Full description

Climb aboard an air-conditioned coach for a full-day tour of Bruges in the West Flanders region of Belgium, and discover the Belgian capital of chocolate and canals, with plenty of free time to amble. Depart Amsterdam in the morning and drive across the Dutch border. Upon arrival in Bruges, admire scenic streets and the canals that gave Bruges its nickname, "The Venice of the North." A guide will take you on a 3-hour driving tour of the city center, revealing highlights such as the Church of Our Lady on the banks of the Dijver Canal, Sint Salvator’s Cathedral (one of the few buildings to have survived the onslaught of the ages without damage), and Burg Square with its impressive City Hall. Continue on foot for approximately 30 minutes, and enjoy an optional 1-hour boat ride along some of the canals, before your return transfer to Amsterdam.

A bit pressed for time. Since it’s quite far, you only have around 2 hours of free time after the short tour when you arrive. You should map out the stores you’ll buy from and the food you’d wanna eat when you initially pass by so that you can make the most of your time.

Burges is a marvelous place but the tour itself doesn't offer much time to explore the place. Pedro, the tour guide, is knowledgeable but he's boisterous and intimidating. I would recommend reading about Burges before taking the tour make the tour a more meaningful experience. I also also would avoid talking to Pedro.

The time given to explore the town was reasonable for lunch and to explore a few hours. The guide was alright. You have to remember the way back to the bus and if u get lost and couldnt come on time they will not wait for u and u have to find your way back on your own. The price was reasonable
