“We had an enchanting time on this trip. Our bus driver was polite and helpful! Pia our tour guide was amazing.

She continued giving us information and excellent tips to maximize our free time in Bruges after the guided walking part which was fun and just perfect. It makes a difference to invest on a tour rather than blindly trying to explore on your own. Pia’s command of English and Spanish languages is excellent. It was impressive how she transitioned from both and I…”

10.From Amsterdam: Private Sightseeing Tour to Bruges

★★★★★★★★★★4.6 · 14 reviews · from $921

Review this private Amsterdam to Bruges day trip, with Mercedes transport, four hours in Bruges, local tips, costs, and practical advice.

“Our driver, Gavin, was so hospitable but not intrusive. He considerately thought of bathroom breaks and availability. He walked us to different points of interest in Bruges to help us with directions. The only negative was that it was a long trip from Amsterdam to Bruges and back, which left us with little time for exploration, for all that we would have like to have seen. If you can do a longer day of it, it's worth it.”
