    Jan the guide and Benjamin the bus driver were awesome. Jan is a wealth of information and very passionate about his city of Brugge. Gave us insight on where to go! Also bought us some chocolates as a treat! One word of advice: make sure you ask for bathroom breaks. Jan doesn’t appear to remember that people needed those breaks!

    Good walking tour of central and historic Bruges. The guides were knowledgeable. I recommend the canal cruise option as the boat operator provides additional insights from the water side.

    Awesome town, wish we had a couple of days here!! Great excursion from Vexperio, our guide was super knowledgeable and friendly. Some of our group did the optional canal cruise and enjoyed it quite a bit for photos they could take but a lot of the information discussed was already covered by our guide, so you decide. A LOT of walking on cobblestones, which they tell you in the description so listen to it!!!
