What are people saying about Bruges

Christina_J, Jun 2026

Highly Recommend this Bike Tour

What an excellent experience! We were taken to the most interesting and important parts of the city and exposed to history we otherwise would not have learned. Sebastian was a considerate and attentive guide, making sure we were at the right pace and safely navigating through the city. He even brought water, ponchos and umbrellas. We have been on other tours that did not. At the end of the tour we concluded with a drink in a picturesque garden. We absolutely loved our experience.

Great morning in Bruges with Martin!

This was a fantastic tour of Bruges. Martin was our guide and he was very knowledgeable and a lot of fun. We learned so much and couldn’t believe the 2 hours was over so fast. I would highly recommend this tour and you would be lucky to get Martin as your guide!!

The 10 Tastings of Bruges With Locals: Private Food Tour

Michael_C, Jun 2026

Time well spent

Hugo was a great host and guide. He was well informed of local history as well as local fare. You could tell he was proud to share his Belgian history and insights. We shared in local frites, and a flight of fun beers from a local brewery. We viewed the wall of beer with all of the unique glassware. I had shared with Hugo my desire to taste a specific local beer. Hugo modified the tour to make that happen. Perhaps the best part of the tour was to see the affection the various vendors had towards Hugo, which was easy to understand. We enjoyed this tour and our time with our guide.

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!

The Waffles 'n Beer Workshop in Bruges Centre

Rosie_R, May 2026

What a great time!!

We had such a great time making waffles and drinking beer! This workshop is well laid out, and expertly run. The gal who ran this (sorry, I forgot her name) was enjoyable to talk with, very funny and extremely friendly. I would highly recommend this activity to anyone looking for a fun activity in Bruges!

Belgian Chocolate Workshop in Bruges

Khilna_S, May 2026

Amazing chocolate making...

Amazing chocolate making workshop! We had so much fun learning how to make pralines & mendiants and having hot chocolate at the end. Sabina was brilliant at demonstrating and explaining with interesting stories. She made everyone feel at ease. We thoroughly enjoyed this experience. Thank you .

Belgian Beer Tasting in Bruges: 6 Beers, Cheese & a Local Host

Sophie_D, May 2026

Amazing beer tasting not to be missed!

Great tasting, ambiance and hostess. The beer selection was exquisite, surely the best beers available in Belgium, not to mention the high quality of the cheese and appetisers. Explanation about brewery process, flavors and origin were interesting. We were a family of 4 joining another 4 people group. The hostess made us feel like home, and we shared a friendly moment such as we stayed long after the end to keep discussing. We definitely recommend !!

Bruges Tour with Canal Cruise from Zeebrugge Cruise Port

Karen_S, May 2026

Great walking/boat tour for those on cruise ships

Our guide shared so much wonderful information! It was a smaller group so we were able to hear and ask questions easily. It was a walking tour, followed by a canal boat trip. She allowed for free time at the end for shopping and sampling Belgium goodies (waffles, fries, chocolates). We came from a cruise ship and were picked up right at the port which made it very convenient. I highly recommend this tour!

Private Bruges Shore Trip with Opt. Canal Cruise from Zeebrugge

Kate_G, Sept 2025

Best of Bruges!

Our cruise arrived to port late--but no worries!! The tour company tracked our arrival, and was in pre-emptive communication with us about pick up and itinerary adjustments. Extremely proactive communication, and we knew exactly what to expect. We had a group of 12 (yes 12) and our tour guide, Wilm, might be one of my favorite ever. He is clearly passionate about the history of Bruges, and took us to all the points of interest. His commentary was knowledgeable and quite funny. We enjoyed his personality quite a bit. We wished we had had some additional time in Bruges to explore on our own, but since our cruise was late to port, we had to omit that part of the tour. I would highly recommend this tour.

Excellent Shore Excursion of Bruge

The tour was excellent. The guide was very knowledgeable about the area and was able to give us some historical perspectives regarding the different sites we were visiting in Bruge. The bus was very luxurious and comfortable. We had plenty of free time to shop or explore on our own.
