Bruges Day Trip: Amsterdam's Exclusive Fairytale Escape

If you are wondering if the long drive is worth the side trip, the answer is YES. Bruges is wonderful. The team were all very nice (Rafa, Diego and driver M who was very very skilled). I would give the tour company a 4.9/5 with suggestions for perfection…. 1) Have someone at the departure location earlier so that the arriving clients don’t start the day with uncertainty. 2) The local guide should do some of the historical background while walking - Walk and talk. After the three hour bus ride we were all anxious to get to the city centre and the backgrounder could have been delivered while we were walking. Don’t let these small points detract from the day. It was really very good.

Blanca and Oscar did an outstanding job. A wealth of knowledge. Well paced. Highly recommended, both the intineray and your guides. Bruge is wonderful.

Great information on the tour, long day but worth it. Went as a solo traveller and met some wonderful people

Lovely day at brugge what an amazing city and experience with viator, PIA was the best tour guide ever

The drive is 4 hours from Amsterdam to Brugge. Rest of the trip is great. The tour guide was very informative

This tour was amazing. Our guide was very nice and she had a ton of knowledge make this tour worth every penny. Bruge is a very beautiful place taking us back to medevial times. Loved chocolate and waffles. Will strongly recommend to take this tour with this company.

The tour had great potential. The bus ride was great, the guide on the bus was great. What was not great was the guide we were paired with in Brugges. To be frank, he was boring and uninspired. I’ve been on dozens of tours in my life and this is the first guide I’ve left and explored on my own. It could have been much better.

Excellent guide (Pia), very knowledgeable on the destination and history. Great value for the price and a lovely time at the Christmas market!

Just enough fun/ interesting facts not only about Bruges but about Netherlands on the way down from Amsterdam. Guide was great but her recommendations for food choices turned out to be just OK. We were quite miffed by the waiter telling us after we ate a very expensive lunch that he couldn’t take credit card, saying the machine was not working. Beware.

Walking through Bruges was fantastic. The buildings and architecture were amazing. We had a wonderful lunch of mussels at Brasserie Rozenhoedkaai.
