The tour was informative and Bruges was beautiful! We saw the blood of Christ and beautiful views of the canals and other sites. Our driver, Aslan, made sure we were comfortable during our ride.
Had a wonderful tour with Jerome! We learned so much about Brugge from him. You can tell that he loves his town and was excited to share everything about it. He was funny, entertaining, and we had a blast with him!
I feel this was a waste of a whole day in which we could have enjoyed Paris! The 3.5 hours in a van both ways with virtually no conversation was torture!! The local guide in Brugge was great, informative……..we had 3 hrs to explore, and we did, on our own. I assumed our tour guide would have been informative, sharing knowledge about the area, he was not, even when asked to do so. In hindsight, based on our experience, I would not spend the time or money!!!
Hello, Point N 1. Bruges was great. We completely disagree with You. Bruges is Mega Great. Point N 2. In our minute for minute description we have mentioned that the way from Paris to Bruges takes about 3,5 hours including a short stop at the rest area. That is correct. You complain it. That is not correct. Point N3. During the trip from Paris by one of our Mercedes minivans there were totally 6 travellers + English speaking Iliya and Driver Alex. People relax or have conversation with each other if they have common interests or something to discuss. Point N4. The local guide Patrick is one local with Licence and more that 20 years experience. You didn't like him. OK. We will ask him if he liked You. Anyway we asked other 4 participants of this Small group and they told us that they liked the guide and the walking tour.
The minivan was very comfortable and our driver did an excellent job. We appreciated the pickup at our hotel. There was just one other couple on this tour and we enjoyed sharing the day with these two. Our guide in Brugge was passionate about his hometown and very knowledgeable. After the tour we had a great lunch and took a canal boat cruise before returning to Paris. We enjoyed the day very much.
Fabulous, fabulous day. Our guide Valerie was absolutely and our driver Rustam did an incredible job navigating Paris traffic and accidents along the way to get us back to the hotel. I probably would have dropped us somewhere along the highway and waved by, but he never stopped smiling. Cannot say enough good things about the tour company, our guide and our driver. This is the trip you want to book to Bruges!
This was a long but genuinely delightful day trip from Paris. We loved Brugge and the unique middle age environment. It is more like a German village so a nice change of scenery from Paris. The driver from Viator picked us up at our hotel 15 minutes early and was very pleasant and competent. Our guide, Jane, was absolutely fantastic. She was very friendly, knowledgeable and a joy to be with. She actually rode with us in the car for the 3+ hour journey so we received extra “tour time.” She was really the best and I have been on many tours! One important note. We were advised by Viator the day prior to our small group tour that there were not enough participants. We were offered a refund or the opportunity to upgrade to private for 2. We took the upgrade and we’re very glad we did.
