You’ll jump back in time to explore Brussels with our host - not to worry, you won’t need a time machine. Take a scenic 1-hour train from Brussels to the enchanting medieval city of Bruges and the minute you step out into the streets, you’ll feel like you’re in a fairytale. Meander through the cobbled streets, alongside the canals and discover why this Flemish city is known as “Venice of the North”. Together with you host, you’ll explore beautifully persevered medieval landmarks like St John's Hospital, the Begijnhof and the Beguinage.
Within 24 hours after booking you'll receive a short questionnaire about your personality and interests. Based on your responses, you'll be assigned a like-minded local host. Your host will communicate with you directly to suggest an itinerary to help you discover what makes the city unique. You will also agree on a meeting time and place. Your itinerary is flexible, so during the experience, you can always change your mind about what you want to do.

It was a great day, my guide met me in the morning exactly as planned and had our train tickets all set up, so off we went. We had a great chat along the way and the ride went quickly. We got off the train and started exploring Bruges. My guide had a ton of knowledge and recommended many different places. She had a great lunch spot in mind and we enjoyed some great local food. We had a great day exploring the various sites of Bruges, I wouldn't hesitate booking this tour again!

Not a great experience. It was crowded and rainy. Want chocolate or lace, maybe a waffle with a medieval town square? That’s pretty much the appeal and our guide had to check an app on his phone to tell us what we were seeing. Really? I’d head to Antwerp or spend more time in Amsterdam. Just not worth it.

Ricardo took the time to find out what our group liked to do and researched the best stops to make the most of our time in Bruges!

I travel often and have always used the guides suggested in Rick Steves book.
This was my first time using tripadvisor and I want you to know that Ricardo was by far my best and favorite.
He is knowledgeable above the typical attractions and a very kind person.
He is a must have tour guide!

Ricardo Mota was our private guide for our tour of Bruges. He met us at our Brussels hotel and walked us to the train station where we caught the train to Bruges. Once there, Ricardo had done his homework and geared the tour around our interests and sights we wanted to see. He was able to personalize the tour in this way because he had us answer a query about our interests, places we wanted to see, etc. Never had any guide anywhere gone to this extent to insure we were given an enjoyable yet comprehensive tour. He immersed us in the local scene as well as taking us to the “must see” places in Bruges. His command of English is excellent and his demeanor was very friendly and easygoing yet professional. We’d tour with him again in a heartbeat.

We decided to go the private guide route for a tour of Bruges. Granted it was more expensive than a group tour, but we’ll worth the extra. Our guide, Ricardo, sent a questionnaire in order to find out our interests and must see places and things. He designed the tour specifically to our answers to his inquiry. He didn’t rush us at all and gave us all we could see and do in the 10 hours spent with him.
