Tour guide was a wonderful, knowledgeable and funny tour guide. She really showed us the best of Bruges and had lots of recommendations. The 30 minute boat ride was lovely. We got a lot of history and beauty during this tour that lasted about 2.5 hours. It’s a decent amount of walking but not too much.
