He knew his facts, brought along photos to enhance the tour, did an amazing job keeping our attention and answered every single question we asked. We could not have asked for a better tour or guide. Thank you Pascal! We thoroughly enjoyed every moment!

A quick visit in Bruges....wished it was longer! - Steve our guide was great. He made the tour memorable and interesting for all in the group. He had many historical facts and interesting stories. He had great recommendations for dining and places to circle back to for a longer visit. It was initially difficult to find the group, as we were told to be in front of the Burger King...and the group was actually elsewhere on the main square....but we found them!

Disappointed - Our tour guide was supposed to meet us at 11:00 a.m. but never arrived. After waiting 15 - 20 minutes we proceeded on our own.
