Awesome experience!... - Awesome experience! Bernadette was incredibly knowledgeable about Bruges's history, culture, and architecture, and was very detailed in her facts and explanations.
The boat tour was lovely and offered a unique perspective of the town from the canals. The chocolate tasting was the cherry top of the proverbial sundae!

Nice way to see Bruges - Ann was a great tour guide. She took us to places we never would have visited otherwise. The boat ride was also really fun and a nice way to see Bruges. Make sure you wrap up warm as it gets really cold in winter.

No flexibility or willingness to accomdated - My husband got sick. I contacted the tour operator to see if we could reschedule to the next day, exact same tour and was told no. Then they send me an email and text to rate the tour that we paid for and could not attend due to illness.
