A free walking tour?! Count me in! This one in Bruges is quality too. After living here for two months, this tour still revealed several new pockets of the small city that I had yet to see. The information was super fascinating and it lasted about two hours. Just show up and enjoy the adventure. Definitely bring cash so you can tip your tour guide (per person). read more

We went on the historical tour with our guide, Nico!!!! He was Great!!! He made history very entertaining and memorable! There were people on our tour that had been on the tour the day before and came back with friends, just to hear Nico's information! read more

We actually had two tours, one in Ghent and the other is Bruge. Be prepared to do a lot of walking, each tour was about 90 minutes long. Also, it is helpful to have an umbrella and raincoat if it looks at all like it may be inclement. On one of the tours we had to find cover due to dime sized hailstones whichsuddenly came out of the sky! Anyway, the tour guides are energetic, fun, knowledgable and give you enough time to take photos and ask questions. Plus, they often ask trivia and in our case we were awarded a bag of Belgian chocolates. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! read more

We found our group & joined Pascal. He whisked us past crowds, through squares and all over Bruges for an hour and a half. He really needs a stage; his stories story & expressions were priceless. Pascal's love for Bruges really shined through and we appreciated his wonderful photographs. I wish there was more time to souvenir shop, unfortunately, we didn't get a chance to say goodbye as we ducked into a chocolate shop, and then lost our group. Thank you Pascal for an informative & wonderful time in Brussels! read more

I went on the night tour and the day tour to see different parts of the city. You sign up online and at the end you can pay a suggested tip of 10 euros per person. Great way to get acquainted with the city and learn. read more

Bruges is such a magical storybook town that is rich in history, but If you're not up to speed on your Belgium history, the next best thing is to take this free walking tour. You meet your tour guide right in the middle of the main town square. Reservations are required, but there were a few people that just walked up and asked to join the group. Since this is a free tour they were allowed to join. That is fine and dandy, however, this tour doesn't use headsets, and this tour guide spoke very softly, and was very hard to hear her, unless you were right next to her, with so many people in the group it wasn't always easy to be in ear shot. Jeannette, our tour guide, was full of fascinating information about the town of Bruges, there was only a couple of problems. 1. She was very soft-spoken that you could hardly hear her. 2. She talked very slowly that you found your mind wandering. 3. She walked soooo slow, that I almost wanted to help her along. There were three people in our tour group that told her (on more than one occasion) that they had to leave early because they had to catch a cab back to their cruise ship. She promised that the tour would be over in plenty of time for them to leave to catch their ride back to the cruise ship, unfortunately this didn't happen. This was supposed to be a two-hour tour, which ended up being more than 2 hours, that the three people that had to get back to their ship, ended up leaving before the tour was over. The tour finally ended, but didn't give us much time to explore Brugge on our own, because we only had one day here, and we had to leave to catch our train back to where we were staying. I highly recommend this tour for a quick overview of Bruges steeped in history, and maybe you will see places that you wouldn't go on your own. read more

Over the course of five days in Bruges, I took all three of Legends' free walking tours. All tours meet in the market square, and you just need to look for the people with the red umbrellas. Tour #1 - Legends of Bruges: This tour offers some history on the city, but isn't dry. You'll walk from market square south, all the way to Minnewater lake and the Beguinage. You'll also note the locations of many other food places, churches, and museums you may wish to return to. This is a fantastic tour to do on your first day in Bruges. Tour #2 - Tasting: I've never been on a free tasting tour before, and this one didn't disappoint. You'll receive a generous sample from House of Waffles, frites at the museum dedicated to that particular snack, pieces of chocolate, a candy well loved in Bruges, and a beer. Here's an important side note: The tours are, of course, tip based. On the day I took the tasting tour, many events in Bruges were being run for charity. Each company participating chose their own charity, and Legends had chosen a suicide hotline because one of their guides died by suicide in the summer of 2018. I'm sure that guide was as wonderful as the ones I toured with, and it's a good reminder to listen and be kind, even when you're a hot, tired, entitled tourist. It really can't be easy dealing with us tourists all day! My thoughts remain with Legends and with their guide family. Lisbeth was my host here, and she was outstanding. Due to the cause, I tipped even more than I usually do. Tour #3: Night tour. Lavinia was my guide, and she clearly loves her job! This tour will take you east of the market square, all the way out to the windmills. You will hear some great stories and walk through some beautiful neighborhoods you'd NEVER see on your daily touring. Legends is a great company, and they employ smart, engaged guides. This is a no-reservation 5 star review! read more

