History, Chocolate, and Everything in Between
As a world traveler, I can confidently say this was by far one of the best tours I have ever been on. I highly recommend it to anyone traveling to France, who would like to add the highlights of Belgium to their itinerary. Our tour guide, Cristina, was a delight. She was highly organized and knowledgeable, and she provided us with ample information, including maps, photographs, origin stories, and so much more. When booking, I would recommend choosing the option that includes the chocolate tasting. Thank you, Amigos Tours and Cristina, for the wonderful memories. A+
Thank you Daniella.
It was a wonderful experience, we loved so much . Daniella was very nice and helpful during the whole trip. Big thank you to her and her expertise in guiding us.
Thanks to wonderful adventure to Belgium
We started our journey early in the morning and first visited Brussels, then Bruges. It was truly a magical day. Cristina and Alicia were amazing guides—friendly, energetic, and kind. They kept us informed throughout the trip with the PDFs they had thoughtfully prepared, making the journey even more enjoyable. I would also like to thank our bus driver, Antonio, for being so friendly and helpful. It was a wonderful experience from start to finish! I would also like to extend a special thanks to Cristina. She is truly a wonderful person—warm, cheerful, and exceptional at her job.
It is worth traveling, but they need to improve to offer an accessible price.
I praise the punctuality at the meeting point, the attention of the guides Cristina and Alicia, the impeccable bus, the very kind driver Antonio, and the patience and dedication in guiding the participants during the trip. To improve, they should show more places and allow people to use their time taking photos; I recommend that during the trip they provide a small brochure summarizing the history of each monument to be visited instead of using that time telling the history, which leaves one without time to take photos.
