Even though this was supposedly an “English” language tour, there were only 15 English speakers on the 58-passenger bus. The rest were Spanish speakers. HOWEVER, our guide, AnnaMaria, did a fabulous job of going between the 2 languages!! When we arrived in Brugge, the 15 English speakers were assigned to an English speaking guide, Massimo, who did a wonderful job guiding us through the important sites of this beautiful city. The only thing the description didn’t tell you was that Brugge is 3 1/2 hours from Amsterdam….making it a very long day — 7 hours in the coach. But the trip is very worth it to see this UNESCO protected city. As Massimo said, “the further we walked, the more back in time we went!” Truly an experience not to be missed!!
We enjoyed the day trip, however it was not perfect. Enrique was a good guide and driver, but spoke too softly sometimes. The trip entailed a 3 hour ride between Amsterdam and Bruges in each direction. The seating in the vehicle was not great, with 6 seats in the "rear" that were facing...leg room was minimal (3 seats facing 3 seats) and the actual seat room was not generous. Overall it was good to see Bruges, but the transportation was sub-par. Also, having two languages was a bit awkward, but Enrique did a good job of fairly sharing information in both Spanish and English.
We had a wonderful time in Brugge. Pascal, our tour guide in Brugge, was dramatic while telling the history of the area making it informative and fun. His recommendations were great. Highly recommend this tour.
Great experience! Our guide was very entertaining and knowledgeable.
Long bus ride. Should have included more sights to see. Bus should have provided least a bottle of water!
Though the bus portion is long and arduous, we really enjoyed this tour! Bruges is absolutely stunning and we had a wonderful local tour guide who knew allll of the history. We recommend finding a restaurant off the beaten path for lunch. That’s the best way to find something more authentic and less crowded.
Bruges is a must see. We were very fortunate to be on a bus off season with plenty of space and we actually went walking on our own and back on the bus. We had a wonderful day.
We’re so glad you had a wonderful day! It’s great that you had the freedom to explore on your own and soak up the city at your own pace before heading back. That balance of structure and independence often makes the day even more special. Thanks for sharing your experience — we hope your next adventure is just as lovely!
Long day but well worth it! Had about 5 hours in the city. Only complaint was the bus seats were very, very tight. Highly recommended.
Thank you so much for your review! We’re really happy to hear that you enjoyed the experience and felt the trip was worth it. It’s great that you had enough time to explore the city and make the most of your visit. We also appreciate your feedback regarding the bus seats. We understand comfort is important on longer journeys, and we’ll definitely share your comments with our team as we continue working to improve our tours. Thank you again for recommending us, and we hope to welcome you on another Camaleon Tours adventure soon!
Bruges is a beautiful, old city with lots of history and stunning architecture. Our local guide Gosia was excellent. My only criticism is the 3-hour bus ride on the way down with no comfort stop. 3 hours...in the morning...after people have had their morning coffee. Ahem. Yeah, there's a bathroom on the bus but they said it was limited capacity and trying to stumble down to it on a moving bus wasn't too appealing. 15 minutes less free time in trade for a pit stop on the way down would have been a worthy trade.
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us! We’re delighted to hear that you enjoyed the beauty and history of Bruges, and especially that Gosia made such a positive impression during the tour. We’ll be sure to pass along your kind words to her — she’ll be very happy to hear them. We also truly appreciate your honest feedback regarding the journey to Bruges. We understand that a comfort stop during the morning trip would have made the ride more pleasant, especially on a longer journey. Your comments are very valuable, and we’ll share them with our operations team as we continue reviewing ways to improve the overall experience for our guests. Thank you again for traveling with Camaleon Tours, and we hope to welcome you on another adventure in the future!
My Tour Guide was Blanca and the driver. They were extremely good and helpful with Maria my handicapped friend. The driver was excellent and very courteous.
Thank you so much for your lovely review! We’re truly happy to hear that Blanca and the driver took such good care of you and Maria during the tour. Providing a comfortable and supportive experience for all our guests is very important to us, and it’s wonderful to know their kindness, professionalism, and courtesy made a positive difference throughout the trip. We’ll make sure to share your kind words with both of them — they’ll be delighted to know their efforts were appreciated. Thank you again for choosing Camaleon Tours, and we hope to see you both on another adventure soon!
