We booked a bike tour for 3, but once we got the bikes (standard one-size rental bikes at the train station), I was not comfortable with mine as I'm on the shorter side and not the most experience bike rider, we quickly shifted to making it a walking tour. You can tell the Philippe loves what he does and his stories made Brugge even more magical!Great Customized Tour

Philippe is een aardige en innemende gids die zeer veel kennis bezit over Brugge. Wij konden ons programma zelf bepalen en Philippe was zeer flexibel en vulde het in. Had ook goede adviezen wat we beter wel en niet konden bezoeken. We raden deze gids ten zeerste aan.Geweldige en flexibele gids

Philippe is a pleasant guide taking you away from the crowds and showing nice and quiet places around the city centre while talking about historic events that shaped the city and its trading partners. We had a walking tour of 2.5 hours with 13 friends and every one of them told me they enjoyed it for the full length. Chapeaux Philippe!Fun trip away from the crowds

Philippe heeft ons een prachtige ervaring bezorgd. Op de fiets kriskras door Brugge, veel feiten en feitjes op een leuke manier verteld. Philippe is een prettige persoon die geïnteresseerd is in de achtergrond van de groep, en past zijn verhaal en zijn route daar op aan. Hij bezit veel kennis van de historie van Brugge. Op de fiets zie je in een paar uur tijd heel veel van Brugge, en Philippe toont je ook plaatsen waar de gemiddelde toerist nooit komt. Het is een absolute aanrader om met hem Brugge te verkennen!Verken in een paar uur tijd heel Brugge

Was een superleuke trip. Philippe was geduldig, toonde ons de geheime spots in het mooie Brugge en was een boeiende verteller. Onze groep zou wel een ganse dag op fietstocht met hem willen gaan.Super

Our private bike tour with Philippe was amazing. Not only did we learn about the rich history of Bruges, as a local he took us to locations that would not be on a typical tour. Philippe was also extremely accommodating. Unfortunately we had booked our tour for the wrong date, but fortunately he was able to reconfigure his schedule to accommodate us. We are very appreciative. Thank you!Insights of Bruges

Philippe was waiting for us on time at the train station with bikes ready to go. He chose a route that highlighted all the history and beauty of the city, pausing to take pictures along the way. The weather was perfect for most of the ride and Philippe was very knowledgeable about the history. Can very highly recommend this tour. Wonderful bike ride in beautiful Bruges!

This was our first time in Bruges and it was perfect. Philippe was very responsive and accommodating to my wife and me. First of all, there is no better way to explore Bruges than by bike. The terrain is very flat and you are able to see far more than if walking. The city is perfectly laid out to ride through parks and streets and I can’t imagine seeing it any other way. Second, Philippe’s in-depth knowledge of Bruges’s history and sites was beyond impressive. We learned so much about its past and present and, because he is a long-time resident and professor, we were able to see several places where no other tourists were present. Also, Philippe was just a really nice person to hang out with - good humor and at the end of the tour he gave us several excellent recommendations for drinks and dinner. All in all it was the perfect visit - thanks Philippe! The best and only way to see Bruges

Philippe is a born ‘Bruggeling’ and takes you to hidden gems in Brugge, mostly, if you like, to non-touristic places. Brugge is a lovely and well-to-bike city with a lively and remarkable history. Thumbs up for Philippe!Very kind and knowledgeable tourguide!

Heel fijne en aangename gids. Echt een inspanning gedaan om aan een grotere groep een andere kijk op Brugge te geven. En dit zowel voor iemand die Brugge goed kent of voor iemand die er vooral als toerist is geweest.

Met Philippe op pad is een ideale manier om Brugge te ontdekken op een niet massa toeristische wijze. Hij rijdt met jou rond en door Brugge op zoek naar verborgen interessante schoonheden die Brugge te bieden heeft. En met de tips onderweg kan je nadien nog extra genieten van al het lekkers dat Brugge nog te bieden heeft. Dus zeker een aanrader voor wie graag eens naast het klassieke pad fietst 😉👍👌.De vergeten hoekjes van Brugge

We hebben een mooie wandeling gemaakt door Brugge met Philippe van ongeveer 2 uur. Philippe heeft ons veel verteld over de historie van Brugge waar hij op een boeiende manier over verteld! Over bepaalde onderwerpen heeft hij een podcast gemaakt die hij tijdens de wandeling op een Bluetooth speakers liet horen, hij experimenteerden hier mee. wij hebben dit als heel leuk ervaren. Kortom .. als je een gids zoekt die op een boeiende manier verteld en je wilt veel van de historie weten van Brugge, dan zit je zeker goed bij Philippe! Leuke gezellige wandeling!

We did a bicycle tour guided by Philippe. Very casual, informative, and interesting to have a bike tour of the amazing town of Brugge. We had done a private walking tour as well with a different guide, both of them had interesting takes on the city and we learned a great deal. Would highly recommend!Best tour of Brugge!
