Inga the guide was great however this is nowhere near a premium culinary tour and certainly not value for money. Standing in the street in the rain. No table reservations Only 1 drink. Sharing frites and 1 chocolate each summed it up. We have done these tours across many cities in Europe and this was by far the most disappointing we have ever done. Maybe Bruges should just not try and offer this type of tour.
Hi Stephen, thanks for your review. We are very disappointed you were not happy with the tour. Giving the best experience is our main goal during the tour. The tour is an outside experience where we sit inside at 2 stops. The tastings are also a tastings of Belgian products served from local shops. This is a part the experience being close to the product. The culinary tour is unfortunately not a sequence of dishes where serve Belgian cuisine. As indeed mentioned Bruges had not the accommodation for that kind of tours. I suggest when you book a tour you first read the itinerary before the tour to avoid disappointment. Have a nice day and thank you for your trust.
Xavier was extremely knowledgeable. The private tour captured the hidden jewels of Bruges. We were well taken care of, and the food choices were perfect! We hope to return with our family.
Thanks Eugenie; always welcome.
Xavier was a very good guide. The tour is geared towards foodies, and stresses quality over quantity. Order of tastings are presented as courses of a meal, which results in some extra walking. We especially appreciated the neighborhood cheese shop. I would suggest that the host bring (or you bring yourself) some cut pieces of baguette and a bottle of water to cleanse your palate between the tastings. Be aware that many of the tasting visits require you to stand outside on the street.
Hi Joseph, thanks for your comment.
Our guide was very knowledgeable both about the food we were enjoying and the city itself. In addition to sharing information about the food itself he provided a ton of interesting information about Bruges and its history. Would definitely recommend.
We had a nice day and tasted many specialties and learned a lot about them. Thanks again. Definitely a day to look back on.
Bedankt voor de review Sjoerd. Hou je goed.
Xavier was an extremely good, funny and competent guide. We had a great afternoon with him. Thank you very much for that!
Vielen Dank
It was a nice way to explore Bruges. It is not commercial and is very relaxed. The delicacies of Bruges/Belgium tasted in a unique way. Visited small tents that specialized in cheese, fish and meats. Xavier tells beautiful background stories of the background of Bruges. Had a very nice afternoon.
Dag Yuri, bedankt voor de beoordeling. Leuk dat jullie een fijne namiddag hebben gehad.
Knowledgeable and personable tour guide. Xavier took us to places that weren’t highlighted in tour guides. Exactly what we wanted.
Xavier our tour guide was so passionate and knowledged. We had a 6 star experience! The local shops, history and explanations were so wonderful to enrich our experience in the city. We felt this was the best tour out of all 7 we took on this trip. Highly recommend!
Hi Tasha, thanks for your response. I'm happy to hear that the tour meets the standards that I have in mind. Many thanks again and enjoy your stay.
Nice tour and visited nice hidden shops. This way you can visit places that you would otherwise not visit. Nice conversations and interesting stories. Some critical note, the guide gave his opinion that a certain store sold the “best chocolate” (for example), but did not substantiate this.
Dag Robin, bedankt voor je reactie. Mijn mening over de beste chocolade winkel is mijn persoonlijke mening gebaseerd op basis van mijn ervaring. De claim op beste chocolade winkel is altijd subjectief en past binnen het concept van echte Brugse chocolade winkels.
