Bike Tour of Bruges, Damme and Sluis. - We spent a pleasant fulfilling day experiencing the countryside by bike while learning about the history of the Bruges, Damme, and Sluis area. I would highly recommend Xavier and this full day tour. It is a perfect way to escape the crowds of Bruges and feed your soul with fresh country and ocean air.

An excellent departure from crowded Bruges! - What an incredible trip outside of Bruges! We rented e-bikes and we are very glad we did. This all day tour will travel nearly 20 miles, maybe more. You will see gorgeous canals lined with trees, beatiful Damme, cross the border into Holland and have lunch in Sluis, and then ride to Het Zwin Nature Park. Finally you ride bikes along the beach in Knokke-Heist before boarding a train back to Bruges. Xavier if full of interesting information and happy to share it! I can highly recommend this tour!
