Great way to discover Bruges - Xavier did not exaggerate when he told that all the power, history and art is in it's churches. With this magnificent overview I got the perfect idea how Bruges worked. Excellent tour and thanks for the perfect fi al in the church of our Lady.

More than just your local church says Xavier - We spent about 4 hours wondering around the churches of Brugge looking at their art and architecture and learning all about it. our guide, Xavier, was fantastic and very knowledgable. He was also very pleasant and chatted about many things as we walked between churches. one of our party was totally blind so Xavier went out of his way to describe the paintings, status and interior layouts for her. an excellent example of inclusiveness. At the end of the tour we shared a social beer at a local bar and this was a perfect end to a fantastic and memorable experience.

Highly recommend, great experience, 10/10!!! - I had decided to check out the walking tour to Bruges. I found this on viator, and it summed up exactly what I wanted to see. Tour was approximately 4 hours. My guide (Xazier) was incredibly knowledgeable, patient and listened to my own thoughts on all there was to see and even tried to test me and ask me why ans what my I own thoughts were on the art, churches and interior. The Madonna by Michaelangelo is truly worth the tour but Xavier was able to take me back in time and unearth some serious hidden gems!!!
"She accepted his faith"
Xavier took me to another level...
10 out of 10!!!
