Patrick, our guide, was very knowledgeable about the history of Brugge and spent time answering questions. The tour was well planned with the boat ride in the middle of the walking tour. In addition, the Chocolate sample was from a very good Chocolate store….they did not cheap out.

Charlene was our tour...

Charlene was our tour guide. She was full of spunk and knowledge about Brugge. Charlene had a lot of fans around Brugge and was extremely caring for the group she was touring around the city.

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.

Great bike and history tour in Bruges

The retro bike tour was one of the most fun and historical bike tours we’ve ever done. Sebastian was an absolutely amazing tour guide. He’s very knowledgeable about Bruges history. And on top of that he’s such a vibrant and fun young man. We wish him the best in his future endeavors. And talk to the people in your group. I found someone who knows my sister in my hometown! It’s a small, wonderful world that we live in!

Private Historical Tour: History and Highlights of Bruges

Raina_K, Sept 2026

Great Tour of Bruges

This was an excellent walking tour of Bruges that provided an overview of the culture and amazing history. Our tour guide, Martin, was very knowledgeable and personable. He provided extensive and detailed information as we traveled throughout the city. The tour included several stops where Martin described in detail what we were seeing and what we should take special note of as we explored on our own. If we were to do this tour again, we would request Martin, and give ourselves more time after the tour to explore his recommendations.

Bruges Tour with Canal Cruise from Zeebrugge Cruise Port

Debra_M, Sept 2026

Beautiful Brugge

This tour wasn't listed as a walking tour. As described it said, here for 30 minutes, here for 60 minutes. There was none of that. We walked from the bus to each location and the guide who was wonderful and very information stopped and spoke. So my only warning is, lots of walking on uneven, cobblestone and brick steps. It rained all day, so also slippery spots. That being said, Brugge is a beautiful city. Canals run throughout and so lovely scenic views in every direction. Good food, shopping and sights. We had 20 people in our group and she did a good shop of waiting for us to gather before she began speaking. She gave us information on good local shops for their famous waffles, chocolates, lace and French fries. We had a canal ride and then about an hour and a half to explore on our own and then we met up for the walk back to the bus. All in all, even with the rain, it was a great day.

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.

Bruges Waffle Workshop

Lisa_B, Jul 2026

Such a fun time! Elliott...

Such a fun time! Elliott led our class. We had a short intro about different types of waffles and then learned how to make the Brussel Belgium waffles. Each group of 2 or 3 got to make their own batch of batter, cook them and eat them. Many of toppings were provided to please the entire group. Elliott was very helpful and friendly. We had a great time!

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!

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 !!
