Vielen Dank, lieber Martin. Du hast uns viel Wissen über Brügge vermittelt und den Geburtstag meiner Schwiegermutter noch ein bisschen schöner gemacht. Es war interessant, kurzweilig und sympathisch.Sehr schöne Tour durch Brügge

Our group of 4 adults went on the 3 hour food and town tour with Martin in Bruges, Belgium. Martin is a great story-teller and had excellent food and beer choices for us to enjoy along the way. We were in Bruges for a very limited time in this cruise port and we spent it wisely with a tour with Martin. Our group highly recommends this tour with Martin!! Highly Recommend Martin

Wir wurden sehr professionell, sympathisch mit kleinen Anekdoten durch Brügge geführt. Besonders zu erwähnen wäre das Martin uns sehr geschickt um den Massentourismus herumgeführt hat. Wir, als Gruppe mit Kleinkindern können Martin's Führung nur weiter empfehlen. Vielen Dank noch einmal.Sehr gut!

Wir hatten die City Kickstart Tour auf Deutsch mit Martin. Er ist ein äußerst sympathischer und sehr aufgeschlossener Guide, eine rheinische Frohnatur eben :-), der uns seine Wahlheimat Brügge auf charmante und sehr informative Art näher gebracht hat. Wir haben die wichtigsten Sehenswürdigkeiten zusammen besucht, an tollen Fotomotiven angehalten, probierten Schokolade und er hat uns mit vielen Tipps für unseren weiteren Aufenthalt in Brügge und Belgien versorgt. Wir besuchten anschließend eine Brauerei, aßen die Brügge Waffel und gingen in einheimische Läden und Orte, die wir alleine gar nicht gefunden hätten. Unser Fazit: SEHR empfehlenswert, sowohl Brügge als auch Martin!Wunderschöne Tour durch Brügge

We had the absolute pleasure of touring Bruges with Martin, and we can’t recommend him highly enough. From the moment the tour began, it was clear we were in the hands of someone deeply passionate about his city and incredibly knowledgeable about its rich history and culture. Martin masterfully blended historical insights, local legends, and personal anecdotes in a way that brought the streets of Bruges to life. He was not only engaging and articulate, but also warm, patient, and attentive to our questions and interests. His pacing was perfect, and he struck a wonderful balance between must-see landmarks and hidden gems we never would have discovered on our own. Martin truly elevated our experience of Bruges and left us with a much deeper appreciation for this beautiful city. If you’re visiting Bruges and want a tour that is as informative as it is memorable, look no further than Martin. He is the true highlight & hidden gem of Bruges!Bruges with the best

Martin was incredibly friendly, welcoming and informative... the perfect tour guide. Even though one of us had already been to Bruges, Martin was able to offer many unique insights and stories. The time flew by my Wife and I absolutely enjoyed ourselves. We continued to visit the many restaurants, shops and tourist spots throughout the remainder of our visit and everything amazing. Thank you, Martin. You were the perfect start to our perfect Bruges visit. Karla & DavidPerfect start to a perfect Bruges visit

This was a great way to start a visit. Martin had great local information and great suggestions for places to eat afterwards. He seemed to know everyone and helped us find a number of out-of-the-way shops. Excellent tour.Charming and funny

We had a wonderful private tour with Martin who shared all things Bruges with us! A combination of history, anecdotes, culture, and food tastings provided a great introduction to our stay in Bruges. Martin was interesting and made history come alive. Would highly recommend!!History & Humor
