The journey doesn’t follow a pre-determined path. Each of our narrators brings their unique points of interest to the table and tailors them to suit the group. Therefore, the more engagement and inquiries you provide, the richer your tour experience becomes.

Must-do for everyone - The Storytelling Tour Bruges, led by the dynamic Steve, was an absolute hit, even for my teenager, who was engaged and happy throughout. Steve's talent for involving everyone made the tour exceptionally interesting and far from boring. His storytelling brought Bruges' history to life in a way that captivated all ages.

Great tour, excellent guide and local tips - Pascale gave us a wonderful tour, despite Brugges being heaving on the Easter weekend!
We loved exploring Brugge and hearing all the stories of it's past. We were kept entertained and informed by an excellent guide. Really appreciated the food tips at the end of the tour (waffles in the square and greek pittas - both were excellent!)
Thanks so much!
