Our tour guide was Norbert Raes. He was very informative, very patient when responding to questions, and knowledgeable of all the Bruges sites. The canal tour was wonderful and the 72 year old captain was very funny when delivering historical facts in 3 different languages. It was a great tour and we had on your own time for souvenir shopping.
