Thus, the most correct translation would mean translating the word minne as “common”, since these were the “common waters, community waters, everyone’s water” since it was where the old port of Bruges was located, a site closely linked to the city and the daily life of its citizens.

Easy Going Tour! - Great walking tour with a lot of entertaining and interesting information. A tremendous amount of behind the scenes information! While there was a lot of information, it wasn't overwhelming and I never felt hurried..

Amazing Discovery Walking Tour with Maria - We arrived in Brugge without much of a touring plan after an 8 day bike tour in Germany and France. I googled and found the tour with Maria the evening before and reserved for our group of 5. It was perfect! We enjoyed walking around Brugge with Maria's expertise and knowledge that we would not have found on our own, such as the Beguinage. The ability to take the canal ride and beer tasting on our own schedule was perfect, as we grabbed lunch at a restaurant Maria recommended and then resumed with the boat and beer! We'd highly recommend Maria- she is knowledgeable and engaging and made our trip very special!

Excellent sights, Excellent Guide, Enough Said! - We visited Bruges for a short stay and booked this trip as one that would give us a good introduction to the city, and that it did excellently!
I particularly liked the depth of knowledge and obvious enthusiasm for the city.
I also liked the fact that you could take the included boat trip and beer experience at any time after the walking tour, as we valued testing our tired legs before doing so!