We loved this ! We only had 2 full days in Brugges , we had teens and seniors with us too! Perfect Way to see a lot and stay active enough for teens to engage ... but pace and stops were great for seniors to keep up !! Our guide was very knowledgeable, kind and considerate ! Very professional and on time !! We have done free purple umbrella tours all over southern Spain as well. We have never been disappointed ! We would have loved to try the late night tour as well . But ran out of time. Very easy to sign up online to be sure you have your spot ! read more

I really liked this walking tour! I've only done a few night walking tours, but I think the legends night tour with Nicholas as our guide is at the top of my list! He was very entertaining with the way he told all the legends and stories, and it gave me a really cool perspective on Bruges that I didn't get during the day. read more

Great tour!! We went to the night one. Wish we could have gone to the day one as well but we only had limited time in Bruges. The guide was a good mixture of informative and entertaining. He took us to several good viewpoints and interesting locations throughout Bruges and we moved at a good pace. It's "free" but I'm pretty sure everyone donates bc it's definitely worth it. He didn't make it into a high pressure situation though, you just put money in his hat, which I thought was very nice of him. You also get a free Jupiler beer at the pub afterwards! read more

Really fun tours, I joined the free walking tour and the night one as well. Both were really fun and informative, and I got to learn a lot about Bruges, as well as see some places I wouldn't have otherwise gone to! Groups might get a bit big because I don't think they restrict the size, but it wasn't too bad when I went. Highly recommend! read more

Fantastic free tour with Lavinia last night. Her beaming personality and cuteness made her stories that much more enjoyable. Such enthusiasm about "her" country and town! She answered all my questions and made a fantastic suggestion for dinner considering the few options left at 10pm. read more

Loved this tour! Our tour guide was Jan (or John) and he was great! Very informative and interesting tour about the history of Bruges. The two hours flew by and definitely felt like we got to see all the sights and sounds. There were EASILY 40 people on our tour but I was always able to hear. As far as I know, the tour is only in english. They are donation based so make sure to tip!! read more

I contacted them first on Facebook to make sure they were doing the 945am tour since it had been raining. We did the tour with Louis and had an amazing time learning about this beautiful city! Louis was born and raised here so you are definitely getting the real legends history! He's super nice and very informative. The tour lasted exactly 2.5 hours so prepare to walk a lot, see a lot of beautiful sites and learn about this amazing cute town! At the end, he will also give you some tips on where to get delicious chocolates, beer and waffles with discount/free vouchers! Don't leave Bruges without doing this tour! read more

Joined a lunch time tour and Louis was fantastic. Very insightful and he shared many stories that highlight the beauty of Bruge and his love for the city. He has also had pictures and tips about where to learn more about the history. This tour made my trip. Thank you! read more

The best walking tour in Bruges! Louis (a native of Bruges) went above and beyond with his knowledge of the beautiful city. I will be recommending this tour to all of my family and friends that visit Bruges in the future. read more

This walking tour was one of my favorites I have done. It was very informative and described the history of Brugge with stories instead of boring lectures. Our tour guide was Pascal. He did a wonderful job of captivating us, tourists, and made the 2 hour tour seem like it was 20 minutes. Instead of some walking tours where it seems like there is a lot of dead time, i feel that this tour was packed with a ton of information of everything important of Brugge rather than a select few. Granted they don't have time to cover the full history of the city in the two hours, Pascal did a great job in giving us a sampling of the cities history showing us it's personality and charm. This tour was free and I did appreciate that the tour guides don't try to force down your throats that it's tip based, although I will admit that this tour really deserves the tip!! It was worth every cent. P.S. you do get a free beer at the end! I can't wait to go back to Brugge again! read more

Had Martin as a guide today. He did a fantastic job explaining Bruges history, myths and legends. I would recommend this tour to all Bruges visitors. read more

We took the tour yesterday with Nicolas!We were hooked from the start by the mix of funny local stories, great historical landmark and must see buildings and sights!Nicolas is a very lively guide.After years of visiting my family I thought I knew Brugges but I discovered through the tour a different side and learnt so much ! read more

Legend of Bruges tour is great! The website describes it perfectly, the tour started on time and they can handle small or large groups. Our guide knew a lot about the city and took the time to answer questions. My husband and I were impressed with the effort they put into a free tour. Definitely a must if you are visiting for a couple of hours or a couple of days! read more

We were very pleased with this tour (free; accepts tips but not pushy about it). Our travel agent screwed up with our prearranged private tour, so the Information Desk in the Historium suggested this one (daytime, 2PM). I can't imagine the private tour being better. Our tour guide was very effective and informative. He was a Brugges native, so he knew a lot of back story. We did not take the other two tours of Brugges that are offered ("night","taste") but if I return they will be at the top of my list. read more

Really enjoyed this. Saw a lot things I would not have seen otherwise and the historical context provided was helpful. I would recommend this tour. read more
