Tour Options
Itinerary
Port of Zeebrugge
The place where we meet you at the cruise terminal! Let us know if you'd like to return here on time to get some shopping done - there's some lovely boutiques there.
Damme
An old fortress town that played an important role in transferring the cargo of mighty see vessels into smaller ships. Today a quaint and romantic whisper, known for its curious book shops. Not always on our road - but we can have a stop here if you'd like.
Lissewege
"The white town" is a pearl on Bruges' necklace. You will be amazed by its massive church tower, much bigger than you'd expect for a town with less than 2000 souls. A grand souvenir of its many wealthy visitors. We usually only drive past this place, but we can stop here for a quick walk and a fresh ale - if you'd like.
Onze-Lieve-Vrouwekerk
The highest tower in all of Bruges holds treasures beyond imagination - not simple gold or chocolate, but art that tells the story of the people. From magnificent tombs to a rare Madonna statue. If you'd like to see the art in person - you can add this into your tour!
Gruuthusemuseum
This gothic palace was built on the wealth stemming from beer! Nowadays a museum dedicated to the lives of the medieval elite. If you'd like to include the museum, feel free to ask - we can make it an add-on.
Quai du Rosaire / Rozenhoedkaai
The most picture-perfect place in all of Bruges - with view of the reflective canals, ancient facades (some not-so-ancient) and the Belfry tower. It can be busy - but we'll make sure to get you plenty of photos.
Burg Square
Once the home of our Counts, this is an old place of power. You can still feel the presence of counts, princes and mayors in the stunning architecture that surrounds this square.
Bruges
The wonderful old town that became the heart of Europe's trade in the 14th and 15th century. Nowadays known for its marvelous guild houses, churches and vibrant atmosphere. It's no accident movies like "In Bruges" or "The Monuments Men" take inspiration from this town.
The Princely Beguinage Ten Wijngaarde
A rare place where medieval women could build a life of their own - hidden behind walls of religion and regulation. Discover the impact of their presence on the life in Bruges, and why these places are so special.
Belfry of Bruges
The big bell tower that dictated the rythm of every day for our medieval ancestors - while serving as a reminder of the power and privilige they held. If you'd like to climb the tower - do ask, we can make it an add-on to your tour!
