Amazing day trip... - Mr G is an amazing guide who gave us a lot of historical context and updates about Bruges, the various sites and suggested a place where we could first taste the pralines before buying them. We even ate at a restaurant of his recommendation and it was v good (had a rabbit dish there). The best pictures we took were on our way back as the crowds had thinned n most were exhausted! In the morning, the place is v crowded with everyone trying to secure the best spots for pics and videos. But enjoy the historic places. It's small and compact. Interesting that almost all the restaurants had the same price for the same dish! But the places in the back lanes are less crowded! There is a water fountain close to the choclate museum. You will need lots of water to keep yourself hydrated. Because the bus is non-stop to Bruges, they have a toilet on the bus. The canals are v pretty with the flowers, some have swans but most stores look similar, sell almost identical stuff. It's worth an entire day

A Fairytale Trip - Bruges was beautiful! I always wanted to see it, despite the 3-1/2 hr bus ride each way. Our tour guide, G was personable and even came around the bus to ask if we had special questions. When we arrived he guided us through the area, a walk of about a kilometer, to show us how to get to the main square. People who didn’t want to venture off on their own could meet him before departure time. The rest of us had about 3 hrs to explore the gorgeous architecture, canal boat trips and many decadent chocolate shops Our driver, G also, was cautious, prompt and we were comfortable. A great day!

The land of chocolate, waffles and beer! - The whole tour was easy to navigate. The meeting point was at the ticket booth at the Centraal Station. Our bus driver and the tour guide Ian did a fanatic job. Ian was informative and funny and made sure everyone had a good time. It’s a nice day trip! I recommend it!

You have to know her, everything very different from everything - It is a very nice city to know, walk it all, or bike, no more than 3 days with that reach and spare, very dirty by the way in the morning , we do not stay in the IBis of Amsterdam central the train terminal near the historic center of the city and it is very dirty all the time, everything flies with the wind and will stop at the canals a shame

It’s a 6 hour bus ride... - It’s a 6 hour bus ride around trip. We went there on a Saturday, also one of the hottest days of the year. It was very crowded and burning. The town was beautiful.

This is a really nice... - This is a really nice option for getting a day trip in to Bruges when staying in Amsterdam. It’s a lot of time on the bus getting to and from the town but it was a good amount of time spent in Bruges itself.
