★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 48 reviews · from $3

Walk from Grote Markt through Bruges’ medieval center, passing Belfort, Burg Square, Gruuthusestraat, the Halve Maan brewery, Notre Dame, the Beguinage, and Minnewater. A guide leads the route in Spanish and includes a craft chocolate tasting. The group is limited to 20, with a voluntary tip expected at the end.

“There were no clear instructions. We waited at the tower for nearly 30 minutes but didn’t see anyone with a yellow and red umbrella. After returning an hour later, we finally saw someone with the umbrella, but he was just a Spanish guide who had no idea about an English or any other language guided tour. In the end, we didn’t use this service, despite having purchased tickets in advance.”
