“Peter was absolutely brilliant, so engaging and full of facts. I just wish that I could remember everything! Probably the best guided tour that I've been on, the only problem was that 2 hours seemed to pass all too quickly. Peter couldn't keep doing these tours for the €3 fee, so remember to give him a decent tip. Even including a tip, this tour is a bargain. Thank you Peter!”

“Would have liked a local with a more in depth knowledge of Brugees. When I asked questions the guide had no idea. It would have helped if she spoke better English. She may have been excellent in her native tongue, but of course of no use to us.”
