Great day trip from Paris - Brugge is special. If your only way to visit is a day trip from Paris, then do it. It really deserves more time. Our driver , Vadim was terrific. The vans not the most comfortable for this long drive, but ok. Our guide in Brugge, Jerome, was amazing… the type of guide you always hope to get.

Amazing Day Trip! - Amazing day trip! The drive from Paris to Brugge was relatively short and pleasant. Once in Brugge we were greeted by our tour guide Gerome. The tour was great, we learned lots of history about the city and our tour guide Gerome was great throughout the entire tour. After the tour we had some free time to explore the city on our own and we were given great recommendations from our tour guide. Overall, amazing sights and great time on our tour!

Brugges should be on your bucket list! - Our guide, Jerome, was top notch! He was informative, friendly, entertaining, and provided excellent historical as well as humorous information about Brugge and the surrounding area.

No one showed up to pick us up for this tour. Didn't get to see Belgium - I wish I could give this zero stars. I can't even give a review because no one ever showed up to take us on this tour. We woke up very early, paid for an Uber to our pick up spot and stood in 40 degree weather for over an hour waiting to be picked up. No one made any attempt to contact us to let us know they weren't coming. We only made contact with them after my husband final got a hold of someone through Whatsapp. No explanation just "That's our fault. We will refund you." While I did eventually receive a refund I am still out the $25 I paid for an Uber. We were extremely disappointed. This was a part of our trip we were very excited for. I would not book this tour if you actually want to go to Belgium.
