Julian was an excellent guide. Very knowledge and passionate in the history of Brugge. We enjoyed our walking tour and his recommendations for shopping and restaurants. Camiel was Julian’s protege and he was very helpful as well. Another successful Viator tour.

Fantastic experience
Wendy_K, Apr 2024
The guide was knowledgeable and entertaining. A great way to get an overview of this gorgeous city before exploring independently.
We tried to get in touch...
Malin_G, Nov 2023
We tried to get in touch with the guide to understand how long the tour was and if one in our group could join in half way. She needed to because of an injury. We did not get an answer. In the end we cancelled.
Response from Host, Nov 2023
Good morning, We are sorry for the inconveniences and that you did not enjoy the tour with us. The guided visit always lasts for two hours, as indicated in the details of the activity. And if you arrive late, you can always join half way in. All your comments help us improve the quality of our services. Best regards.
Great tour of a beautiful city!
Michael_I, Oct 2023
Our visit to Bruges was definitely enhanced by taking this tour. Julian was both informative and entertaining as we walked through the beautiful streets of Bruges. We didn't initially sign up for the boat tour, but added it later and are glad that we did. It was a great way to see some of the same buildings from a different perspective.
A Must do in Brugge!
Craig_H, Oct 2023
The wonderful history shared by Mae at different areas in Brugge. Everything was explained with important dates and timelines, very knowledgeable guide.
Disappointed in the management
Andrea_H, Aug 2023
Our ship was not able to dock in Zeebrugge due to bad weather. Called Viator and the company who is doing the walking tour and requested a refund. Both denied. Viator told me to call the company requesting refund and the company said Viator should refund . In tge end neither did anything. Very very disappointed in the service.
Response from Host, Aug 2023
Good morning, We are sorry for the inconveniences. The tour happened as planned with the rest of the group, and with less than 24 hours notice, we do not proceed for refunds. We are sorry that you could not enjoy the tour with us. All your comments help us imporve the quality of our services. Best regards.
Another 5 star Viator tour!

Pleasant walk through a beautiful town
Lynette_L, May 2023
The walking tour was excellent and covered all the main sites of the city. The guide was very knowledgeable and made the tour interesting. Unfortunately, it was pouring with rain and sometimes it was hard to hear him. Nevertheless, I was really pleased I went and would recommend it.
Bad driections to meeting place.
robert_r, May 2023
The direction provided by Viator took us to the wrong location and then they refused to provide a refund. Trying to contact the tour company by phone connected me to a voice message in Flemish which then disconnected. You are better off using a different tour company then Viator they will not support you.
Response from Host, May 2023
Dear customer, We are sorry for the inconvenience. We have checked the location of the meeting point and it is correct. Your feedback helps us to improve the customer experience and we will work on the mentioned points. Best regards.
The best way to see Bruges
Joe_D, Apr 2023
Our guide Louis was extremely knowledgeable of the history and the beautiful buildings in Bruges. He made the tour very interesting with his stories and his humor. The walking tour is a great way to experience the city. But it is a LOT of walking (hence the name!).
Enchanting Town
Harriet_H, Apr 2023
Knowledgeable guide, however it would have been better to tour with a guide who spoke better English
Not for me...
Simon_S, Apr 2023
The rep didn’t turn up on the correct day so we had to rearrange... the tour was supposed to be a ‘small group’ but we counted 50 people! The rep was difficult to understand so I suppose you live and learn....or not!
Loved the smaller group...
Andrea_T, Oct 2022
Loved the smaller group (we were 8) feel. Informative history of the city , including some of the accompanying legends.
Response from Host, Nov 2022
Hello Andrea! First of all thank you for taking your time to leave us a review and for trusting in our company during your holidays. We hope to see you again in the future, Kind regards,
Great tour
Melanie_S, Oct 2022
Great tour. Very informative. Although it was Fabio's first week he was a very good guide. Brugge is a beautiful city and a walking tour is a great way to see it
Response from Host, Nov 2022
Hello Melanie! First of all thank you for taking your time to leave us a review and for trusting in our company during your holidays. We hope to see you again in the future, Kind regards,
Beware! Stay away from this tour!
John_M, Oct 2022
Terrible experience! A complete fraudulent rip-off. Advertised as a “small group tour”, with an interactive guide experience, we arrived to find a group of 30 in our “small group” with headsets. We declined to join the tour and asked for a refund. That request was denied. Do not book with Viator! Rip-off artists!
Response from Host, Nov 2022
We are deeply sorry for your bad experience with the Tour. We will take notice of your thoughts and we will try to correct it. Our guides are well prepared in the itinerary. Hoping we can have you in our activities in the future. Greetings.
Misleading
Marcia_S, Oct 2022
We did not take the tour. The meeting point was far away from the city center. We did not think to check because Viator walking tours generally start at a central point, not a five-minute car ride to a location of no apparent interest.

Great Tour
Karyn_H, Oct 2022
Bruno was a great guide. He was friendly, informative and funny. We got to see all of the main sites in Bruges and the stories behind them. He was helpful suggesting what to do with the rest of our time after the tour. I would highly recommend this tour. We got to see the same things we would have on the ship’s tour for much less.
Response from Host, Nov 2022
Hello Karyn! First of all thank you for taking your time to leave us a review and for trusting in our company during your holidays. ¡See you soon!
It a good walking tour
Carolyn_A, Jul 2022
Guide had left by the time we arrived, which was 3 minutes before our scheduled tour time. We were told our guide would be wearing a black jacket, have a red umbrella, and the company logo would be visible. Through WhatsApp, we eventually met our guide, and none of the clothing matched! We believe our guide had a larger bus tour for the day, and we were a small addition to his tour. We were not given the headset and handheld device others had. Our guide was a nice young man, but I would not recommend this walking tour.
Excellent walking tour.
Janice_K, Jun 2022
I believe our guides name was Jamal. He was an excellent tour guide. Brought Bruges to life. Very informative with humour included.
Brügge, wir kommen wieder!
Marianne_S, Jun 2022
Unsere Reiseleiterin Lourdes hat die Geschichte der Stadt lebendig dargestellt und ist auf unsere Fragen gerne eingegangen.
