The 15 Best Bruges Tours

111 reviewed

Bruges is compact enough to see in a day and busy enough to ruin if you time it badly. Start with the boat, which shows you the city from the water it was built for, then choose between a walking guide, the Belfry climb and the chocolate museums. Every option below carries its price, its length and a note on when it actually runs.

★★★★★★★★★★4.2 · 1,379 reviews · from $16

Audio-led chocolate tour in Bruges with free tastings and a live demo, tracing 4,000 years of cacao history in 90 minutes.

“Great stuff. At first, thought it might be a bit naff but there was a lot more to see, read and listen to and it's amazing to see how we get from cacao pods through a spicy watery drink to the solid chocolates we know and love, the part that sugar played, and negative aspects like the exploitation of people in the countries where it grows. A good little demo and free tasting at the end too. Only bit that could be improved would be more logical numbering of the exhibits that trigger the audio which were somewhat random!Read more”
