Our tour guide was Nick. We had a brilliant two hours. Really informative, fun and humorous. The time flew past. Massively recommend this tour to anyone looking to get an understanding of the history of Bruges as well as getting your orientation in the city. A big additional bonus were all of Nick's recommendations about the best places to eat, drink and visit during the rest of our stay which we put to good use!

Full description

A 1000 years of stories brought to you by a local storyteller. Travel back to the middle ages and imagine how life was when Bruges was the richest city in the world. On our walk through the medieval heart of Bruges, we will tell you about our Golden Ages. But also how we became the poorest city of Belgium afterwards and why we are once more flourishing as a city. We'll share our stories about love and conflict, architecture and wealth, why we like neither the French nor Dutch, but also about feminism and finance, and of course, tell you about chocolate and beer. Our guides have their personal stories and route, but you'll definitely see: - Market Square - Burg Square - Rosary Quay: the most photographed view of Bruges - St. Boniface Bridge (also known as the Bridge of Love) - St. John's Hospital - Church of Our Lady

Includes

  • Local English speaking storyteller
  • Tips & recommendations for Bruges and discounts at local businesses
  • Gratuities: Our guides are independent storytellers, artists and tour guides, we encourage you to value their time & knowledge
