Just do it! - Super nice tour, highly recommended. It was a tour of almost 2 hours where you sit so much more of the city than you would otherwise.

Recommended! - Maarten was a good and friendly guide. Knew a lot to tell besides the agreed information because of his interest in the city occasionally with a joke in between.

A dip in Bruges legendary word by night - Informative, a string of quircky stories and the opportunity to be led by a local by night. Would recommend to wrap up the day nicely

Absolutely worth it! - What a phenomenal evening. Our guide was Hilda and she was great. A perfect attitude and full of local knowledge. We spent 2 hours seeing sites that we would definitely have missed on our own. We contributed 40 euros and it was well worth it.

It was informative and... - It was informative and fun. Our tour guide was very entertaining. The information was more about the history of Bruges with less focus on folklore

It was OK. - Actual Tour was different than what was described in Tour description. Tour Guide Mauricio was friendly enough. He said Tour was “Horrors of Bruge” which would have been a more accurate tour title than “Dark Side of Bruge.” Was expecting more “explor[ing] the city’s centuries-old landmarks” and “highlights” than ghost and horror stories. Tour description said “ Finish at a bar where you can sip a traditional Belgian beer.” That did not happen - we were not led to a bar.
