Enchanting Bruges - Perfect day trip to enchanting Bruges. Canal cruise lovely. Enjoyed fries and waffles. Guide, Renaud, was relaxed and helpful. Viator tour description doesn’t match actual excursion. Besides the canal cruise, no guided tour of sites - perhaps advertise as self guided tour? Arrival to Tourism France at 6:30am, left standing on sidewalk.

Great tour, fantastic guide! - Serge was our guide and he was fantastic! He was very friendly and patient, considering he had to repeat everything in Spanish and English for our group. This was our engagement trip and Serge was so thrilled about it, which made us feel extra special. The drive was a bit long but this was expected—We had a bathroom/snack break on the way there and back, so it was okay! He made sure we were all a comfortable temperature in the van. When we got to Bruges, he gave us some great history of the city, led us to our canal cruise (which was great—not too long or too short), and then walked us through the town to show us the best places to purchase chocolates, beer, waffles, etc. which was greatly appreciated. He also informed us of the classic Flemish dishes so we could experience the food culture while we were there. My only complaint is that I wish we had more time to spend wandering around Bruges! But I understand that time was pretty tight. On the drive back to Paris, Serge made a point to tell us of some of his favorite restaurants in the city to make our last couple of days as memorable as possible. He was such a great guide! I definitely recommend this tour, especially if you have the chance to have Serge as your guide!

Bruges - As others have said, this is more transport than tour. Nine people in a very cramped and uncomfortable van for four hours each way (vs the three advertised). The driver was nice enough but didn’t offer a lot of interesting information. He had a notebook to refer to but often got mixed up or confused. Bruges was lovely but very touristy. Canal ride was the nicest part but the captain had to speak in three languages and offered very little historical information. The town is essentially waffles, chocolate shops, and cafes. I should have been prepared how many tourists there would be but it was a bit overwhelming.

Loved bruge but not the guide - The guide was a jerk and a bit racist, calling me put of my name. The tour itself was very interesting and I would like to spend more time there. I loved the museums and canal trip.

Bruges transportation, NOT a tour - Unfortunately, this is not a tour. It is literally round trip transportation from Paris to Bruges. We were in a small van with six other people (four hours each way…not three as mentioned in the tour description) Bruges is lovely and worth a visit, but take the train. The driver provided zero input.

Not really a tour. It is only expensive transportation. - Don’t waist your money. Don’t get me wrong, the tour driver is very friendly and engaging but he is not a tour guide, and those were his first words starting the tour. For what we paid, we could had taken a luxury taxi and then download a walking tour guide or if I wanted to save $$, we could have taken public transportation, a local walking tour and a nice dinner in town. The river boat, is not catered for English speakers. The boat captain, will also let you know that he is not an official tour guide, he is just the captain of the boat. He share some anecdotes and stories mostly in German and French but not in English. In other words, “a waist of money and time”. We really didn’t learned much about Bruges and its rich history.
