What better way to explore and discover Bruges than with a local by your side. Join me on a private tour where I can show you the main highlights of the city. From Bruges City Hall to the Basilica of the Holy Blood, and more. And for a local treat, a tasty chocolate tasting!
Take a leisurely car ride (AT A TIME OF YOUR CHOOSING) from and to the Cruise Terminal in Zebrugge and uncover the captivating history of Bruges, as you explore its iconic landmarks and discover hidden tales by walking its charming streets.

"Nathan from the outset was warm, friendly and incredibly knowledgeable. His passion for his home city shone through.
By the end of the tour we’d learnt a huge amount about the history, culture and delights of Bruges.
In addition he gave great recommendations for bars and restaurants.
Would certainly recommend Nathan to others."
"Our family had a phenomenal walking tour of the City of Bruges. Nathan was extremely knowledgeable and passionate about his home town. He spent time at each location ensuring we understood the historical significance of the sites and pointed out numerous hidden gems to us including the god houses. We all enjoyed our extended tour of this beautiful city with Nathan."
"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."
"We loved our private tour from Nathan. At first his English took a little getting used to but his quirky phrasing and jolly laugh became endearing. As a local he had so much knowledge of the area, offered helpful recommendations and went over and above to show us all the great parts of this beautiful city. "
"Nathan was wonderful. He catered the tour to our preference, but also told us so many interesting facts about the history of the city and its people. We feel in love with Bruges by watching the movie “In Bruges” so we came from the United States to see it firsthand. Nathan showed us where scenes from the movie were filmed and also told us things about the filming of the movie. He surpassed our expectations! Thank you, Nathan!! "
"We enjoyed our tour so much! Nathan was very knowledgeable about so many things we could have never discovered on our own.
He gave us a lot of tips to come back at certain times of day to experience some beautiful views of the city at night.
Nathan was outstanding! "
