- Quai du Rosaire / Rozenhoedkaai - Your storyteller will show you the most photographed view of this medieval city and talk about why this became the postcard picture view of Bruges.

Educational and FUN ! - This 2 hour free Bruges tour was fantastic. Stephen was our guide and made it very informative and not a rush. Great history of the city and many helpful tips on restaurants and available tours. I would highly recommend the tour with Stephen , it is well worth your time. Cost is free but I tipped Stephen 25 Euro for my wife and I. Money well spent. Enjoy !!!

An absolute must on your first day in Bruges - Absolutely fantastic tour. Totally recommend it. Steven was brilliant, funny, engaging and knew so much about Bruges. He was able to keep the two children (8 and 4) engaged as well as my 15 and 19 year old children and all the adults. Well worth doing on your first day in Bruges, you get to understand some of the history of Bruges as well as receiving recommendations on many places to go, things to see, which waffle house / chocolateers etc to go to. Honest recommendations based on experience and knowledge. We went to see many of the things he recommended after the tour. I've already recommended this tour to friends heading to Bruges. Thank you Steven! It was fab!!

Nikki is a great story teller. - Nikki was a great story teller. She even incorporated few fun activities between the tour which was new for us. It really killed the monotony of walking tour and brightened up the mood of the group. I will highly recommend her.

Hardly history - If you are really interested in the history of this highly interesting city don't join this tour. Choose one with a professional city guide. If you want to hear some pretty banale stories and be given recommendations on even more banale movies and be shown spots to take fotos for your instagram account then this is for you. I'm sure some people will enjoy this, it was definitely not for me.
