"Jay was entertaining, a font of historical knowledge and knew everyone in town. The tour was masterfully choreographed as we wove our way through the center of town with frequent stops for tasty treats including excellent beer. It was a great afternoon!"
"Hugo made sure to understand my interests and expectations so that he could customize the tour appropriately. We visited 3 unique beer cafes, each with great character/charm, each further removed from traditional tourist areas and each older. Got to have multiple beers and taste even more across a broad spectrum of tastes and styles. Learned a lot about Belgian beer and life in Bruges."
"We had a great time with Jay. He was funny and informative. He gave us a lot of history while treating us to some really yummy bites of Bruges . The beer was delicious as well. I called him the unofficial mayor, as many people greeted him and he took us places that only he knows about. Highly recommend."
"It was great to finally meet Patrick in person after having met him virtually on a walking tour of Bruges during the pandemic!
Patrick was responsive to questions from the start and helped us land on this amazing tasting tour that was truly enjoyable (and filling)! We walked and drank + ate our way through the city, all the stops delicious and informative. Patrick is just as warm and kind in person as he was on screen. I love his laugh (and you will, too)!
Thanks so much for a fun and yummy day out in Bruges!"
"Our family really enjoyed exploring Belgian beers with Artur. He was knowledgeable, and helped us find new ones to try and experience different styles. Would highly recommend."
"We enjoyed our tour with Arn as he shared all things Ghent with us, including his mother's Flemish stew recipe!! The tour was a good mix of tastings and history at a comfortable pace to really enjoy the surroundings. We highly recommend Arn, who is an original Ghentian (?). Lol"
"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!!"
"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!"
"What a wonderful view of Ghent through Merel’s thoughtful and informative tour. This is exactly what I wanted and why I travel! Merel showed us highlights and hidden gems of local eateries to experience Ghent. And I can’t say enough good things about the snacks she gave us, including something she baked herself that was still warm from the oven when we met. Thank you so much! "
"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!"
