Fantastic tour - Really great tour. Our guide (wish I could remember her name) was brilliant. Funny, friendly and incredibly knowledgeable. I came to Bruges thinking there wouldn’t be an awful lot to see and do but after the tour there was lots we wanted to go back and look at. Would thoroughly recommend.

Wonderful insight to a delightful city - Wonderful tour by a great Scotsman! He was very animated and told the story of Bruges, captivating and intriguing us the entire 2 hour tour, with two kids in town. We weaved in and out of the streets, mansions and museums (outside). Through the light rain and cold weather, it was still intriguing. Really enjoyed this and highly recommend this company as your way of discovering the background and history of such a wonderful little city.
