Great tour with canal cruise - We had a nice experience with Xavier. He is very knowledgeable and very friendly. With the tour we got a complete overview of the highlights and hidden gems of the city and as a bonus we could finish with a nice canal cruise. The weather was nice and with the information of the guide we could much more enjoy the canal cruise. Thank for the great tour Xavier!

Great Way to Get a Sample of the City Sites - Our tour guide met us at the Historium in the Markt. We visited Markt Square, De Burg, Basilica of the Holy Blood, Vismarkt, a Gothic Mansion, Arentshoff, Gruuthesemuseum, a brewery, Beguinage, canal tour and stopped into a chocolate shop for samples. Our tour guide grew up and lives in Bruges. He was very knowledgeable and had interesting stories to tell us about the city of Bruges. Our favorite part was the canal tour. Seeing Bruges from a different view point was wonderful. It was a beautiful sunny day and we loved the water views.

Overpriced tour for a rainy day - canal boat not private - $400 USD is a lot for a city tour, but we decided to purchase it because we thought it included a private canal boat ride. The promotional photo also showed a boat with few passengers, suggesting a private intimate experience. In reality, the “private boat” portion meant that standard €15 tickets were purchased for us — so roughly 90% of the cost was for the company fee and guide (or $150/hour). Unfortunately, the boats weren’t operating due to rain, so our 3hr tour became a 2.5-hour walking inside tour instead, covering the City Hall and the Church of Our Lady (both €8 each). Our guide was knowledgeable and pleasant, and we heard interesting stories about history and architecture but overall, we found this tour quite overpriced compared to other private walking tours we’ve enjoyed and appreciated throughout Europe.
