He even stopped the bus to get all of us to taste fresh organic apples from a local place which definitely tasted better”

The tour was structured very well. One hour of highlights and orientation of Brussels and Bruges, then free time for food and exploring on your own (1.5 hrs each). Very well balanced in that there was enough time to see things you were interested in. Will definitely recommend.”

All aspects from the canal ride to the great visit to the tulip farm and finishing up with Keukenhof gardens was a delight. Being a bit older the flexibility to leave by bus when it suited us was a great end to a great day.”

“The trip started at 9 am and took 3.5 hours to get to Bruges and after that a speedy hour long tour with free time after that. It was almost 2 pm before we had free time and we were hungry and tired. The walking tour guide MIKE kept making references to tipping and shamelessly asked for tips at the end.
