Philippe was a great host, really knowledgeable and very helpful throughout, especially to accommodate our special requests. A very pleasant guide indeed!
It's been a year and we still talk about this tour with Phillipe. When we booked (in autumn) it was just the two of us and Phillipe. Getting the bikes was easy and included. We had a brief conversation about what we were interested in and then immediately set off. Our tour was uniquely tailored to our interests. I truly mean it. Phillipe sought out and emphasized the things he thought we would enjoy. We talked about ancient water pumps and 17th century pharmacy and we LOVED it. But it's not all esoteric interests. Phillipe has been in the city for decades and knows it intimately. You will see the old city from the 12th and 13th century as well as learn how to spot the parts that just "look old." You will experience the parts of the city that no one sees right in front of their face. You will take your bike places you didn't know you could take a bike in Bruges. Just make sure you keep up with Phillipe! This tour was completely worth it. If you like beautiful bike rides, interesting history, secret sights, great food recommendations, and a guide who cares, this is going to be a great for you.
What a perfect way to see Bruges. Philippe met us outside the train station with our bikes and we saw a large part of the old city, thru parks, back winding alleys, and main public squares. Philippe was full of detailed information and interesting anecdotes. Well done!
We connected with Artur via Withlocals chat prior to our tour, and he gave us wonderful recommendations for things to do before we met up with him. It was Voting Day in Bruges, which it turns out led to early closing of several spots Artur had hoped to take us; but since he gave us suggestions earlier in the day, we were able to get to those anyway (they were great!); then we got to a few possibly lesser known, but really fun, local pubs with Artur. Several beers that were "only poured in this location." It was an excellent tour, and Artur was great fun to spend time with. He knows his beers and conveys, as well, his love of Bruges.
