Excellent tour! Very informative and learned things about Bruges we would not have by merely walking around. Also visited sites and areas not normally discovered by casual tourist.

The guide was very knowledgable and interesting. He covered all the main areas and moved from place to place quite fast, which we both liked. I did not want to do a tour that just hangs close to the start point. Highly enjoyable and would definitely recommend.. PS we also got EUR 3 discount vouchers for a boat tour which we used the next day.
