We ❤️ Sebastian! - We loved our tour with Sebastian! He was very accommodating and really honed in on the sites were interested in seeing. He has a vast knowledge of both Brussels and Bruges as well as the surrounding regions. Sebastian was a joy to hang out with and we felt like we could have talked for hours.

Great Day Exploring Bruges - It was a great day, my guide met me in the morning exactly as planned and had our train tickets all set up, so off we went. We had a great chat along the way and the ride went quickly. We got off the train and started exploring Bruges. My guide had a ton of knowledge and recommended many different places. She had a great lunch spot in mind and we enjoyed some great local food. We had a great day exploring the various sites of Bruges, I wouldn't hesitate booking this tour again!

Ricardo Mota was amazing guide! - I travel often and have always used the guides suggested in Rick Steves book. This was my first time using tripadvisor and I want you to know that Ricardo was by far my best and favorite. He is knowledgeable above the typical attractions and a very kind person. He is a must have tour guide!

Outstanding tour with a smile - Ricardo Mota was our private guide for our tour of Bruges. He met us at our Brussels hotel and walked us to the train station where we caught the train to Bruges. Once there, Ricardo had done his homework and geared the tour around our interests and sights we wanted to see. He was able to personalize the tour in this way because he had us answer a query about our interests, places we wanted to see, etc. Never had any guide anywhere gone to this extent to insure we were given an enjoyable yet comprehensive tour. He immersed us in the local scene as well as taking us to the “must see” places in Bruges. His command of English is excellent and his demeanor was very friendly and easygoing yet professional. We’d tour with him again in a heartbeat.

Bruges is a gem! - We decided to go the private guide route for a tour of Bruges. Granted it was more expensive than a group tour, but we’ll worth the extra. Our guide, Ricardo, sent a questionnaire in order to find out our interests and must see places and things. He designed the tour specifically to our answers to his inquiry. He didn’t rush us at all and gave us all we could see and do in the 10 hours spent with him.

Day trip to Bruges - Not a great experience. It was crowded and rainy. Want chocolate or lace, maybe a waffle with a medieval town square? That’s pretty much the appeal and our guide had to check an app on his phone to tell us what we were seeing. Really? I’d head to Antwerp or spend more time in Amsterdam. Just not worth it.
