Bruges Guided Tour + Boat Ride

  • 517 reviews | 6,308 travellers
    Everything was excellent! We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and they delivered on absolutely everything. Jaris, our guide, was fantastic, very funny, and explained everything perfectly. The boat trip was spectacular, and the beer tasting was incredible. Ideal for visiting with family, friends, or as a couple. The experience is highly recommended.

Activity Details

At the indicated starting time, we'll meet outside the Bruges train station, opposite Carrefour Express for a guided walking tour of Bruges, one of the most romantic cities in Europe that's sure to steal your heart!

We'll go on a two-hour-long walking tour of the historic centre of this medieval city, declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1999, as we uncover its hidden gems while taking in its iconic monuments.

The Church of Our Lady of Bruges, with the second-highest brick tower in the world, St. John's Hospital, The Gruuthusemuseum, The Basilica of the Holy Blood and many other emblematic sites will form part of the tour. 

We'll visit the Lake of Love (Minnewater) to take our own pictures of one of Bruges' most celebrated spots and visit The Beguinage (Begijnhof), which was founded in the 13th century to house widows and orphans. The calm and peaceful atmosphere in this part of the city is fascinating.

Our guided walking tour will finally come to a close in The Market Square (Markt). As we say our goodbyes, we'll hand over your tickets for a 30-minute boat trip through the city's canals - the perfect end to the tour!
