Coach to brugge

Lisa_B, Feb 2024

Booked this prior to my cruise, liked the fact I could cancel if we missed the port. We were escorted to our coach and after a 30 minute journey we arrived at the coach park in Bruges, we were advised of the return times back to our ship, everything ran smoothly and would definitely use again

day trip to bruge

jane_w, Feb 2024

Bruge was a lovely place to visit, coach colected us outside the port and dropped us off in a car park near the town. then collected us at the same car park for the return journey. would have been better had the driver given us some infor regarding the place and the journey their. last time we went n this trip we had a lat driver who was great and acted like a tour guide.

Efficient Service

Brian_T, Feb 2024

A very good service prompt an efficient but would if representative was out side the port to direct to the service has no signage to say it was Viator bit confusing but overall happy with service

Don’t bother booking

Julie_N, Jan 2024

Freezing cold waiting for shuttle bus for 2 hrs . Considering the weather and amount of cruise passengers, shuttles should have been available every 30 minutes as stated

The place was beautiful...

Gerald_C, Jan 2024

The place was beautiful but the bus driver nearly crashed the bus, it was a terrible experience he tried to overtake a lorry where the arrows indicated to move over to the right but he mounted the centre pavement to get passed, it was very frightening.

Easy straight forward service.

Jo_C, Dec 2023

Lovely staff, great safe drivers and easy to use web page. Hopped on prepaid clean coach with toilet at the cruise terminal in Zeebrugger and the coach was waiting for our return from Brugge.

Long wait to get into Brugge!!

Annette_S, Dec 2023

Collected our tickets at the cruise terminal fine, but problem with some of the vehicles, so about 100 people waited (in the cold) for about 45minutes to get into Brugge!! Thankfully return journey was fine

Excellent service

Anne_W, Dec 2023

First time using Viator and very impressed. Was a little nervous at first but everything was very well organised. Will definitely consider using again.

Late return, very stressful.

Daniel_L, Dec 2023

Very disappointed, turned up early to the 3pm return transfer (some people were waiting from 2.30pm) no transfer arrived instead the 3.30pm transfer arrived which left late at 3.40pm and made for a very stressful return to the ship.
