In Bruges, after lunch you enjoy the view of the peaceful Lake of Love and the picturesque Beguinage. Your guide will explain the stories and secrets behind the city’s history from the Viking period until the end of the Middle Ages. You see literally ‘all’ highlights of Bruges: the Basilica of the Holly blood of Jesus, the Belfry tower, our Lady’s Church, Saint John’s hospital etc. You even have the option to enjoy a pleasant boat trip along the narrow canals, entirely organized by your guide.

Insightful, warm and professional, Veronica is the real deal

Published on May, 2025

Insightful, warm and professional, Veronica is the real deal I had the chance to follow Veronica during a guided tour in Ghent and Bruges, and she truly impressed me. Calm, clear, and deeply knowledgeable, she connects with her group in a natural and personal way. Her storytelling flows with heart and knowledge, without ever losing structure or depth. Even in chaotic moments, she kept the group engaged and entertained, that says it all. You feel she loves what she does, and she makes you love it too. If you get a chance to join a tour with Veronica, don’t hesitate. She’s a guide who leaves a lasting impression.

Great tour!

Published on May, 2025

This was a well-organized day tour that offered a bilingual introduction (English and French) to the Low Countries, along with free time for personal exploration. Keeping the canal cruise in Bruges optional was a thoughtful choice, as some travelers may have already experienced similar cruises elsewhere in the Benelux region. For instance, we had taken a more extensive canal cruise in Amsterdam just a few days earlier. Instead, we used our free time in Bruges to explore the Grand-Place and the De Burg area. One highlight was visiting the Basilica of the Holy Blood, which houses the relic of the Precious Blood. Sitting in the Grand-Place, facing the medieval Belfort bell tower, brought back memories of relaxing in the Plaza Mayor in Cuzco, Peru—truly timeless moments.

Good day tour!
