Great trip from Brussels to Brugge and back - This is an excellent opportunity to spend a good amount of time in Brugge and also get a great walking tour to learn about the history of this beautiful town. Our guide, Blanca was informative, engaging, organized and very knowledgeable. As a sidenote, my husband left his phone on the bus. Of course we panicked when we got back to the hotel room, but we called Viator and the representative took an immediate action and tried to get a hold of the tour provider. We were able to contact them the next morning and the tour provider, Buendia was able to locate the phoneand we were able to leave town with my husband‘s phone, which was amazing! We initially thought about taking the train to Brugge ourselves and skipping the tour, but we were very glad we didn’t because not only was it a great way to get to and from Brugge , it was also a way to learn more about the city and have plenty of time to enjoy it.

Wonderful day trip to Bruges - Very good overview of Bruges with time to do individual experiences. The guide gave us great tips. We wound up doing the canal ride and tower climb and had a great typical Flemish meal.

Great day trip to Bruges from Brussels. - Great day trip to Bruges from Brussels. Easy to find meeting point for bus ride. Great introduction to the town and history of Bruges with Antonio. Good recommendations for lunch and places to visit during our free time. Could easily have spent several days there, but enjoyed the time we had. Thanks for making it easy, convenient, and affordable.

Great but long tour! - Great tour and Antonio was very informative. Bruges is a beautiful city and a must see. The 4 hours of time to visit the city on our own may be fine for some people but seemed a little too long for us and another couple we spoke with. We did enjoy waffles at Otto Waffle Atelier and Bruges Dot beer at the De Halve Mann Brewery. It is the oldest brewery in Bruges. A map would have been helpful with clear directions on how to get back to the meeting point since it is easy to get lost. All in all, we enjoyed the tour very much.

Well Organized. Good... - Well Organized. Good Communication. Blanca kept group informed about what to expect and gave few tips for the sites. It would be good to include few more stops for the trip as it felt it got done sooner than we were expecting, We were surprised that Boat trip was included in price, pls mention it in your details. It doesn’t say it during booking process. Good Sales pitch. Thanks

Basically, just a bus ride to and from - It was basically just a bus ride to Burges and back… Our tour guy, who was nice, only gave us about an hour tour… We really didn’t learn that much about the city… It would’ve been much cheaper just to take a bus and tour on our own…
