What does Minnewater mean? This is the Dutch name for the lake which is made up of two Dutch words: minne, which means both "common" and "love", and water, which means "water". Thus, the most correct translation would involve translating the word minne as "common" since these were the "common waters, community waters, everyone's water" since it was where the old port of Bruges was located, a linked site very closely to the city and the daily life of its citizens.
The beguinage is one of the most representative complexes in Bruges, a prelude to what you will find in this magical city, an environment anchored in the Middle Ages immersed in a sea of tranquility. It is also declared by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site.

Beatrice: A passionate guide for your work. Very good communicator Great knowledge of the site and its history We will repeat
Thanks for giving us your feedback and cheering the team! We hope you to have you back with us in your trips and enjoy with our tours around the world. Kind regards, the Buendía Team
We usually choose another Freetour company, but they didn't have it in this town. We had read good reviews of this company and decided on them. The tour, like everyone else, starts at the Markt, or central square where the Belfort or bell tower is. The tour lasts approximately two hours. You go through the center and the guide will explain a little of the history of the city, along with fun stories. Visits of Burg, Huidenvettersplein, Rozenhoedkaai, Bonifacius-Brug, etc. Not bad, but I can't say it was one of the best I've ever done either.
I had booked with another agency and we were late for not finding parking. We found Diogo, a Portuguese boy who took us in. It was a small group, explained everything very well, without looking for the easy joke. Highly recommended.
We did the tour with Jesús de Buendía Tours and loved it. It flew past us! He explained both the story and various curiosities very well. Highly recommended to do it with it.
Great choice to get to know the most emblematic places and stories of Bruges.Diego was a great guide, and the city of Bruges is beautiful.
On the 8th we did a freetour in Bruges with our guide Agnes. The experience of 10, keeping the attention of children and older from minute 1. Dynamic and understood as well as friendly. Made it very enjoyable
We have made the visit to Bruges with Agnes and it has been great, for Agnes’ enthusiasm about this beautiful city for his knowledge of it and for its kindness and simplicity. We were traveling with children and we had the doubt of whether to do free tour or not!, But Inés won them from minute 1 making them participate and that made us enjoy it much more .. of course highly recommended!!
Ines is a machine!! 10/10, impossible to be better. It made everything very enjoyable and fun. We learned a lot
We were touched by a guide who seemed to not have much experience and did not know much about the history of the city. We expected more information about Bruges and its corners! We were very disappointed not to be able to know a little more the history behind such a beautiful city!
Hola, Lamentamos mucho que el tour no haya sido de su agrado. Nuestros guías son profesionales y llevan meses, algunos años, haciendo la visita. Al hacer el recorrido se esfuerzan por satisfacer un poco a todos los clientes, aportando información y haciendo un tour ameno y divertido al mismo tiempo. Esperamos que en otra ocasión disfrute más de la experiencia.
We have done a walk of more than two and a half hours with Ana, an Asturian, very knowledgeable and who expressed all her knowledge with great passion, of those that makes you involved in the discourse. She really is a very good communicator. Despite the very cold weather (about -2 degrees) she has been able to make the whole group stay with her. Besides, she has done us a favor, because we had not previously booked and after talking to her she has let us join. Undoubtedly, an Enterprise to repeat and do more tours with them.
