Great time and excellent tour with Nico - I had a fantastic tour with Nico aka Peter but we don't mention him 🤭 I didn't book a tour, since I didn't know and he was so nice and open to take me with him and it was well worth the time and the tip. He did such a great job explaining everything and every detail and even did some jokes on all of us. I had a really good time with him. The tip was well deserved in my opinion. Thanks to him I understood some more from my neighbor country and he included some historic from Europe in general. Well spend good 2.5h with him. Thanks for that ☺️

Good experience, might be too crowded - I would totally recommend the tour. I’ve taken other tours with this company and, until now, they have been really good experiences. The only thing I didn’t like is that apparently, the day I did the tour in Brugge, there was a problem with the the bookings. There was too many people in our group, and it was difficult to listen and follow the stories sometimes. However, the tour guide (Victoria) made it work and I still enjoyed the tour a lot. She also gave us recommendations to visit around the city.
