Overview

On this exclusive walking tour, you will be taken along by a local historian and experienced guide, who was born and raised in Bruges and has lived here all his life.

In addition to a good introduction to Bruges, you will be guided along the highlights, with attention to facts, legends, and local customs. If possible, we enter a medieval house or focus on what goes on in the city through the eyes of a local.
