As a family with teenagers, it is always a challenge to find an activity that will be entertaining for all. Although they are not history enthusiasts, my kids said that this tour was the best day of our stay in Belgium (1 week). They especially liked the tour guide, Jamal and his dry sense of humour. Jamal was able to point out funny historical details, do little games with the group and make recommendations on restaurants and activities. He made all the difference. Thanks Jamal for this wonderful (rainy) day! Things to be improved: we should have taken a tour for only 1 city. If you like to stroll in leisurely in the city, visit museums, etc., the tour is a bit fast paced and won't allow you to shop, visit independently museums and historic buildings. Also, you'll be paired with Spanish groups going on the bus. Not the best logistical arrangements. However, the price is well worth it. 10/10 would do again.

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.

A private walking guided tour thought several walls, canals and architecture eras of Bruges. The best way to experience the history of a medieval town is through its architecture. Therefore, the main focus of this tour is architecture ad its details that reflect milestones in the history of Bruges. Jamal will stretch architecture, legends, art, love, and tiny details for you by a monodrama and sarcasm. Jamal will also give you free time after the tour full of recommendations of must-visit-places, and that includes where and what to eat. Last but not least, the architecture of chocolate will also be tasted during the tour. It would be so silly not to enjoy artisan handmade chocolate in the capital of artisan handmade chocolate of the world.
Inclusions: Editing and sending the pictures.

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!
