When my friends first said to do a boat tour in Brugge, I really wasn't sure. But once I got on the…read moreboat I knew it was the best thing to do on the first day there. We got there around 4:50pm. Many things around the city close around 5 or 6 pm so it was a great start to our trip considering it was a tour of 30 minutes. Our boat guide was great and gave us information on the buildings that we saw. The views are some of the best in the city. I highly recommend.

Took this Canal Tour based on our Tour Guide's recommendation. This is the Tour that lasts 35…read moreminutes Vs 20 minutes for the other Tour companies. I had to get back to the tour meeting point within an hour so I didn't have much time to wait. I asked if it would be a wait and was told that it shouldn't be long (10 minutes max) but it ended up being 1/2 hour. Seems the Boat tours get busier as the afternoon progresses. It was a nice/Hot day and some type of shade in the waiting area would have been nice. 12 Euros and they do accept cards. This was my second time taking the tour and it was ok. It was difficult to hear the Captain/Guide given he was speaking fast as he was trying to provide the information in a couple of languages. In addition, the PA system wasn't clear. Overall, a good way to see Brugge from the canal perspective. More to enjoy the sights vs sights and information.

It's an ok canal ride…read more Highlights: + 12€ for a 30-minute boat ridge + The boats themselves hold over 20+ people. Seating is on a padded bench that goes along the sides of the boat and a handful of individual seats in the middle + Entry/exit of the boat requires stepping up and onto the seat and then down. If you are traveling with someone with extreme mobility issues, you should take this into consideration. + While the drive did try and give commentary during the trip, it what somewhat hard to hear due to being in the back and the lack of whatever microphone they were attempting to use + There are restrooms once you get in; however, they do ask for a 0,20€ payment. Thought the doors were not tied to any locking mechanism if you didn't pay like some individuals seemed to do. **There is one bridge that you go under 2x within the first 5 minutes of the cruise that does require you to duck, so pay attention to the drive when they tell you to. Overall, a nice way to see Bruge on the water and to give you an idea of where to go back to and explore on foot

Boten Stael is one of many small companies that offers canal tours through Brugge. The tours are…read more30 minutes, and go past all of the main sights in town. The tour was a nice way to get oriented to the area, and a pleasant way to sightsee while not having to walk. The tours leave regularly, it looked like every 10 minutes or so, and our wait was very short after paying. The boat was comfortable, and our guide spoke excellent English and was easy to understand. The quality of the tour is very guide dependent, and I had read this prior to going on the canal tour. Our guide explained sites concisely, but lacked the humor and constant banter that we saw on other canal tours when we sat by a canal later that day. The canal tour wasn't an outstanding highlight of our trip to Brugge, but I enjoyed it, and given the low cost, I felt it was worth the time and money. Pro tip: show a Rick Steves guidebook at this tour company to get the group rate, it saved us 3 euros/person. Also as a side note: I get terribly sea sick on boats and was totally comfortable on the canal boat; the ride was very smooth and not at all bouncy.

It's the most efficient and enjoyable way to see parts of the city by water. it only lasts about 35 minutes and before or after the tours you are in a lovely part of the city where you can get any of the signature foods of Bruges. Dank je wel Gianni!
