Even I live in city Gent it was a new and fun experience. I had a good time and I discover new beers that I like drinking now. Also we went to a few places what I didn't know yet. It's fun to discover your own city on a different way. I certainly recommend this tour or any other one that's available.

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.

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!
