Day Trip to Bruges from Brussels

Tony was an absolutely perfect guide to this charming, historic, treasure of a city. I'd go back again in a minute. Happy to answer questions, knowledgeable, and entertaining. It was a hugely crowded day, and whenever possible he navigated around the crowds, yet hit major sites.

Great trip for a full day! Antonio was wonderful and very conscientious with his group of thirteen of all ages! The walking was not too fast or strenuous for me, an elder citizen!

I took the day trip to Bruges by train 1 h 10 min. and was very happy with this choice. It was Saturday, so I did not return to Brussels with the guide walking tour concluded at 2 p.m., but much later. Especially since there are trains connecting Bruges to Brussels every half hour, until 11 p.m. The British-Belgian guide was great and gave us a two hour very informative walking tour. The city is small and absolutely lovely, well worth a visit. The entire event was very well organized, in English only, and with some 15-20 tourists at most - which also made it very pleasant.

The trip to Bruges was quite good. It is a beautiful village worth visiting. The guide was entertaining and told us the relevant stories and took us to the important sites as well. However, I am reducing what would have been a 5* rating if the trip had not been so rushed. The trip was 6 hours from the time the trip started from the reporting location at 9.30am to the time we reached back to Brussels Station 3.30pm. The tour was advertised as 7 hours (approx). Cutting down an hour was not a good action. We did not have any time in Bruges to visit the Bruges Zot Beer Museum or take a Boat ride, as the lunch break given of 1 hour could not enable us to explore Bruges much on our own. The option of staying back and returning on our own later by train is a poor compromise when the trip itself should have been an hour longer. Tourists may not want to find their own way back from the City center to the Bruges train station.
