Fantastic stories, best time learning the history of Bruges!! Thank you Guiding Dutchman, Pascal!! - We had a fantastic time on the 1000 Years of Stories walking tour in Bruges! Pascal, (the Guiding Dutchman), our guide, brought the city’s history to life with his amazing storytelling. He pointed out stunning buildings and hidden details we never would have noticed on our own. His sense of humor made the 2.5 hours fly by—we enjoyed every minute and would gladly do it again. Highly recommended!

The Best Bruges Guided Walking Tour - From the moment we met Gosia, our tour guide, we knew the tour would be good. Her energy, passion and knowledge of Bruges makes for an interesting, informative and very entertaining tour. The two hours passed so quickly and we left with lots of tips of places to see, things to do and the all important food and beer recommendations. Thank you Gosia 😊

Best tour ever! 🙌🏻 - Today, my sisters and I took Alasdairs tour of Bruges. We have taken many guided tours in various different cities, but honestly, we never had such a wonderful tour as today with Alasdair. He is extremely knowledgable, witty, hospitable and a great story teller. We heard countless fascinating stories and facts about Bruges, he made the city and its past come alive for us. Thank you so much! Don’t hesitate to take this tour, you will have such an enjoyable and enriching experience!
