We were so fortunate to have Emiel as our guide. He is a lovely story teller; very engaging in his delivery. The tour itself was well paced with interesting stops along the way. Would highly recommend.

The walking tour with Jan was excellent. He told great stories and was clearly an absolute expert on the history of Brugge. He also engaged his audience very well throughout the tour and was able to offer additional information on the fly when people had questions.
