Amazing Brugge Tour with Maggie and Josy We had a really nice and interesting tour through Brugge guided by Maggie and Josy. The hole day was such a great experience for me and my friends! We will recommend this tour to our friends and family and are extremely happy that we decide to book this tour. Brugge is such a beautiful city and Maggie showed us the best places and told us really cool facts!
Excellent Day Trip to Bruges - Outstanding Guide Fraser was our guide on this all day tour and he was an excellent guide. Very knowledgeable and sensitive to our needs as travelers, I definitely felt like we got the most out of our time in Bruges. I would certainly recommend this tour, and Fraser in particular.
We had Senna as our tour guide in Bruges - very good value tour considering a train return would cost you 30 euros normally anyway from Brussels. The town is beautiful and Senna was very enthusiastic and knowledgeable. Would highly recommend, mixed humour and history very well!
We spent an amazing day in Brugge with Laszlo. We learned so much about the town and the history of it, as well as the country! Laszlo was a lot of fun and very knowledgeable. Would recommend this tour to anyone.
