Mijn man dol op historie, ik op de verhalen, beide werd onze verwachtingen ingelost. Anna heeft ons mee op sleeptouw genomen door Brugge door steegjes en straten en wist ons te verassen met een super toffe toer. En ook nog een paar leuke, en lekkere stopjes aangegeven onder weg. De dag nadien zijn we op haar aanraden dan ook nog met de fiets er op uit getrokken. Wat er voor zorgde dat het een geslaagd weekend was.AnnVDM

We genoten van verrassende legendes. We hoorden boeiende verhalen. Nu betekenen de talrijke beelden veel meer voor me. Ik let op bas-reliëfs die ik voordien niet zag. En...we ontdekten schitterende plekjes. Een aanrader!

If you’re looking to discover Bruges less like a tourist and more like a local, this tour with Anna is the way to go! This 3 hour tour had so much to offer. We visited the highlights of the city, learned about the rich history of Bruges and still had time to sneak in the hidden gems that only the locals know about. The tastings were a true depiction of regional specialties and I find that eating like a local helps me connect with the culture so much more. Anna specifically is an excellent story-teller, so you will definitely be entertained as you eat piping-hot fries and taste the finest Belgian chocolate. Book a tour with her, and you won’t regret it!luclemarcq2020

Dank der Tour haben wir sehr viel über Brügge erfahren und Plätze gesehen, die wir vielleicht alleine niemals gefunden hätten. Es gab sehr viel Hintergrundwissen. Absolut empfehlenswert!
