Santiago was a great tour guide. He had his work cut out for him doing an English and Spanish tour. He did it with ease. Very educational and we visited the major sights of Brussels with free time to explore. We had a brief rain period but it didn’t ruin the trip. Bruges was my favorite. A quaint town. Both locations rich in history. Definitely need more than a few hours to visit to really take it all in but having someone else drive was really the wise choice.
The guide Andreas was very great and caring, making sure everyone remains safe to and from. The overall trip wasn't bad. I would go back to Brussels but as a last resort. Would definitely do Bruges again. Micheal the second driver came and save the day with the air condition and music on the bus.
Our tour guide was Santiago and driver was Rueben. It was a nice drive with a couple of stops along the way. Santiago told us a few facts about the towns and let us have the day to explore by ourselves. If you’re looking for a tour guide to walk you around, this isn’t the tour for you. It’s a great time eating and seeing the sights for about two hours per town. Very nice day!
