Very interesting

We went on a night walking tour “the Dark side of Bruges”. Our guide Mr. Martin explained everything in a very good manner and we really enjoyed his way of explanation. No boredom and he took us through the tail which is not usual. We enjoyed it a lot.. I will definitely recommend this tour and especially Mr. Martin.

Be a tourist but walk as a local

Excellent willingness of our guide Beatrice to teach us and tell us about the whole city. We walk a lot in not so crowded parts. I recommend it

10/10 - would recommend!

Enjoyed a very informative and engaging tour with Mauricio! Definitely recommend - was nice to explore the lesser known parts of the city and unique aspects of history. Walked away with a lot more information than expected.
