What are people saying about Bruges

carmenkmoore11, May 2026

Medieval Specialist

Mauricio made our Bruges experience absolutely exceptional. My husband especially loved the depth of historical and architectural knowledge he shared throughout the tour — it truly brought the city to life in a way we never could have experienced on our own. What made Mauricio so special, though, was that he balanced all of that rich history with warmth, humor, and personality, making the tour engaging and fun for me as well. He has a true gift for storytelling. Bruges is beautiful on its own, but Mauricio made it unforgettable. Highly, highly recommend!

Guided boat trip and walk

Mike_N, May 2026

Fun tour!

This walking tour was a great way to get an experience of Bruge from a knowledgable local source. Our host was well versed in the history of the town and the surrounding area. He also was quick to answer questions from the small group. The boat ride in the middle of the tour allowed for a short respite and an opportunity to get a different view of the city.

Bruges Guided Retro Biketour: Highlights, Hidden Gems & Tasting

Sebastian was a great...

Sebastian was a great guide. Very informative and helpful. It's a great way to see lots of interesting things in Bruges that you wouldn't see otherwise. The bikes are good and the riding was easy and mostly flat. That said, there was a family with a child on our tour that wasn't a strong enough rider to keep up. I think some of that is on the family for booking a bike tour with her, while knowing her level of skill on a bike. It didn't really slow our tour down too much, and Sebastian was great at accommodating them without making the rest of us wait. I didn't see an age limit for the tour, but maybe there should be one. All in all, it was an excellent tour and I would highly recommend it.

Bruge Beer & Waffle Workshop

What fun! Brecht was a great host with fun facts about Belgian Beers and the borders in Belgium. It was wonderful to learn about and taste several beers including Cherry and Peach beers! Followed by a sweet treat of waffles under the able supervision of Brecht. We made more than we could eat! We certainly left happy 😊

Belgian Chocolate Workshop in Bruges

Tasty Morning. Yum

We had a wonderful time at the chocolate workshop. Sabina is a delight. Very knowledgeable, experienced and patient with a great sense of humor. Her background as a teacher came through with her clear instruction and support. This was a not to be missed experience in Bruges. We made so much chocolate to bring home. Sabina also made us some delicious hot chocolate. A great morning. So fun!

Fantastic foodie walking tour

Our guide was awesome - so informative, relaxed and funny. I wish I could recall her name! The food was delicious and there was a LOT of it with quite a variety of all the local specialties: Flemish beef stew, fries, croquettes, chocolate, and of course locally brewed beer. Yum! Would highly recommend.

Lovely trip with a friendly tour guide

We had a lovely tour of Bruges and Ghent with Mavliud of ProCapture Tours. He was professional, knowledgeable and, most importantly, very accommodative and flexible which was important since we were traveling with kids. We had a comfortable vehicle wholly to ourselves and a totally customizable itinerary. Would highly recommend this tour with ProCapture.

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.
