What are people saying about Bruges

Jeremy_D, Jul 2026

Well organised, great communication and planning, and excellent knowledge!

Being picked up from the hotel by Viktor was great, and being driven around made it so much easier to appreciate the sights while he told us about Belgium. Local Bruges guide Jay was awesome. He managed to pack in so much and listened to what we wanted to see & do, and he clearly loves Bruges (and knows everyone there). Viktor even used some extra time we had to visit the Atomium which was amazing!

The 10 Tastings of Bruges With Locals: Private Food Tour

Corey_S, Jul 2026

A great food (and beer) tour.

This was a great experience. The guide was super friendly and super knowledgable. We stopped at a fair amount of spots and really got a nice selection of Bruges food. The highlights for me were the Waffles and the Chocolates. The brewery stops were great too, but I drink a lot of beer so I had already hit those up lol. The guide also dropped some great info during our walk about the neighborhoods and the other points of interest we passed as we walked. I would definitely recommend this tour and my whole party agreed.

Guided Walking Tour of Bruges with Canal Cruise and Tastings

Juan_Z, Jul 2026

Amazing Historical Tour of Bruge

Peter Vanslambrouck was an amazing tour guide on our walking tour through Bruges. He really had the humor and expertise to explain the history and all the monuments of this amazing city. He was very exciting and entertaining throughout the tour. He took us through the square, historical district, museums, and the Belfort. The chocolate tasting portion of the tour was very nice and tasty. It was a nice added layer to the tour. Finally the tour ended on the canal with a nice boat ride through Bruge. Overall I highly recommend this tour to anyone who is looking to explore the history, culture, and canals of Bruge.

A must-do introduction to this beautiful city

Our excellent guide, Fabienne, was friendly and knowledgeable, giving lots of interesting information and recommendations for anyone visiting. The ½ hour boat trip was excellent and, being near the start of the walking tour, provided a useful introduction to places we’d later see on the walk. Thank you for a fantastic morning!

Bruges Guided Retro Biketour: Highlights, Hidden Gems & Tasting

Beth_R, Jul 2026

Wonderful tour

It is an authentically family run business. Christian was our guide and told us the fascinating, rich history of Bruge. He also sprinkled in relatable stories of his family history during the tour. We learned so much about the Burgandy’s, economics of the area over time, and how it got to be what is today. After, our group enjoyed a beer in their garden. It was a delight!

Bruges: Chocolate Workshop at Choco-Story

Carrie_M, Jul 2026

Fun experience for all ages

Going in I expected a fun, if touristy, experience and got exactly what I wanted out of it a fun hour of playing with chocolate. You have access to three types of chocolate- blonde [caramelized white], milk and dark for your base plus about a dozen options for toppings plus designs you can trace on to your chocolate - you can make as much as you want in the time given and you get to keep the apron as well. Only complaint was that the workshop area while cooler than the rest of the museum by far, it was not cool enough - the blonde chocolate in particular has trouble setting (making it a race against the clock to ensure you could take it with you) and all the chocolate lost its temper. Hardly something I'm going to deduct points for, but if you were thinking of using the blonde chocolate I'd absolutely start with that first and the chocolates may not be as shiny as you expect. All in all though, a very fun activities for all ages - the 6+ rating seems appropriate for the dexterity needed.

The Waffles 'n Beer Workshop in Bruges Centre

bjschmitt, Jul 2026

Fun time with family

We had a great time making waffles! The four of us ended up in a small class of only 7 people total. Our host had interesting stories about the beer we sampled and explained the different types of waffles. This class was recommended to us by friends who had lived in the Netherlands and taken the class before.

We had an excellent time on our tour. The instructions were very clear on where and what time to meet. Our guide was very knowledgable and friendly. This was one of our favorite days on our trip. Its such a beautiful area and the canal cruise was so picturesque. You have to eat a delicious Belgium waffle during your free time and taste some chocolate in the many different chocolate shops.

Deluxe Bruges Shore Excursion from Zeebrugge Cruise Port

Our guide Dimitra Maragkaki was absolutely amazing, very prompt starting from the day before the tour, during the whole tour including the bus ride and walking tour. She was very helpful full of information, very knowledgeable and friendly and considerate. She was constantly looking for our safety, make sure the slower walker is always catching up. A wonderful pleasant experience.

Belgian Chocolate Workshop in Bruges

Risa_K, May 2026

The chocolate workshop...

The chocolate workshop was amazing! We made delicious chocolates (filled and flat), enjoyed hot chocolate and learned about some history and some chocolate making technique. Sasha was a wonderful host and the chocolates were delicious. The place was well air conditioned, though there are steps to get in and a flight of steps to get upstairs, which may be difficult for some folks. Additionally, the workshop involved a lot of standing. We had a great time, but some folks may want to call about being downstairs for the class if the stairs are an issue.

Bruges Food Tour with Full Meal & Drinks by Do Eat Better

Effin_L, Apr 2026

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.
