I’m so happy we got a tour with Anna! Not only did she gave us an interesting and explorative tour, but we also felt like we were introduced to the life the locals live and we were visiting a friend here, who knows the latest news. What is more, we got to enjoy a private tour, so we got to ask as many questions we liked. Because of the few tourists, we had the privilege to be the only people inside Basiliek van het Heilig Bloed. All in all, it was a wonderful experience, and I’m not saying it by far only because we got to taste Belgian chocolate.

5. Private Bruges Walk (3h)
Known as the Venice of the North, because of its peaceful canals, Bruges is one of the most beautiful cities in Europe. It was a justified motive that prompted UNESCO in 2000 to include the entire historical city centre on the World Heritage list. The current city boundaries still coincide exactly with those of the medieval city centre, and the spaces and structures that were so typical of Bruges in the past have been preserved. Walking along the maze of winding cobbled alleys and romantic canals, you imagine yourself to be in medieval times.
Inclusions: Fresh Belgian chocolate sampling
Exclusions: Private transportation, Personal Expenses and souvenirs, Lunch

My husband and I travel constantly all over the world and ALWAYS hire private guides. I cannot recommend Joyce highly enough. I am extremely particular about everything--from the type of car we travel in, to choosing the best five-star hotels wherever we go, to where we eat each meal. I enjoy working with a guide who knows the region well and can make knowledgeable recommendations; one who will help me plan our itinerary down to the last detail. Joyce has the patience of a saint; she not only planned ONE detailed itinerary, but when a health issue potentially interfered with our plans and we had to make some major adjustments to both dates and places, at the last minute she she ended up planning a SECOND totally different vacation for us (though I strongly recommend you book as early as possible--since she has many repeat customers, as we will no doubt become!). Not only is she extremely reliable and punctual (I don't think there was one email of the innumerable ones I sent her that was not answered within a few hours--even with a six hour time difference to the US from Belgium!), she also has a great personality. You will no doubt find her charming and extremely accommodating. No matter where we went, the locals knew her and adore her. Instead of the usual tourist traps, she took us places we never would have found on our own (including a chocolate store where we bought the best chocolate ever). No matter the request, she did her very best to fulfill it. On our last day, she even arranged to retrieve my fur hat from a restaurant in Ghent where I had accidentally left it (nearly an hour away) and have it delivered to my hotel! Joyce definitely goes "BEYOND" what you hope for in a guide!
