THE Storytelling Tour of Bruges | First Day Must | History & Tips
Description
We don't offer ordinary tours. Passionate local storytellers will use stories to make history come to life to give you a good insight into how life must have been in medieval Bruges. There's no set route. All of the storytellers have their own personal highlights for you and will adapt those to the group. So the more questions and input you give them, the better your experience will get.

Late nearly 30 minutes. The stand in guide while enthusiastic explained things in very basic way. Disappointed.
Amazing walking tour, our tour guide was amazing, provided us with lots of history about the city, kept things fun and easy going. I would have given this 5 starts but taking one off as our tour started 30 minute late due to no show initially. Definately give them a chance :)
Bruges has always been my favorite city and I wanted to somehow unravel its story and secrets. That's when I found this tour and it was the best decision. Our guide Arthur was really into the storytelling with his funny jabs, quirky enactment, and flawless storytelling. At the end of the day, we ended up tasting much of Bruges, seeing the unseen, and hearing great history and myths from the past. I know Bruges better now. Highly recommended.
This is a great intro to Bruges. I really appreciated that they offered a later option to give a non-morning tour option as it took us a while to get there from The Netherlands. Alastair was our guide, and he was amazing. Funny. Entertaining. Full of great insight. Highly recommend.
Not the best tour we have done. poor communicator, so not much historical detail and failed attempts at humour. The guide said he was going to show us what made him fall in love with Bruges, but that failed to come across.
The tour with Pascal was super interessant and funny! Highly recommended
Alastair was an excellent guide. Funny. Entertaining. I highly recommend this tour.
Never got to go, the guide was not at designated place. We waited 20 minutes and kept checking the area in the market square. Nowhere to be found! I got an email to join a tour at 5pm, but we had dinner reservations at 7. The email was at 5
Hi Linda! Our guide was at the designated place (right in front of the Belfry Tower), with the designated item (yellow umbrella) which stands out on a sunny day with no rain. 10 other people booked onto the same tour had no problem finding him.
We had a great tour with Joachim. We not only saw a lot, but also learned a ton of stories and background information about Bruges. Very entertaining and highly recommended.
Very detailed tour guided with charismatic and knowledgeable tour guide Arthur. Highly recommend tour!
