Fast paced Bruges - The tour is fast paced. The guide was very experienced and thoughtful. We needed more time. We took a lot of pictures, but we don't know what they are. Tour needed more time. One day is not enough.

Don’t Miss Brugge! - It’s far but OH SO WORTH IT! Brugge is my favorite place I’ve ever been in Europe. I’m so glad we went. Getting a ticket to do the river cruise there was so fun and romantic. The bus makes a stop on the way and a stop coming back, so you can grab snacks. It’s super helpful. We also had 2 hours to ourselves in Brugge. So fun! It’s literally like walking into a fairytale. We grabbed food at The Olive. So yummy! Multiple shops with waffles and chocolate. I bought lace at the oldest lace shop. I’d go back here in a heartbeat! Gooooo!

Short and sweet - The total back-and-forth almost eight hours from Paris is worthwhile. Bruges is a medieval jewel. It’s uniquely stunning. If you choose the option that includes the boat ride, which is really nice, be aware that you might have to stand in line for about 40 minutes (depending on the time and day) to get on the boat. Forty minutes is a long time considering that you don’t have much time to spend in the city.

Bus driver was SO rude - I believe the bus drivers name was zack but I’m not sure. He was rude beyond, with very negative energy. The guides themselves were unfriendly with a don’t care attitude! Would never tour with them again!!!
