“This was one of the most enjoyable tours I’ve experienced in Europe. Our guide Yoost, was exceptional. He was friendly, patient, jovial, and a true historian. His storytelling with pictures brought great depth to the tour instead of lots of facts. I felt he hit the most important parts of Bruges and shared extra information that was very helpful to tourists to better navigate their stay in the city. It was a beautiful day which added to the fun. I would recommend this tour to anyone who can ride a bike.”

“We have been in Europe for 6 solid weeks and we both agree, this was the best tour of all!!! Our guide, David, couldn't have been better - he made it exceptionally interesting. We took a 10am tour, which was good as it avoided most of the Sunday crowd that descended on Bruges later (although part of the tour is in quieter areas anyway). It was so quiet going by pedicab that we could hear David very clearly, even as he rode along, and he also stopped to talk about particularly interesting sights and we could hop out and take photos. The absolute best way of exploring Bruges. My mother…”

Starting point was easy to find and getting started was simple. Xavier was a nice person and informative guide. Everything is flat and so the biking is not strenuous, and Xavier is careful to be sure you are safe where you cross roads here and there.

Good mix between biking and occasionally walking. The bike was moderate. The first bike the chain was right off, I got another one, the saddle sagged very slowly during the ride. The other bikes were fine. The guide was not easy to find. No sign or other landmark. After a phone call, we found each other. Meeting at bike rental place would be more convenient because we still had to walk there. Our guide (Ann?) was top…”
