Ivan was wonderful, he was the best driver. He was kind, friendly, caring, always made sure we had whatever we needed, and best of all very punctual. In a word, professional. Jerome was an awesome guide. He not only knows the history of Bruges, but tells the best stories. He is friendly, entertaining and a joy. It was time well spent. My husband and I will treasure always our day trip to Bruges. You should try it- well worth the money and time.
