What a phenomenal evening. Our guide was Hilda and she was great. A perfect attitude and full of local knowledge. We spent 2 hours seeing sites that we would definitely have missed on our own. We contributed 40 euros and it was well worth it.

It was informative and fun. Our tour guide was very entertaining. The information was more about the history of Bruges with less focus on folklore

We did the "Dark Side" night tour of Bruges with our guide, Martin. He was terrific -- Had many stories and legends to tell us as we walked around some of the Bruges neighborhoods. I liked that he spoke loudly and was easy to hear (we had a very large group of 24 people on the night we took the tour so that can get a little tricky). My wife and I had done a bike tour earlier in the day, so we weren't sure whether to do this night walking tour. I highly recommend that you do it. You see a totally different side of the city at night. The lights and canals and buildings seem to stand out even more. And one huge plus is that there are far fewer people around the city at night, so it's much less crowded. It's just kind of a part spooky, part romantic atmosphere that you simply don't get during the day with the big crowds everywhere. I felt like I got some of the best photos from our entire trip to Belgium (Ghent, Bruges, Brussels) on this night tour.

Would recommend anyone visiting Bruges for the first time and before going off exploring the town, to take this tour. Hilda was fantastic with her knowledge and history telling. Funny and was very happy to take questions or explain more. Very good tour and you get a discount for the canal cruise.

Hilde did really well especially her multilingual explanations about all the different information were impressive

The guide showed us a side of Bruges I wouldn't have seen and his knowledge was amazing and full of humour, I definitely recommend it

Louis was a brilliant guide. Clearly loved the town and the history and great story teller and good at pointing out the little things that makes a great tour. Def worth doing. Thanks

Beautiful way to experience the nooks and crannies of Bruges that other walking tours might overlook. Enjoyed the numerous fun facts regarding eels, swans, and witches. Our guide had nothing but respect for cats.
