Beautiful Bruges With Xavier
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.
