Excellent tour - our gide was friendly knowledgeable and professional - My mother and I had a blast following our guide trough the different parts of the historic city. He certainly knew what he was talking about and very accepting to answer any additional questions we had. Highly recommend.

Fantastic tour by lovely guide- highly recommend! - I went on this tour and Roel (sorry if I cannot spell your name correctly) was our guide. It was just my party of three people and one other so a very small group- excellent for being able to hear and ask questions!
The tour took us to so many of the sights I had wanted to visit, with really interesting information on the history of each site as well as contemporary recommendations to make the rest of our visit superb. We all had an excellent time and my friends both said this was the best city walking tour they had been on. Could not recommend more highly

Wonderful tour - My husband, daughter and I had a private tour with Mika, (? - I'm sorry but I am blanking on her name), and it was the best. A long time resident of Bruges, (born and raised), she knew everything there is to know about the place, and showed us a true behind-the-scenes tour. We loved her knowledge of history and architecture and ability to teach us how power, religion and money all intersected to create Bruges - past and present. We had a full two hours of walking, talking and learning. Our guide also gave us great recommendations at the end for food, drink, chocolate and waffles. You could tell that she had been a teacher all her life and that helping others learn is her passion.
The only thing I would do differently is start our time in Bruges with the tour instead of ending it with one. We waited a full day, and it would have really helped us to enjoy our time there better to learn on the front end. So, get the tour first and enjoy!

Well worth it! - I really enjoyed the tour. Sabrina, the guide, was informative and imparted her love of Bruges through anecdotes and facts. We went to places I would not ordinarily visit or know about through reading. The tour was also small enough so we could interact with each other as well as the guide. Great job.

Fantastic walking tour - My mom and are thoroughly enjoyed our walking tour with Sabine. She gave us a lot of sneak peaks, funny jokes and great insights into the history of the past and present of Brugge. Would highly recommend this tour . Afterwards, she gave us a great restaurant recommendation a little off the tourist path with great local fare in a cozy little pub.

A lovely & informative tour - This tour was recommended by our Airbnb host and it was a wonderful way to learn more about Bruges. Our guide was very knowledgeable and friendly, and took us on routes away from the crowds, which made for a very pleasant tour and we could appreciate Bruges from an interesting perspective not offered by other touristic activities.

A wonderful experience! - - We really enjoyed how you pointed out the little details, like the statues of the Virgin Mary throughout Bruges;
- We also really enjoyed all the historical fun facts, like the Lake of Love probably being a mistranslation;
- It was great that wherever possible you guided us away from the crowds - we got to see parts of Bruges we wouldn't have seen otherwise and it was also quieter and more pleasant than out on the main streets;
- The additional props like photographs and maps were really interesting;
- We really appreciated your advice on what other tours to take (we did the boat tour and it was great!) and where to eat;
- Getting a drink at the Historium afterwards was fun, it's a great location;
- It was nice to have a smaller group (though I realise that may not always be possible!);
- We felt you were always really informative and friendly, and overall it was a wonderful experience!
