"Hugo was knowledgeable, interesting, and charming. He shares his love of Brugge through stories of the city’s history with humor. He is easy to get along with and patient with questions and taking photos. He had great recommendations for everything from parking to eating to shopping. There’s no question for us: when we go to Brugge, we go with Hugo!"
"Igor has a background in history and archaeology, and I felt like we were walking around with a professor learning about history, art, and geography in real time. He was accommodating to our timing (and stopping for excellent snacks) while providing nonstop information and storytelling about Bruges from the Celtics all the way through the 1970s. A great way to get a crash course in a fantastic town."
"We had an absolutely wonderful time exploring Ghent with Benedikt! Over the course of three hours, he managed to show us many hidden gems and share fascinating stories that made the city truly come alive. His passion for Ghent was infectious, and his warmth, humor, and ability to connect with all of us made it an amazing experience. He even brought us some specific candy from Ghent (‘red noses’) and treated us to some artisanal chocolates in one of the nicest chocolate shops of Ghent. It was the perfect mix of history, fun facts, and local charm. Benedikt is genuinely a very nice guy, thank you for an unforgettable visit to Ghent. Best wishes, Hanif "
"My travel companions and I only had one short day in Bruges. We decided to book Xavier’s Highlights and Hidden Gems walking tour so that we could really see as much as we could of this beautiful city. Xavier is charming, kind, and knowledgeable about his home town. He modified our tour to fit our needs and desires. This trip was our first into Belgium (3 cities in 3 days) and served a reconnaissance mission for future trips. We will most definitely be back to spend more time in Bruges thanks to Xavier. We will be wanting to book other tours with him at that time. Highly recommend! "
"Had a great time with Benedikt- gave us a fascinating, entertaining and informative tour around Ghent. A great experience- thanks so much! Peace and Love from The Mystical Lamb!! LOL "
"Hilde is a fantastic tour guide. She is very knowledgeable and we thoroughly enjoyed our time spent with her. You will not be disappointed with her overview tour and will most likely leave with chocolates in hand! Well done Hilde, it was a pleasure! "
"Lavigne was a wonderful guide. We truly loved our time with her. She was so informative and we were able to see the highlights of the city even though the crowds were massive due to her knowledge of the back streets. I would highly recommend her!"
"Had an exceptional tour with Lavigna - knowledgeable and friendly and full of interesting information about historic and beautiful Bruges. Lavigna also shared recommendations including the best chocolate shops (very delicious) and we visited several impressive historical sites around the town. A delightful guide I would strongly recommend Lavigna for a tour in Bruges. "
"Igor really enlightened us with his knowledge of history about the town of Bruges. He showed us much of this beautiful town. I would highly recommend him as a guide!!"
