Our guide, Mary, was very informative and gave us time on our own to explore and shop. Our bus driver was fabulous!
ELIZABETH_G, Aug 2024
Very good! Nice walking tour. Plenty of free time on our own.
Canal cruise was lovely. We had to remind our guide but she took us right away and we scooted in front of the line.
Would recommend.
Thank you.

Absolutely loved this tour. The city is beautiful and our guide did a fabulous job informing us on the history. Would love to come back and spend more time.

This tour was not as advertised. We booked for the canal cruise and there was no cruise. It was a 2+ hour walking tour followed by free time. We could have booked a walking tour alone for much less. Reached out to company and received no response.
Response from Host, Jul 2024
We are sorry to hear about your disappointment, let us address all the concerns you have raised:
1. As per your guide, it appears that your complaint originated from the need to traverse the pedestrian section of Bruges, leading to your decision not to partake in the canal cruise..
2. Your complaint and refund request are unique within the entire group that participated from the Anthem of the Seas on 07/11/2024.
3. It is important to note that all the other tour participants confirmed their enjoyment of the canal cruise in Bruges.
4. This tour is not designed as a walking tour, as walking from Zeebrugge cruise port to Bruges and back would be a lengthy journey, even for experienced walkers - approx. 3 hours one way.
5. We kindly ask you to refer to the Additional Information section of the tour description, where it is highlighted that this tour involves significant walking and may not be accessible for wheelchair or scooter users or individuals with limited mobility such as yourself.
6. Your refund request has been declined based on the verified information provided above.
When booking tours with Viator in the future, we highly recommend carefully reviewing all sections of the tour descriptions. Safe travels!
