“Walking tour is an ideal way to get an overview of the city, some of its history and some local insights. Great to do this in a small walking tour and to do it early in the day before the crowds of day trippers and late risers join. It gets very crowded and think a bigger tour would be problematic.”

“"T," as she is called, was an amazing guide! She has a tremendous knowledge of local and regional history, culture, and language. She is friendly, intelligent, interesting, and worldly, having lived all over the world. She shared her favorite places in Bruges with us for "Belgian" fries, hand-crafted artisan chocolate, the best waffle I have ever eaten, and mulled wine and beer at the Christmas Market. She spent Christmas Day with us, and we are so grateful to her for giving us such a memorable and special day.”
