Wonderful place with a...

ELIZANGELA_G, Apr 2025

Wonderful place with a lot of history, good food and artisanal. We sent in a small group and it was much better. The only thing I would improve it is the driver/ guide tour knowledge about the city. He was super nice but he knows just the basic things about Bruges.

Response from Host, May 2025

Hello Elizang, Thank you very much for your review. We will pass your comments to the team to improve. This tour is quite famous as it takes you to discover the medieval city known as the 'Venice of the North'. If you are still in Paris or plan to return, I would recommend a dinner cruise on the Seine to see Paris from a different angle. You can also try our guided tour of the Louvre, this wonderful museum is the largest museum in the world and a must see in Paris! Thank you again for choosing us, Have a great day. Alice from France Tourisme

Fantastic experience

My husband and I were impressed with our tour guide harry. Very knowledgeable from the beginning to the end of our trip.harry was friendly and very pleasant.A definite A+ for harry. Corinne and Bobby.

Viator was quick to take our money, but did not provide what was advertised and denied any responsibility.

We were very excited to go on this tour to Bruges, but our excitement turned fairly quickly to disappointment. The "guided tour" was not as advertised. There was no tour and the "guide" was simply a van driver- and not a very good driver at that! While our “guide” was very nice, he was young and inexperienced. In fact, this was his first time "leading" this tour. He said virtually nothing the entirety of the interminable 9 hour van ride from Paris to Bruges and return. He did not even ask the group members to introduce themselves to each other! While he did answer a few questions on the way to Bruges, he did not have (or use) a microphone so only the people sitting in the front seat next to him could hear what he said. So we endured 9 silent hours in an uncomfortable van for the opportunity to wander around Bruges for 4 3/4 hours on our own - unescorted. To top it off, we were not even provided entry to the attractions that were to be included according to the published ad. For this experience the 4 of us paid nearly $800. It would have been easy for us to arrange to do this on our own for $80 each. To top this all off, I wrote to Viator with my complaints and asked for a partial refund. I was initially turned down out of hand. Their denial said that we could not get a refund after we didn't show up for the tour and didn't let them know ahead of time- a seemingly random response meant for another client since it had nothing to do with the issues I raised in my complaint letter. . So I wrote them back repeating my complaint again and providing them a very thorough and detailed explanation of how the tour we went on and paid for did not deliver what their own promotions had promised. They wrote me back the following: "As part of this review, we investigated all materials and pertinent information including (but not limited to) the product details on the tour page, your ticket, and any communications regarding this booking. Based on all available information, we regret to inform you that we are unable to issue a refund for this booking. We understand that this may not be a favorable resolution; however, we feel that all avenues have been thoroughly investigated. As such, we are unable to revisit this final decision." In summary, I would recommend against anyone ever using this company's tour packages. Not only did they fail to provide what they advertised, they took no responsibility for their failure. They do not sell their own products, but simply market local tour operators products and profit from being a middle man. This is not made clear until there is a problem and then they do not accept any wrong doing whatsoever. What a ripoff. Please beware when booking with this giant worldwide travel marketing conglomerate.

Cancelled tour

Armando_G, Jul 2021

The tour was cancelled due to the lack of people and we are waiting for the refund. We were disappointed.

This tour was misleading!

Gina_M, Sep 2019

I purchased this tour in part because it said it was guided. However, the guide who drove us from Paris to Bruges dropped us off and told us to meet back at his car in 4 hours. There was NO GUIDED TOUR even though we paid a lot more for this tour than the average cost. It was basically just a car ride. Very misleading.

Response from Host, Sep 2019

Dear Gmoos, There is a little a mistake on name of this service and we are sorry for the inconvenience. The Bruges trip is not "guided", we will fix this situation right now. Otherwise, our price for this trip is lowest on the market.
