Amazing journey - We had a great time with Xavier. He is really knowledgeable. Also we were very happy to make the choice to discover the city centre by bike. Because of that we discovered things we would have never have seen discovering the city on foot. Thanks Xavier!

Bike Tour in Bruges - Xavier Meurisse was an excellent guide. What a wonderful city it is which Xavier knows so well. Our tour was well managed & in a morning my wife & I believe we saw the best as well places that most tourists would not see. Xavier’s enthusiasm for his city was infectious. We have no hesitation in recommending him to others.

Not happy Jan! - Already unhappy about poor communication with Crusade and Trip advisors systems. We waited for 20 minutes for our guide to arrive, having walked for 25 minutes to get to the meet point, when we received a text message to say that the tour was canceled due to illness. Poor communication and customer service.
