Bruges Express City Tour from Brussels
Tour / Activity
Location: Brussels, Belgium
My Review: Even though I am grateful for the chance to see Bruges I do feel the tour itself was very pour. We left Brussels at 12pm and got there around 13.30pm, had a look at the lake of love, the swans, where the nuns live, then the chocolate shop - that brought it to about 14.10pm, then we were taken for lunch until 15.00pm!! Everyone had finished within 10minutes but we had to then walk around until 15.00pm so the tour could start again... that long is REALLY not needed for lunch considering the guide then walked us along to the Church Of Our Lady (where the Michelangelo statue is) and said a few words (BUT DIDN'T GO IN), showed us the other areas of "interest" on the map provided and left us to it, therefore this wasn't really a tour, more a lift there and back to Bruges and a help in the right direction to where to visit. I was highly disappointed by this! AND by the time the guide had talked to us and pointed us in the right direction it was around 15.25pm, the guide then pointed out from where we were it would take 20mins to walk to the area where the bus was picking us up from, therefore we only had an hour (from the belfry it was a 30min walk) to see the main attractions and considering we spent near enough that time eating, when we really didn't need that I felt left down. The guide was pleasant enough though.

Brussels Half-Day City Tour
Tour / Activity
Location: Brussels, Belgium
My Review: The guide, Daniel, was charming and informative. I really enjoyed my trip as I got to see a lot of Brussels, and areas I wouldn't have gone as it wasn't within walking distance. It had a nice range of places it passed and the recorded commentary on the coach was interesting without overloading oneself with information. A very enjoyable tour!
