“We had been told that Bruge was a beautiful, must-see city, but we had only one day there. Our private tour (four of us) with Coen was just what we needed: a knowledgeable and personable guide with an obvious interest and education in the history of the area. He listened to our questions and answered them, rather than depending on a prepared tour speech. We felt that in our 2.5 hours we saw a lot of Bruge and learned much about the history of the city and its early importance to the world economy. We highly recommend this tour.”

Our guide did a fabulous job of explaining Bruges' history from the Middle Ages onward. Standout treats were the meats and cheeses and the waffles. Our guide recommended that we have our waffle without any toppings as there is sugar in the dough, and oh my, he was 100% correct. We look forward to returning to Bruges to pick up where we left off.”
