Belgium Travel Guides (Updated September 2026)

I collected my tickets within a few seconds of presenting my voucher at the Cruise Express kiosk outside the port terminal that I bough through the Cool Destinations website. The queue for the coach was 30 yards up the road and we were on the coach within 10 minutes. They drop you off at the same coach park that the vast majority of cruises and tours use as it is an easy and direct 10 minutes walk straight into town. We stepped straight onto the coach (without a queue amazingly) on our return journey as we timed our departure well. A very reliable, efficient, and good value cruise port transfer service which we have used three time now.

What a great way to be introduced to a city. Alistair was fantastic - really knowledgeable and engaging to listen to. Definitely recommend it to everyone, history buff or not!

Kenny was an awesome guide, knowledgeable, entertaining and we loved his theatrics. Would definitely recommend this tour. Derek & Helen, Melbourne. Australia

Easy to find on the port. Drop off area was close to the city centre. A member of the staff met us to make sure we got on the correct bus.

Hilde spoke excellent English, had abundant knowledge about the history of Bruges and made great jokes!

Kenny was great tour guide , nice informative tour

This was one of our favorite tours on our month long trip of Europe. Our guide was personable and entertaining. I only wish I could remember her name!! We were able to easily fill the rest of our days in Bruges with her recommendations.

Marc did a wonderful job at mixing history with relevant stories. The tour kept moving at the perfect pace.

It’s a real immersive tour, where your are right in the spot where it all happen. The guide was a rebound military historian. He had so much information. It was amazing.

Britt was a wonderful guide. She was very knowledgeable and funny. Definitely book with her if you can.

Our guide Gabriel was great, and extremely knowledgeable. Other guests asked all variety of questions and he had a solid command of local history and the wider context. He is a master's student but not in history though that did not seem to be an issue. I'm quite comfortable on a bike and think only those that don't bike at all as adults could struggle and then only on the few minor hills. Beautiful city!

Artur was an amazing tour guide!! He was very knowledgeable and engaging, and the content was so fascinating. Definitely recommend taking this tour, especially early in your trip. Artur showed us places and gave so many great recommendations that helped guide the rest of our time in Bruges!

Great experience with many beers, plenty of waffles and definitely tipsey afterwards. Our host was entertaining and knowledgeable. Recommended

We had Martin King as our wonderful historian and guide for the day. He is a wealth of knowledge! It's a long day from Brussels but so worth it.

This was a last minute plan as my daytime tour was cancelled and I’m glad I did! Arthur was a fantastic tour guide! Lots of interesting history about Bruges and the darker side of the city. He was a lot of fun! Very enjoyable tour!

It’s a good day of travelling and visiting 2 very lovely and interesting cities. Our tour guide was Jorge and he offered a lot of information.
