Travel by air-conditioned coach from Amsterdam to Bruges with an English-speaking guide. Walk through Minnewater, the Begijnhof, Burg Square, and Markt, hear the city’s medieval stories, enjoy about two hours of free time, and get tips for chocolate, waffles, and lunch.

“We had a very pleasant experience. The driver José and guide Blanca were both very professional. Despite the 3 hour bus ride, it did not feel long as Blanca would share info and insights throughout the journey. She spoke bilingually, and everything was always said in both Spanish and English so you do not miss anything. The tour in Bruges itself was nice and we felt that a lot was covered. TIP: If you plan to climb the bell tower, book quickly straight after your tour ends. You may have to wait an hour or two for your timeslot.”

“Bruges is a beautiful medieval city that should not be missed if you have the time. One of our daughters best described it as straight out of a fairy tale. Our driver, Mesut, was a thoughtful, knowledgeable guide who maximized the time in the city. Our only complaint was we wish we could have spent more time there. Given the traffic we had three hours to enjoy the city but we could have spent an entire weekend there exploring.
