FAQ
How much distance is covered?
Around 2.5km (1.5mi). So it's not a long walk, but a lot of the interesting sites are very close to one another. Yet, we're able to talk about it for hours.
What does it mean? A free tour?*
It means that it's a Pay What You Want tour. At the end of the tour, you decide what the tour is worth to you and whether you want to reward the guide accordingly (and according to your budget). That way everyone can enjoy a tour.

reviews
This was the best guided tour I have ever been on! Tom was super knowledgeable and engaging! He gave tons of advice on where to buy specific items and was more than willing to give more suggestions if asked. He gave a great mix of history, legends, and advice. I would recommend this tour a hundred times over.

Tristan was a great tour guide & introduced us to Brussels in a fun, interesting and informative way. It set the scene & helped us to decide what else we fancied doing. You need to pay the guide at the end but that was made clear upfront & we felt the 2’30 hr tour was good value for money
reviews
We had a great walking tour with Ray. It was very informative and hit all the must see spots. Ray was a super knowledgeable and fun guy to walk with. I would definitely recommend this to anyone traveling to Bruges.
