Great beer tasting 😀
Artur was most personable and such a good host. He was very knowledgeable and found the right beers for us in 2 brilliant beer bars. We also visited an amazing beer shop with a huge selection of beers. Thank you Artur!

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!

Wonderful kickstart to Bruges
Hilde is a fantastic tour guide. She is very knowledgeable and we thoroughly enjoyed our time spent with her. You will not be disappointed with her overview tour and will most likely leave with chocolates in hand! Well done Hilde, it was a pleasure!
