THE Storytelling Tour of Bruges | First Day Must | History & Tips
We don't offer ordinary tours. Passionate local storytellers will use stories to make history come to life to give you a good insight into how life must have been in medieval Bruges. There's no set route. All of the storytellers have their own personal highlights for you and will adapt those to the group. So the more questions and input you give them, the better your experience will get.
