Arthur was wonderful. Very knowledgeable and personable. Would highly recommend. 2 hours of walking but very enjoyable !
My guide was Maria who was the most knowledgeable and enthusiastic person I have ever had the pleasure of meeting. Her love of Brugge was infectious. She is bubbly and friendly and so very helpful. Maria made the tour very very enjoyable
Fun time with Steven as he shared his knowledge of Bruges culture & history through waffles, beer & chocolate on this walking tour. A generous sprinkling of war, taxes & religion to illustrate the evolution of the city & people of Bruges. Finished with balloon creations! An interesting & eclectic mix delivered with charm & enthusiasm ❤️
The group was too big. Due to the late booking we were the rejected family. We could maybe join another group but had to arrange that ourselves instead of our guide. The fun was already over. Very unfortunate.
I'm sorry you had a bad experience with us. It was a really busy day and we couldn't help you more but recommending you next tour.
Pascal our guide was brilliant, highly animated and descriptive and kept adults and our 3 children engaged and it was wonderful to hear the history of Bruges in a fun and entertaining way.
Thank you for giving us a 5 star review! I'm glad you and your children loved this tour :)
Steven was funny and very well informed of the city. We thoroughly enjoyed our tour! He made us laugh and included everyone
Thank you for your best review!😎🙏
The guide was knowledgeable, engaging, and full of helpful visitor info as we made our way through the streets. Great tour!
I’m glad that you loved our tour ❤️
This was a really fun tour! Recommend it highly. We loved the waffle and chocolate samples.
It was nice to see you in Bruges!🥂❤️
We took our tour with Steve [who's daughter works at Lego ;)] and couldn't be happier. He was super knowledgeable about the city and was overflowing with fun facts about the most curious things. The free samples were also amazing. The chocolate tasting was hands down one of the best chocolates I've ever had. We definitely recommend!
Thank you for enjoying the tour together! It was nice to host you in Bruges 🤓👋
Don't hesitate to book this fantastic, detailed and amusing tour with Steven (probably) the best tour guide in Bruges! We learned so many things and were taken to places we would not have found alone and everyone had a starring role in Steven's tour Thank you very much, it was such good fun 🙏
Thanks for such a great review! 🥂
