The city is beautiful but the tour guides are not that great. It was confusing to find the bus then there was a massive rush to board. They changed the departure to 30 minutes later. The tour through the city was rushed, the guy talked too fast and the radio didn't work most of the time. We ditched the guide after 30 minutes and just walked around ourselves. That was the best way to see the old city.

The bus trip to Bruges was smooth with excellent guide Sebastian and driver Jose. Enjoyed seeing the canals in Bruges. Unfortunately, our group was divided into two tour guides with one group comprising 26 people or more with one guide. This was our group. Our guide moved ahead so quickly through the congested walking traffic of Bruges that most of the group could not keep up with her. She appeared very rushed. I feel that the tour operator should have provided for much smaller groups and provided a map of Bruges during the walking experience.

Our guide was polite and wanted us to enjoy the day. She did not walk too fast, even though some said she did. We wish our guide had been easier to understand due to her heavy Spanish accent. Also she didn't alwayss have the microphone clearly positioned to be clear to our headsets. I feel that keeping 57 people together in a crowded town is difficult and needs two groups /guides.

The chocolate shops were amazing. Beautiful city. On our trip the weather wasn’t great. It was cold windy and rainy. The walk was too far for us and it was just as far to get back to the bus. I think we should have been given map. There are many turns and to us it was very confusing. Luckily our guide was nice enough to meet us at a place where we could walk back with her.
