A photographer's dream. - Despite the initial problem of our English speaking guide calling in sick, the company came to an excellent solution. An English guide met our group at Bruges. He took us through the town and showed us the most important sights. There was an issue with the microphone system and there was a lot of static as he was speaking. Tourists need to be aware that once again they need to have coins for the public restrooms. In Bruges, it was one Euro per visit. We spent four hours there, which was perfect. For anyone wanting to do a boat trip on the canals: pre book, because the queues were long. There is plenty to see in the town if your passion is history or photography. As a person who is gluten intolerant, I found it difficult to find suitable food.

Highly recommended tour - Amazing tour of the beautiful city of Bruges! Highly recommended! The 90-minute guided tour in the city was very informative followed by enough free time to explore the city on one’s own.

Great tour beautiful place worth the price. - Meeting point was a little scattered. Hard to find guide amongst so Many others. Extra 1 euro charge for headphones if you didn’t have your own. They should have been included I. Price of your. But of a bother digging out a euro to Pay. Also arrival at Bruges had line for toilets another 1 euro charge.other than those small details out guide Jorge was fantastic! Great information and very pleasant. Perhaps he could speak a little slower so everyone could catch all the great information he was giving us. Burges was amazing town.

Guide amazing, tour a few misleading bits - Great tour, with a fab guide Hugo, who had a real personality to bring to the tour...thankyou Hugo. However a couple things hindered his excellence. The tour was English speaking not shared English and Spanish and that is OK.if you expect it but we didn't, I thought we had an a English speaking tour. The tour was not billed as radio guided and earphones which if you wear hearing aids is a potential issue, and proved to be so. Lastly the meeting place was mayhem! Please make sure that each tour guide has a placard explaining which tour they were running. We queued in 3 differed queues (english speaking bruges and ghent; then bruges only which was spanish speaking, then we found pur group! As there are sp many people gathering together its madness, and its this was simply not clear and could so easily have been. These pointers made a great trip somewhat less so. Hugo again, I must underline was amazing.
