Brugge at night

Melanie_L, Mar 2023

This tour was great, especially at night! Such a beautiful city with a rich history. Our guide, “Miau”, was knowledgeable and funny. I highly recommend this night walking tour!

Dark Side of Brugge was amazing.

Mohak_B, Mar 2023

The guide Martin was amazing. He gave the nitty gritty details of the entire Brugge and also, some dark spooky stories. His clarity of thoughts and spellbinding experience made the walking tour so much fun.

Bruges Dark Side Tour

Alex_L, Feb 2023

A very good way to get your bearings for the city and taking in some very interesting parts of town. Martin was a great guide which made the experience very enjoyable.

Gillian_L, Feb 2023

So nice for our money’s worth! Our tour guide did encourage us to tip which felt a little rude but it was an awesome experience!

Great tour

Liam_G, Feb 2023

Best of Bruges

Marlo_C, Dec 2022

Guide was fantastic and experience was great!! Loved learning about the dark side of this city. It was our first time so to learn the history and excitement of Bruges was fun and educational for us.

Great tour!

Lyuboslav_K, Nov 2022

Jan was great! Learnt a lot during this tour. Strongly recommend it. The tour exceeded our expectations!

Lovely Tour

Nicholas_F, Oct 2022

Great tour! Lots of interesting stops and stories. The tour does finish at a pub a fair way from the centre of Bruges is the only thing, so as a solo traveller it is a little dark walking back. But it is a great tour otherwise!

Night Time Walking Tour in Brugges

Bernard_D, Oct 2022

During our walking tour, my wife and I saw many parts of the town which would not normally be seen and doing it at night enhanced the experience. Our guide, Louis, was very informative but led the group without paying much attention to the group as a whole except when stopping to speak.

Great way to discover the city

Esabeau_S, Oct 2022

The tour guide with Nicco was really interesting and fun. We visited parts of the city you wouldn't usually see as a tourist and learned about the history and legends of Bruges. Together with the day tour they organize, I think it's the best way to discover the city, its history, architecture and to get good recommendations for food and drink. Thanks for the great experience !

Great tour

Shiqi_A, Oct 2022

The evenning tour is quite special, we really enjoyed it. The tour is well organized and with a lot interesting storties. Our tour guide Louis is fantastic, he is funny, friendly and knowledgable.

Awesome Guide-Sketchy Logistics

Breanna_B, Oct 2022

Our Guide was fantastic- he’s a secondary history teacher who is passionate about the history of Bruge and communicates his knowledge and passionate through great storytelling. For him alone, we would give him 5 stars. The reason for 3 stars is when we showed up, we found out it was in fact a free tour. We know that we only paid 6€ but it’s the principle that we paid for a free walking tour and then were asked to pay our guide at the end. That wasn’t cool.

Amazing History Lesson

Suzanne_V, Oct 2022

Our guide, Eric’s knowledge of the history of Brugge made the experience exceptional. The legends and ghost stories were also fun. I am older , but the pace was perfect for the two hour walk.

Enjoyable

Maggie_E, Sept 2022

Our guide Mao was very cheerful and informative even in the rain! A couple of hours well spent and a free beer at the end.

Great tour

Penny_S, Sept 2022

Louis told some great stories (believe them or not!) as we went round the less visited parts of Bruges. I would have given 5 stars except that his fairly strong accent and the large group meant it was often difficult to follow what he was saying unless you could get close enough to hear really well.

The Dark Side Experience

Sara_T, Aug 2022

Jan was an excellent, interesting and humorous guide - learned a lot about the city of Bruges and had a lot of fun!

Don’t rely on.

Sheryn_G, July 2022

Policy claimed tour limited to 24, but not true; one guide decided to split off approx. 8 to do a mini tour in French, leaving approx. 40 on the English tour. Difficult to hear with such a large group which included teenage Americans joking around; other participants smoking next to you.
