Great evening tour, especially as it was a couple of degrees cooler from the heatwave. Martin was our tour guide and, against the odds, he managed to relocate us all perfectly and on time due to Club Brugge’s celebrations in Markt Square! The tour lasted nearly two hours. It was a really comfortable, steady walk in the heat. Martin was very knowledgeable, funny and an excellent storyteller. Great tales of the Dark Side of Bruges and its history. The tips based fee is a great idea as it makes it accessible for all. Go through Legends website itself or you’ll pay a fee to a platform that the guides don’t see a penny of. Highly recommend this tour.
Guide demanded money at start of trip wanted 50 euro per person never known anything like it. Tour was not exciting anyway
We went on a night walking tour “the Dark side of Bruges”. Our guide Mr. Martin explained everything in a very good manner and we really enjoyed his way of explanation. No boredom and he took us through the tail which is not usual. We enjoyed it a lot.. I will definitely recommend this tour and especially Mr. Martin.
Excellent willingness of our guide Beatrice to teach us and tell us about the whole city. We walk a lot in not so crowded parts. I recommend it
Cool stories, off tourist routes. A completely different view of Bruges! Thank you Martin! Just perfect!!
Enjoyed a very informative and engaging tour with Mauricio! Definitely recommend - was nice to explore the lesser known parts of the city and unique aspects of history. Walked away with a lot more information than expected.
I joined Martin's dark side of Bruges tour, It was a good tour, he had lots of local knowledge which I enjoyed learning about
Martin is genuinely the best tour guide i have ever had, he is knowledgeable, funny, kind and most importantly, truly passionate about Brugge. I would definitely do this again
Although it was quite cold in January, Brugge is a beautiful city by night. Louis is a great guide and told us a lot of interesting stories about the city and its history.
We thought we'd do the night tour as there were the Christmas light display going on at the same time. Astrid was out guide and was superb mixing history with humour. The walk takes about 90 minutes and you can get a "free" beer at the end.
