“Our guide was Jean Bapthiste, a good driver and excellent asset for visiting Brugges. As requested tour was in Spanish. Pick up on time in a 8 passenger mini SUV. Jean made stop into gas station to use toilets or buy snacks. It was a very cold day with rain and snow walking tour. The boat activity was closed due to weather. However we followed his dinner recommendations, and he nailed it!! Food, waffles and chocolates from the best places. Loved and enjoyed Christmas season in Brugges!!”
