the sites and still having some free time for our own exploration. Our guide was terrific! We finished our day with a hole in one Belgium waffle with chocolate and strawberries! Perfect mix of history, shopping and yummy treats! 100% recommend!

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.

Bruges and Ghent Private Tour from Brussels

Jennie_D, Mar 2026

We had the best day with...

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!
