The experience
You're picked up from your Brussels location and travel privately to Bruges, where the tour centers on the medieval heart: the Market Square, the Belfry, the Basilica of the Holy Blood, Burg Square and the network of canals that give the city its character. The boat ride through the water is included, letting you see the architecture and bridges from a different angle. From there, the route moves to Ghent, where you'll see Saint Bavo's Cathedral, the Belfry, Saint Nicholas' Church, the Graslei and Korenlei waterfront, and the Gravensteen Castle looming above the city. What you stop for and how long you spend at each place is yours to decide. The itinerary is flexible and tailored to what interests you.
The vehicle is air-conditioned and equipped with WiFi and bottled water. Depending on your group size, you can book a spacious minivan for up to seven guests, a luxury minivan for up to seven, or a luxury car or comfort car for up to three. A professional guide travels with you and speaks English, Spanish, Italian, French or one of several other languages. If you want photos or video of the day, the guide handles that at no extra charge and sends them to you afterward. Child car seats and specialized infant seats are available if you're traveling with young children.
The tour works for families, couples and small groups who want to move at their own pace without the constraints of a fixed schedule or a larger group. Wheelchair-accessible transportation is available, and the tour suits all fitness levels. You return to your Brussels pickup point at the end of the day.
