Trip highlights

01 Explore Bruges with your own private guide and chauffeur from Brussels
02 See the Markt, the Belfry, and historic Burg Square
03 Walk along Bruges' iconic canals to the Rozenhoedkaai
04 Visit the Basilica of the Holy Blood in the medieval heart of the city
05 Enjoy a Belgian chocolate tasting with local recommendations

Bruges' canals and guild houses have survived almost untouched since its medieval trading heyday, making a walk through the city with your own private guide feel less like sightseeing and more like quietly stepping back in time. Travel from Brussels in a luxury Mercedes with your private guide and chauffeur, then explore the Markt, the Belfry, Burg Square, the Basilica of the Holy Blood, and the iconic Rozenhoedkaai on foot. Along the way, enjoy a chocolate tasting with local recommendations, time for a Belgian waffle or a local beer, and the option to add a canal boat ride before lingering at the peaceful Beguinage. The pace is entirely yours, with pickup and drop-off in Brussels included for your group only.

Continue to Burg Square and the Basilica of the Holy Blood.

Take a walk along the canals to the Rozenhoedkaai, the most photographed corner of Bruges.

Enjoy a chocolate tasting with local recommendations, along with time for Belgian waffles or a local beer.

You may also choose an optional canal boat ride to see the city from the water.

Later, enjoy free time at the peaceful Beguinage or at a cafe on the Markt.
