Beautiful city. No headphones. Group of 30!!! Couldn’t hear tour guide . Large group and crowded city. Guide was very arrogant and didn’t try to make adjustments so everyone could hear. The worst.

LOVED the city. My only issue is there were not audio headsets to listen to the 1 hour tour. When booking, the 1 hour tour said optional, however we learned it was not. Which would have been fine, however, the majority of people could not even hear the information because it was such a large group. Due to this, that first hour seemed like a waste of time, which we already did not have a lot of. We could have spent that hour actually exploring and learning about the city.

Bruges is beautiful and worth a trip all on its own. If it’s this La Vacanza Travel tour or nothing, ok. Do your research ahead of time and know what you want to see. Also, be aware thst a sit down meal will cut deeply into your time. Don’t have high expectations on the part of the guide who will give a 1 hour guided tour of the city then turn you loose. Ours was Pieter. Ok info on the bus. When we got to Bruges, it turned out that a microphone set had ‘not been available’. La Vacanza Travel- how is that even possible and how do you not ensure guides have mikes available? What was annoying is that Pieter didn’t bother to wait for the group to all be next to him before he started speaking. And he didnt bother to speak up, even knowing he had no mike. So you couldnt hear. He seemed put out when asked to repeat what he said. This is the first time I’ve seen nobody giving a tip at the end of a tour. A little heads up —. On the way back to the bus, follow the same route that you took on the way into the city. I followed Google Maps just to see something different. It took me into the park which was nice, but the sidewalks connecting to the drop off zone were all closed and I had to backtrack. This could be a problem if you’re short on time!

The price is right for this day trip! Ian was a fantastic guide. He talked just enough but not too much on the 3 1/2 hour trip about some of the points of interest along the way. He was engaging and fun. The 5 hours in Bruges was enough to see all we wanted to see, shop, and have some lunch and drinks. Ian didn’t talk at all on the trip back which was great letting those who wanted to snooze do so in quiet.
