Great experience - Our guide, Lavigna, was knowledgeable and friendly. We had a great tour. She asked for special requests (we wanted to go to a chocolate shop) and she chose the perfect one for us.

Jay was the best guide ever! - Our tour was the best tour we have had in our many travels. Jay had a wealth of knowledge and history about the city but his exuberant personality made the tour so much more entertaining. He brought the city and its history to life! Thank you Jay!

Find the hidden gems in Bruge! - Delightful walking tour of Bruge! Our guide, Lavigne, was terrific. Born in Bruge, She spoke perfect English. Warm, engaging and full of charming stories and history we could not have asked for more when I mentioned I wanted to buy some handmade lace, she called around to find some for me.

Jay is your top local guide! - Our local guide Jay was awesome! He takes great pride in Bruges and seems like everyone knows him. His knowledge is terrific, and he was very helpful with taking pictures. He brought us to a pub to experience the real Bruges and overall it was an amazing tour.

Great choice - Fantastic way to get the gist of the city. Jay (our guide) had a tough assignment as it decided to rain this day. But he not only kept us as dry as possible by adjusting the tour so that we could go into places and dry off in between walking in the rain; he really gave us an overview of what we were seeing and interesting historical details that we would never have known. He was fun, energetic, and filled with information. Plus, we were able to ask him a series of questions to which he was able to deliver informative answers. This is a great personal experience, and a great way to really get your bearings on visiting this city. We were lucky to have a guide like Jay, and would recommend this experience to anyone visiting a city for the first time.
