Overall a good experience - Experience overall was brilliant. Guide was amazing and very informed. Made every part interesting. We all had a brilliant time. Only 2 downsides - we were a party of 9 and they split our group between two tours, which was a shame as we all would have preferred to be together and the boat element, the queues were very long but the guy running it signed our tickets so we could use them the next day, which we did. The boat tour was lovely and the guide was brilliant.

Beautiful tour of a beautiful town - We had a fantastic time learning about the history and culture of Bruges. The walking tour was the perfect way to see many of the sights and our guide Blanca was a fun and engaging host. She’s a total gem! The beer tasting and the boat tour were excellent additions to the walking tour and we would recommend the full package for sure!

Perfect intro to Brugges - Fun introduction to Brugges - Oscar was a great tour guide and provided a lovely overview of the history of the city as well as a great tip on what to look for when buying Belgian chocolate! We chose the beer tasting option which was a perfect way to end the tour, especially on the cold, rainy day when we visited the area.

Fun experience - The walking tour was captivating and fun brought by the guide. Meeting point could have been closer to the city, we had a hotel downtown. The boat trip (you) I would not do in combination with the walking tour anymore , you pass the same points and hear the same thing twice. The beer tasting was nice principle with coins for which you can then choose a beer. (especially useful for not real beer drinkers) For us a tasting is more that you get something like 3a4 small glasses of beer to taste.

Boo for Bruges - I have always been pleased with Viator tours but the location of the meeting place was confusing (there are several Carefours) in Bruges so we ended up missing the tour. The company actually doing the tour (Viator contracted it to) was rude and blamed it on Viator. This week Viator is changing the time of our Lourve tour messing up schedule. I will not book with them anymore as they are not what they used to be service wise.
