Unexpected Bruges: medieval folkstories, fairytales and legends | small group tour with a local

A unique storytelling walking tour to discover the real 'fairytale city' of Bruges.

A city is made of more than just stones. It’s the juicy stories and local legends that make a place truly come alive. Explore the historic centre of Bruges through the tales that have been told here for centuries.

As we leave the busy crowds behind and enter the narrow alleys of this medieval town, you'll discover what’s really behind the fairytale facade. From star-crossed lovers to water demons, cackling witches with a peculiar sense of humour and the devil himself: you’ll meet them all along the way. 

During this tour, we'll come across some of the most beloved sights in the city, whilst veering off the beaten track for most of the tour. After all, we go where the legend takes us. 

What was up with mr. Antonio’s delicious pies? Why is a mythical king flying through town on a massive beer barrel? And what’s that mysterious shape floating through the city’s canals? 

Join me and find out!
