We were a group and contacted Nina last minute for a tour of the city. Eventhough it was so short notice, she made every effort to accomodate us for a beer tour. On the day of the tour she met us and was fun from the start. We even had a couple locals in our group who learned new things about the city, too! During the entire tour there was never a dull moment and it was a lot of fun. I hope to go on another tour with Nina in the future again. We really appreciated the last minute tour! It was a great day. Thank you Nina!

As a firm lover of art and architecture, I really liked this tour! I'm not a huge fan of cycling, but this way I had a much better experience when visiting Bruges. It would've been impossible to visit all these beautiful places in just one day. The guide was sublime. She told us many fun facts and amusing stories along the ride.

If you’re looking to discover Bruges less like a tourist and more like a local, this tour with Anna is the way to go! This 3 hour tour had so much to offer. We visited the highlights of the city, learned about the rich history of Bruges and still had time to sneak in the hidden gems that only the locals know about. The tastings were a true depiction of regional specialties and I find that eating like a local helps me connect with the culture so much more. Anna specifically is an excellent story-teller, so you will definitely be entertained as you eat piping-hot fries and taste the finest Belgian chocolate. Book a tour with her, and you won’t regret it!

Anna is an excellent choice if you’re looking for a tour that has a bit of everything. We learned so much about the history of the city, but were also shown some truly HIDDEN gems. There are spots in every city that you just never know are there until a local takes you there and Anna definitely has the knowledge to take you there. She is also an excellent story-teller and is very flexible in that your tastings can easily be customized to what you’re interested in. I highly recommend touring Bruges with her!

Excellent tour around Gent historical center, including various beers in various places. Our guide Ariël was clearly a true beer enthusiast and expert, and also told nice historical details and stories about the city places that we walked by on our tour. Only bad thing was that there was so much new and interesting information about beer, that I have already forgotten half of it :-)
