The 10 Tastings of Bruges With Locals: Private Food Tour

Robert_H, Oct 2026

A great day!

Walking through Bruges with Hugo felt like taking a stroll with an old friend; one with a wonderful knowledge of history! He brought the city’s past to life in a way that was engaging, relaxed and full of personality. You can tell Hugo has spent his entire career in hospitality. He has a natural way of making people feel welcome and comfortable, and we thoroughly enjoyed our time with him. A wonderful way to experience Bruges. Highly recommended!

Bruges Tour with Canal Cruise from Zeebrugge Cruise Port

Diane_B, Oct 2026

There was so much more to...

There was so much more to see in Bruges than I was expecting. The tour bus from the cruise terminal had about 92 people on it but when we got to Bruges they split us up into groups of 20 or less. My tour guide Gerta (?) was fantastic. Really good knowledge of history presented in a storytelling manner. She was also very responsive to questions and pointed out places to stop for an authentic experience. Opportunity to shop or eat in the marketplace - don't miss the chocolates and waffles!

Bruges and Ghent Private Tour from Brussels

Randy_B, Oct 2026

Mavliud was an excellent...

Mavliud was an excellent guide for our second time in the area. We requested the majority of our day be spent in Jenn since we had been in Bruges the year before. He’s very knowledgeable about the area. The Canal boat ride was wonderful and the city is gorgeous. He even pointed out his favorite chocolate shop for us to make our purchases. In Bruges, he treated us to waffles and a beer tasting. It was a fantastic day. I would highly recommend this tour.

Bruges Guided Retro Biketour: Highlights, Hidden Gems & Tasting

Kate_B, Oct 2026

Excellent Retro Bike Tour!

Bike tour of Bruges in relatively small groups! We were taken on a tour by the very lovely and well informed Mercedes. I was initially a bit worried about doing 2.5 hrs on a bike when I’m no athlete! However the entire tour was on flat ground and we saw so so much more then we would ever have seen on foot. Our group of 4 got to see so much of Bruges which was perfect as we only had a two night stay! Bikes were all in great condition and we were given a poncho to wear/carry in case it rained! There are bikes/people/taxis and dogs everywhere in Bruges but Mercedes weaved us all in and out of them with ease! We even had a drink waiting for us when we returned! Excellent tour - highlight of our trip!! Well done Mercedes!

The Waffles 'n Beer Workshop in Bruges Centre

Robin_P, Sept 2026

Waffles and Beer in Brussels

Waffle making and beer tasting was amazing. We had so much fun with Stefan as our instructor we will definitely recommend to any friends and family traveling to Brussels. We were a party of 3 and all of us had so much fun. Can’t wait to try making our own waffles at home using the recipe that was given to us.

Guided Walking Tour of Bruges with Canal Cruise and Tastings

Helen_H, Sept 2026

Brilliant

Turn up on time and look for a gentlemen with a union jack flag. Peter was wonderful told all the history with a good sense of humor. I know he repeats this daily but it seemed totally fresh. Bruges is a wonderful place to visit. Peter will give you ideas of where to visit and investigate further . and little bit of chocolate as well.

Belgian Chocolate Workshop in Bruges

Edward_E, Sept 2026

Chocolate making fun.

It is a small group of 8, usually work in pairs. Excellent chocolate making host and guide. You work standing around a table. Not wheel chair accessible but if you can manage 2 entry steps it is well worth the effort. It is 3 hours of chocolate making including a little down time to sit and listen to some chocolate making facts while your creations cool in the fridge. It was a great deal of fun.

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.

Deluxe Bruges Excursion and Canal Cruise from Cruise Terminal

Kelly_C, Jun 2026

Wonderful!

Took a little longer for the people to organize the tour group and get us on the buses, but after that it was amazing! Bruges is my favorite gem in that area of Europe. The medieval charm is second to none. The tour guide was very knowledgeable and took us through all the great locations with stories to accompany them. The two hour break was great to get a bite to eat and wander the streets or shop. Overall this was the best one I’ve been on. Thank you!
