We couldn’t have had a better tour of stunningly beautiful Bruges than with Xavier! He was a polite, considerate, knowledgeable and particularly engaging guide. Full of many great stories, especially about the swans! We told him we needed a slower pace and frequent opportunities to sit, as we were pretty worn out from previous 2 weeks of cobblestone walking. He met us at the train station as planned and off we went to a park where there was a giant map of Bruges and he gave us an overview of everything before we started, ensuring we had a place to sit while he was talking. He made sure we had a bathroom break, along with a drink and rest. He truly loves this amazing city where he was born and it shows. We would not hesitate to recommend Xavier, whether for seniors (like us), or any other age groups. He has a knack for connecting with people and sharing his engaging stories and knowledge.

A most perfect afternoon!!
My travel companions and I only had one short day in Bruges. We decided to book Xavier’s Highlights and Hidden Gems walking tour so that we could really see as much as we could of this beautiful city. Xavier is charming, kind, and knowledgeable about his home town. He modified our tour to fit our needs and desires. This trip was our first into Belgium (3 cities in 3 days) and served a reconnaissance mission for future trips. We will most definitely be back to spend more time in Bruges thanks to Xavier. We will be wanting to book other tours with him at that time. Highly recommend!

A True Local Gem
We had a wonderful time with Hugo! He (and generations of his family) is from Bruges and has so much deep knowledge of the city and fun (and funny) anecdotes to share. We loved that he focused on small, local businesses. It was a great way for us to learn about Bruges during a short, weekend visit. We would love to seek Hugo out next time we come, as well!
