    Definitely worth 2 hours of your time

    Steve was our guide on this tour. Rather than just giving us historical facts he turned it more into an interactive experience, so the "storytelling" description of this tour is as advertised. It was fun and interesting, Highly recommend.
    Local tour with anecdotes
    Janet_E, May 2024
    Great historic tour with loads of anecdotes and stories. Tour led by a local from Bruges city with hints and tips

    Annette_B, Apr 2024
    Fantastic. Fun. We had a great guide who was totally knowledgeable and a total character. The payment is in tips. Best €20 for a tour I have paid. Would have given her more if I had it on me.
    Excellent, highly recommend
    Victoria_J, Mar 2024
    Joorst was brilliant. My husband and I, and our teenage son, really enjoyed this tour. Joorst had passion, was v interesting, and funny too! Kept our attention for sure. Highly recommend :) I wasn’t quite sure where to meet (the square is large) but Joorst had a yellow umbrella and was in front of the Belfort. Just in case that is helpful!
    Would recommend

    Azize_T, Mar 2024
    Tour was awesome. Steve is the best, he not only knows history and the place but he has a great sense of humor. We truly enjoyed every single part of the tour. It was a rainy cold day and he somehow managed to make it so fun!
    Amazing
    CARLOSALBERTO_D, Feb 2024
    The tour was amazing! Peter is a fantastic storyteller and guided us to places we would never find by ourselves. I really recommend this tour!
    Fun, educational tour
    Ashley_E, Feb 2024
    The guide kept the tour light and he spoke with brevity as to not bore us but it was still very educational. My only "grievance" was that he didn't pause or ask for any questions so I would have to run after him as we moved to the next spot and ask him. But overall enjoyed the tour and it helped us to see a good portion of the city.
    Bruges in 2 hours
