Fabulous tour w Stephanie! We totally screwed up and arrived too late for our scheduled tour! She immediately added us to the afternoon tour No problem at all! If you are arriving via cruise ship the meeting place is a good 20 minute walk from the bus stop. Plan accordingly

We loved this tour. The pace was just right, and Stefanie provided a great amount of information in a clear, thoughtful, and entertaining way. I was impressed with how aware she was of the range of prior knowledge her audience might have--she was careful to provide explanations whenever she thought they might be needed, so that everyone would understand what they were seeing. She had a great energy, was very receptive to questions, and knew a lot! She clearly loves Bruges and loves sharing it with her groups. You can't go wrong with this tour.africagirl

Stephanie led us on a fun and informative walk around the city of Bruges. She shared both historical facts as well as giving us practical advice for navigating the city. It was nice to get started in the morning before the streets became too crowded.

Lovely walking tour excellently guided by Stephanie. Can thoroughly recommend this to learn all about this history of this charming city plus a chocolate tasting. Loads of pointers of where to go back to after the tour which is the point isn't it? What more could you ask on a dank, drizzly, cold day? Just like being home in England!
