Excellent option for exploring the beautiful architecture, history, culture and art of Bruges

Loved our tour of Bruges' churches with Xavier. This was such a great walking tour to learn about architecture, history, culture and art in Bruges. Xavier was incredibly knowledgeable and informative, sharing interesting stories and his passion for Bruges. We would definitely tour with Xavier again.

Hi Rhonda, thanks for the nice review. I can only completely agree with your review. The churches tell much more than any other building. I hope you had a nice time in Ghent.

Enjoyable

Xavier is super good. He is very knowledgeable, took the time to answer our questions and it felt like he planned it all at a great pace. We got to see a lot in a small amount of time and we learned a lot about Bruges. We were there as a family with teenagers (youngest 17) and after two weeks in Belgium and Netherlands he made Bruges our favorite place

More than just your local church says Xavier

We spent about 4 hours wondering around the churches of Brugge looking at their art and architecture and learning all about it. our guide, Xavier, was fantastic and very knowledgable. He was also very pleasant and chatted about many things as we walked between churches. one of our party was totally blind so Xavier went out of his way to describe the paintings, status and interior layouts for her. an excellent example of inclusiveness. At the end of the tour we shared a social beer at a local bar and this was a perfect end to a fantastic and memorable experience.

Thanks John, the pleasure was all mine during my the tour.

Highly recommend, great experience, 10/10!!!

I had decided to check out the walking tour to Bruges. I found this on viator, and it summed up exactly what I wanted to see. Tour was approximately 4 hours. My guide (Xazier) was incredibly knowledgeable, patient and listened to my own thoughts on all there was to see and even tried to test me and ask me why ans what my I own thoughts were on the art, churches and interior. The Madonna by Michaelangelo is truly worth the tour but Xavier was able to take me back in time and unearth some serious hidden gems!!! "She accepted his faith" Xavier took me to another level... 10 out of 10!!! Seán
