Didn’t organize well and didn’t receive what we paid for. Our guide didn’t show up and did not go on the tour we wanted to go on.
Too expensive. I paid $547 for my son and I for a ride in a van with a non English speaker to take a free tour in Bruges. It took us 4 hours. The fast train is $71 per person and gets me there in less than 2 hours. There are cheaper trains ($45) too. Then the tour was provided by a free tour local company. The tour guide Erik, was great though. Price plus tips for tour and driver ended up being $610. Never again.
Our driver was excellent. He was 15 minutes early in a clean comfortable van. We ran into a problem in Brugge as there was a marathon and all the roads were closed. He maneuvered around and got us as close as he could to the center and then walked us to meet our guide. The tour was informative with about 22 people. The guide was easy to understand and humorous. He had a lot of good tips that we took advantage of after. We were the only ones in the van so we arranged the pickup time and once again the driver was right on time. Highly recommend taking the time for a day in Brugge.
