"Ann was just the perfect body für USA ad a family of four including two kids 11 and 9 years of age. As a talent in all - multi lingual and expert in history, local secrets and culinary gems - Ann made our stay in Brügge a wonderful adventure in all of the above.
Thank you very much again from here,
Best wishes, we will die be back

"Ann was a great guide for my family of four, including 2 teens. She shared history, culture, and great food with us during our 3 hour tour together. She even brought us some delicious chocolate from a favorite local shop, and helped us find a holiday ornament too. Highly recommend touring with Ann!"
"We had a wonderful private tour with Martin who shared all things Bruges with us! A combination of history, anecdotes, culture, and food tastings provided a great introduction to our stay in Bruges. Martin was interesting and made history come alive. Would highly recommend!!"
"We loved our private bike tour of Brugge with Phillipe! He was friendly and knowledgeable. We didn’t have any idea what we wanted to see and do, so he started with some history of the city. We loved how he interspersed his own experiences living there with information about the history and culture. We felt like this was a great way to see sights while avoiding some of the crowds. We got to see many parts of the city that we never would have on our own. We came back the next day to further explore some of the sites that he shared with us. We highly recommend Philippe’s private bike tour!"
"The tour was so much fun. Lavigna was informative and made the history of Belgium interesting. She was enjoyable and we had a good time. "

A wonderful experience
"Thank you Artur for such a wonder time. Your knowledge, experience, and professionalism were amazing. We enjoyed every tasting and look forward to our next visit to Bruges!"
"This is a great tour with a great guide. Learned so much about the city in our two hour walk. We even had time to have a beer at the local brewery. Highly recommend this tour."
"My husband and I were spending two nights in Bruges, and we wanted to explore the area with a local to see parts of Bruges that we might otherwise miss, learn more about the history of the city, and of course taste some of its specialties. We arrived at the meeting point about ten minutes early, and Tom was already there waiting for us. Tom took us all over Bruges, showed us landmarks and explained so much history with great stories. He was very engaging, and also very patient with my many stops to take photos. Tom offered us a nice variety of local foods and drinks to sample. We really enjoyed them all, but our favorite tasting stops were the chocolatier and the brewery. All-in-all, I would say that our tour of Bruges made for an absolutely perfect afternoon. Thank you again for the fantastic tour, Tom!"
