Find the hidden gems in Bruge! - Delightful walking tour of Bruge! Our guide, Lavigne, was terrific. Born in Bruge, She spoke perfect English. Warm, engaging and full of charming stories and history we could not have asked for more when I mentioned I wanted to buy some handmade lace, she called around to find some for me.

Wonderful Personal Tour - Our personal guide was wonderful! She was very knowledgeable and provided us information about Bruge’s rich history while also sharing recommendations for us at the tours end. Since this was a personal she was able to tailor the tour to our interests!

Jay is your top local guide! - Our local guide Jay was awesome! He takes great pride in Bruges and seems like everyone knows him. His knowledge is terrific, and he was very helpful with taking pictures. He brought us to a pub to experience the real Bruges and overall it was an amazing tour.

Great choice - Fantastic way to get the gist of the city. Jay (our guide) had a tough assignment as it decided to rain this day. But he not only kept us as dry as possible by adjusting the tour so that we could go into places and dry off in between walking in the rain; he really gave us an overview of what we were seeing and interesting historical details that we would never have known. He was fun, energetic, and filled with information. Plus, we were able to ask him a series of questions to which he was able to deliver informative answers. This is a great personal experience, and a great way to really get your bearings on visiting this city. We were lucky to have a guide like Jay, and would recommend this experience to anyone visiting a city for the first time.

Outstanding Private Bruges Tour with Patrick!! - Patrick was phenomenal!! He promptly met us for our 11:00 a.m. private guided tour for our family of 4. We saw the best of Bruges. He answered all of our questions and provided incredibly helpful information. Since our tour was private, he let us take the time we needed at each spot along the way and gave us tips on where to go for lunch as well as to see the Michelangelo sculpture in the church. We loved our day long visit to Bruges thanks to starting it off right with Patrick. He was the best!!

Great private tour. - Ann was a great tour guide, very knowledgeable and made a special attempt to address our particular interests (flags, architecture, etc.). She answered all our questions in depth and helped us see things we might not have otherwise seen (she noticed a short line to see relic in the Basilica of the Precious Blood, so we were able to see that.) We covered a lot of ground at a quick pace! Highly recommend this tour.

Beautiful Bruges has too much to see in a day - We do a lot of walking tours, both small/private and large groups. Typically when a local is your guide, you immediately sense both their city pride and a feeling of being welcomed. Our guide was informative and the city is a lovely place. We did feel like our questions were a mild annoyance. Overall a nice experience, but a stronger rapport might have made a difference.
