A great way to get oriented and discover the real Bruges! - Martin's tour was a fabulous way to be introduced to Bruges! He not only showed us how to navigate around this gorgeous fairytale village, he showed us numerous hidden gems and how to find more. Martin will generously share great tips for restaurants, shops, beer and chocolates - all local establishments. We will recommend this tour and Martin to others!

Great tour! - Martin was great. Just our family of six. Youngest is 12 years old. He kept everyone involved and engaged. We really enjoyed our tour. He met us right where we were supposed to be and right on time. He recognized me from my WhatsApp account and showed up with his hand extended to shake it and say welcome.

Phenomenal! - Jay was a great guide for me. I wanted to see what a local felt were the best things about Brugge. Jay was born and raised there so not only did he show me incredible sights of the area, he seems to know everyone! I wanted to get a piece of jewelry from a local artist and Jay had friends with a shop. I bought a one-of-a-kind ring and it's a treasured keepsake. Jay goes above and beyond for his guests, shares the history of the beautiful city and shows areas that you might miss with other guides. He walks fast so have your walking shoes on but he also stopped for every picture I wanted to take so just let him know what you want to do. Great guide and a new friend.

First steps in Bruges - Ann went to great lengths to give us an overall idea of the history of Bruges and tell the story of the main buildings. It was a very interesting visit, especially at the start of the stay.

Not much of a guided tour - Unfortunately we didn’t learn much about Bruges from our guide Jeff. He mostly was talking about his personal life experiences.
