This was a last minute plan as my daytime tour was cancelled and I’m glad I did! Arthur was a fantastic tour guide! Lots of interesting history about Bruges and the darker side of the city. He was a lot of fun! Very enjoyable tour!
While in Bruges, I did a walking tour and a boat tour, but this nighttime walking tour was the best of all! The streets were quiet, the canals were magical and the stories delightful.
Arthur is a great storyteller. Brugge at night is beautiful, and he will take you to parts of the city not seen on most tours. Wear comfortable shoes!
Pascal was a great guide who went above and beyond to keep the tour interesting and fun. We visited parts of Bruges that we didn’t see on any other tour!
Arthur, our guide, was incredible! His knowledge of the takes of torture, history and the city made this our favorite Brugges tour. He made it inclusive of all, happily answered any queries and had a zeal for Brugges and sharing its darker side in times past (and creepily present?)!
Arthur was fantastic! Was a great evening for everyone of all ages. Highly recommend.. He was so knowledgable and held the kids attention so well considering how tire they were and how late it was for them!
Our guide was awesome! He was knowledgeable, friendly and engaging. He explained the history of Bruges and was open to questions and feedback! Very enjoyable!!
Very disappointed it was advertised as Bruges at Night: Murder, Mystery & Dark Stories Small Group Walk.
What we actually got was a history tour around Bruges, advised for 2 - 2.5 hrs it took 3 hours to complete, not stop to visiting the toilet. the guide was very knowledgeable and enthusiastic but not as advertised. We were left disappointed
Our guide Arthur walked us around the streets of central Bruge into less "touristy" places to share information and interesting stories of Bruge history. Our guide was engaging and well prepared. An entertaining and engaging evening activity.
Bit misleading title. It felt like a normal tour done at night, which is terrible since it’s so cold. Sure, the guide was funny but the made up stories are a bit silly. Not enough murder or mystery to justify this.
Our tour guide was very immersive and kept us entertained the entire time. He was a great story teller. Very personable, funny, witty, detail oriented and knowledgeable!
Andy was fun and quite the historian. He kept us fully entertained and we saw a part of Brugge that most visitors would never see.
Superb night tour so worth the money
Pasqual was very animated and full of interesting information
Best guide I have ever been on . Brugge is so beautiful.
Great story telling and history. Super informative and just the right amount of time to have a night cap afterwards. Bruges is so quiet and beautiful after dark!
Exceptional tour. Showed us the parts of Bruges you do not see on the other tours with a flair. Martin was superb.
Arthur was a magnificent tour guide. One of the best we've ever met! Wonderful experience and truly well told. Thanks, Arthur!
This is a great walking tour that highlights Bruges at night. While it was very entertaining, the focus of the tour was more on local history and not quite as much on "murder, mystery, and dark stories." Still worth it to experience Bruges at night with a local.
Andy was a great tour guide! Full of energy and whimsy stories. Took us off the beaten path to parts of the city we hadn’t experienced before.
Loved Pascal the guide! So energetic and gets into amazing stories! 10/10 experience Would definitely recommend for the first stay in Brugge!
We had such a nice experience the tour guide was the best and so friendly and had so many good stories to share with us.
A very fun activity. Our guide was very knowledgeable and personable. This history of the town with the added mystery was great,
Great fun walk at night filled with interesting stories and information. So glad I signed up to experience.
Sophie our guide was fantastic. She was incredibly knowledgeable about the history of Bruges and was very engaging and entertaining. We enjoyed our tour very much and she provided some other wonderful locations we otherwise would not discovered on our own .
Response from Host, Dec 2025
So happy to hear that 😊 thanks for taking the time to share it! Sofie will be thrilled to read this. Her mix of deep local knowledge and engaging storytelling really makes those night tours special, and it’s great to hear she helped you discover places you might’ve missed otherwise. Glad you enjoyed every part of it!
Pascal provided a great tour, shared wonderful historical insights/information, and told amazing stories with a theatrical flare. I just recommend being prepared for the weather as the whole tour is outside.
Excellent tour. The guide was very good and knowledgeable
She also pointed out a number of areas that could be visited during the day.
This tour was okay and the stories were interesting. Nothing that I would rave about though and probably not likely to remember very much. Appreciated the tour guide persisting in the rain
This was an intriguing, delightful tour full of hidden gems & city history. Our guide, Pascal, was engaging, humorous and passionate about sharing the secrets of this beautiful city. You absolutely must do this tour! You won’t be disappointed.
Guide was well versed and interesting. It was raining so the experience was reduced
Many interesting and unique stories
Great tour around Bruges, approx. 2 and a half hours long with plenty of recommendations for places to visit. Our guide Pascal was brilliant, really engaging and made the whole experience, such good fun.
Pascal was fun, energetic and very knowledgeable of the city and its history! I had been to the city on several occasions but this was my first time as a solo traveler. This tour is perfect for all group sizes and especially for solo Travelers. I learned a lot about the city and its history and have a new appreciation for the buildings and their beauty. Will definitely book again when I visit the city again.
