    We highly recommend you book a private tour to discover Historical Bruges. That way you can ask your tour guide whatever you like without having to worry about bothering others who are on the tour. You will truly get your money’s worth!

  • Food Tours

    Bruges is all about food, especially sweet stuff. It’s so yummy! Don’t leave before you’ve tasted ‘Brugse achten’, glazed cookies, ‘Brugs beschuit’, toasted, sweetened bread and ‘Brugs sigaretjes’, hollow, cigar-shaped cookies. And of course, like the rest of Belgium, Bruges is also famous for its chocolate.

    Discover all of the delicious food in Bruges on one of our food tours with a private guide by your side. The food tours are among our top private tours in Bruges! With a private guide you’ll discover all of the tastiest food at the coolest places around. As a Bruges local would say: Smakelijk!

  • Art and Culture Tours

    The art and culture tours also deserve a spot on our top 5 private tours. Bruges is quite famous for its art scene. If you know a little about art, you’re probably familiar with the ‘Flemish Masters’ like Jan van Eyck and Rogier van der Weyden. You can see their works in the famous Groeninge Museum.

    Furthermore, the contemporary art scene in Bruges is up-and-coming. If you’re interested, ask your private guide to walk the Bruges Art Route, an art-and walking tour.

Ann the Awesome

Ann was a great guide for my family of four, including 2 teens. She shared history, culture, and great food with us during our 3 hour tour together. She even brought us some delicious chocolate from a favorite local shop, and helped us find a holiday ornament too. Highly recommend touring with Ann!
