3.00Unfortunately, the schedule was not followed. Although the guides were knowledgeable and friendly, they dragged their talks too long. We only have 20 mins in the Market Square in Brugge. The schedule stated 60 mins at the Basilica of Holy Blood, the guide just lo pointed the church to us. Meeting place to reconvene was not clear. We ended up waiting for others but they were already in the coach.
Great Bruges tour

5.00We had a wonderful day with our guide Patrick. He kept the tour engaging with fun stories and information as well as treating us to some chocolate and beer! The canal tour is absolutely worth it—informative, fun, and one of the best ways to truly experience Bruges.
Best of Bruges!

5.00Our cruise arrived to port late--but no worries!! The tour company tracked our arrival, and was in pre-emptive communication with us about pick up and itinerary adjustments. Extremely proactive communication, and we knew exactly what to expect. We had a group of 12 (yes 12) and our tour guide, Wilm, might be one of my favorite ever. He is clearly passionate about the history of Bruges, and took us to all the points of interest. His commentary was knowledgeable and quite funny. We enjoyed his personality quite a bit. We wished we had had some additional time in Bruges to explore on our own, but since our cruise was late to port, we had to omit that part of the tour. I would highly recommend this tour.
Avoid this tour.

1.00Avoid this tour at least with the guides we were given. Poor direction, leadership over the group and no attention to the needs of the group. Difficult to understand. One bathroom break in the beginning and none later without attitude . Late morning departure and he complained the entire tour that’s why he needed to rush us. We were there on time Very grumpy guide. Easily irritated. The Guide were late to final meeting point. He told us to be there 15 minutes before his planned time to leave but he was late and other members were late or couldn’t keep up with his fast pace. He gave us a false rime to gather when he and the other guide were late. Leaving us no time to eat or shop. I’ve never had a Viator experience like this. Wished we would have just did our own tour without this guide. At the end the guide had no idea where our bus was wasting 20 plus minutes, the other guide finally found our bus did but they did not communicate. The guides finally loaded us on the bus and did not join us instead exited the bus not saying goodbye and leaving us with the driver who did not speak English. The guides left walking off with each other. Horrible experience. I would like my time in Bruges back which I cannot get and my money back!
Wonderful

2.00Have been on MANY tours and this was a total waste of money. We were late leaving the port so had to literally almost run to catch up. Could not understand the guides English and his attitude was horrible. We were supposed to have 1 1/2 hr to eat and explore and had 20 minutes. Our guide was late to meeting point and had no idea where our bus was for the return to the ship which cost us another 30 minutes. Have used VIATOR many times. If this had been my first experience with VIATOR would never book with them again
Best Guide in Bruge

5.00Our guide Patrick was amazing. So much history to share and he was so knowledgeable and patient with questions. And the “surprise” treats of chocolate and beer were a great extra. Would recommend to anyone interested in the history as well as the shopping and food experiences.
The best of Bruges in Zeebrugge Belgium

3.00Get your walking/running shoes on. There is a lot to see, but, walking on cobblestones can be challenging to those with balance issues. We wished we had more than 30 minutes on the canal ride. There was so much more to explore, so plan to go back in the future. Don’t forget this is the place for beer and chocolate lovers
Informative Guide
