A brilliant engaging way of getting to know Bruges ! - We loved our walking tour with Nick - he covered such a lot of fascinating history of beautiful Bruges - he made it even more interesting ( if that’s possible ) by adding personal anecdotes and humour to really engage us all - including the children on the tour . He was warm and friendly and enthusiastic and we would highly recommend booking a tour with him !

A great introduction to Bruges. - This was an excellent trip. Pascal was an enthusiastic, energetic and theatrical guide. We loved the fact that this was a “free “tour and that the fee entirely depended upon our tip. As such, Pascal worked hard to entertain us and inform us. There were 16 people on the trip, however, it did not feel crowded. Paskell provided personal interaction and included everyone in the course of the day. The entertaining stories captured the history of Bruges. We learned many things on this day.

Our guide, Arthur, was warm, witty and knowledgeable. He made the place come alive!

Bruges Tell me Stories tour and Steve the Guide - We have taken many tours through Europe and Tell Me Stories About Bruges with Steve was the BEST! No constant specific dates (as if we need to know or would remember). Instead he explained the past throughout Bruges and how it connects with today. He used a warm, interactive style that was lots of fun. We did a lot of laughing…and learned so much! Thank you, Steve!!!
