Bruges had been on my bucket list for a while (since I saw the movie "In Bruges") and I’m so glad we went on this tour! Literally everything we saw was beautiful: the canals, the medieval architecture, the churches and cathedrals especially…The Belfort was just insane! I also have to compliment our guide Ian. Very knowledgeable and very polite!
The tour was very well organized. I felt like we saw all of Bruges on the driving tour (it’s 3 hours long), but it passed by so quickly! Probably because everything is so beautiful. Everything was on time, and I enjoyed having free time in Bruges to explore on my own, too! Highly recommend booking!

The most famous canal-rich city in the world is Venice, but Amsterdam and Bruges are quite similar to this Italian city. The Dutch capital has 165 canals, whereas Bruges has over 80 bridges and many canals. Bruges' canals were first built in the 12th century!
