Love, Architecture & Art of Bruges
We're sorry. This tour is no longer available.
Overview
A walking guided tour through several of Bruges' walls, canals, and architectural eras. The best way to experience the history of a medieval town is through its architecture. Therefore, the main focus of this tour is architecture ad its details that reflect milestones in the history of Bruges.
Jamal will stretch architecture, legends, art, love, and tiny details for you in a monodrama and sarcasm.
Last but not least, the architecture of chocolate will also be tasted during the tour. It would be so silly not to enjoy artisan handmade chocolate in the capital of artisan handmade chocolate in the world.

Jamal is simply epic! An utterly charming man with a genius measure of sarcasm and warmth. He brought stories to life using willing tourists as key characters in history. We will also never think of Swans the same way again. We loved him.

I highly recommend the architectural tour with Gamaal! This was a great way to get a rich overview of the history of the city - insightful, interesting, and engaging at the same time. It was just two of us on the tour that day, and Gamaal was available to answer all our questions. It was great spending time with him on the tour, hearing about his own experience and take on the city. All in all, the tour lasted 2.5 hours but it really felt like time flew by. Thank you again!taylorpN5974HA
