My wife and I had a private guided tour with Artur. Artur is knowledgeable, charming, and accommodating. His wry sense of humor will leave you smiling. Highly recommend. Matt and Marie

Bruges is a delightful city, full of life and delights. It’s very walkable and easy to navigate. Can’t recommend it highly enough.

I booked a private tour with Artur. He customized it to provide what we needed and for the time we needed. Artur is very attentive and thoughtful. We all appreciated his storytelling skills. He was enthusiastic and engaging. We appreciated everything he prepared for us!

Philippe was very personable, knowledgeable, with a great passion for his country. He met us on time, provided bikes, and gave a great tour of Bruge. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Philippe to anyone. He does limited tours as a hobby at this point, since he is a retired teacher, and wants to stay fresh while he does them. Simply outstanding!

We had the best experience with Philippe. After messaging Philipe to see if he did a version of his incredible sounding tour non-cycling (as I can't ride a bike!), we booked his tour for our first morning in Bruges, and he was so accommodating. It was just me, my partner, and Philippe, and it was an incredible personalised experience. He showed us all the main sites, hidden gems, avoiding the big crowds, and lots of great stories too. It was so much fun getting to know him, and his city. We could not fault our experience at all - 100% recommend.

We really enjoyed our tour with Tom. He was friendly and sincere from the moment we met him. We left the tour with so much interesting information about Bruges that left us wanting to return for a visit! The pace of the tour was perfect. The sights were varied and interesting. We can highly recommend Tom as a local guide. He is kind and very good at what he does. Thank you!

Most reviews of this tour are very positive, naming particular guides. But we got a former Occupy Wall Street protester - an American (Mike?) - who gave as the most bizarre “history” of Bruges. He saw Masonic symbols in all the churches, built long before Freemasons came to Belgium, railed at the “mafia” figures he alleged were behind Bruges’ decline (naming as chief villain Louis de Gruuthuse, a fascinating figure of whom he told us nothing). He gave a totally false account of the legend of the city swans and missed pointing out things like the tomb of the wife of Maximilian even when we were in the church in which she lay. Also missed: the significance to the city of the relic of the Holy Blood. Nor did we get an explanation for the astonishing rise of Bruges, or much else, including its art. We were not offered the advertised sample of food or drink, and Mike (?) did not accompany me to the Michelangelo statue because he had forgotten his wallet and presumably free pass. In fact, we even paid for a small gift he wanted for his son. We did get a lengthy account of his own history, which was not what we paid for, and he was a couple of minutes late besides. All that said, Bruges is so lovely that nothing can spoil it and Mike showed us some nice things and was perfectly pleasant. In fact, he googled for answers to questions we asked about what we saw, and adopted the tour to our wishes as we went. My tip: I’d you take this tour, see if you can get one of he guides who gets the rave reviews.

We enjoyed a fantastic ride with Philippe from Withlocals. We shared with him our main areas of interests and he met every objective for what we wanted to do and see. He knows hidden treasures and unknown places that he shared with us including gorgeous secret gardens and stunning street art we would have never found on our own. His obvious love for his city and his wealth of knowledge, both personal and historical, made for a wonderful experience for us. The ride was fun, easy and the perfect way to see the city. You see things from the seat of a bicycle you just can't see by car, boat or on foot. We highly recommend Philippe and his tour. He's interesting, pleasant, easy going an excellent ride leader. We will always remember our time with him and be grateful for the time he spent with us.

Jay was a great guide for me. I wanted to see what a local felt were the best things about Brugge. Jay was born and raised there so not only did he show me incredible sights of the area, he seems to know everyone! I wanted to get a piece of jewelry from a local artist and Jay had friends with a shop. I bought a one-of-a-kind ring and it's a treasured keepsake. Jay goes above and beyond for his guests, shares the history of the beautiful city and shows areas that you might miss with other guides. He walks fast so have your walking shoes on but he also stopped for every picture I wanted to take so just let him know what you want to do. Great guide and a new friend.

Philippe was an incredible guide, taking us through the secret places, explaining the history with dynamic and interesting details. Both my kids and us enjoyed it very much! The bicycle ride was amazing!

very friendly guide, a lot of useful and interesting informations, also funny stories and tips for restaurants etc., absolutely recomendable

Nathan was wonderful. He catered the tour to our preference, but also told us so many interesting facts about the history of the city and its people. We feel in love with Bruges by watching the movie “In Bruges” so we came from the United States to see it firsthand. Nathan showed us where scenes from the movie were filmed and also told us things about the filming of the movie. He surpassed our expectations! Thank you, Nathan!!

We had an informative private tour around Bruges and it was a great way to kickstart our break. Jeff was really interesting and was flexible to tailor the tour to our needs. I would definitely recommend

Artur was friendly and his enthusiastic delivery of the history of Brugge was a pleasure to behold. Artur made us welcome and we had a great time. I'd been to Brugge a couple of times before but he took us places and gave us the history of areas I had never explored. He was happy to answer any questions and a change to his timetable was accommodated by Artur contacting me well in advance and offering to pick us up at the station if necessary. To top it all off he took us to a fantastic waffle house as a result I've had my mind changed about this Belgian delicacy. Thank you Artur and if we are ever here again we'll certainly book another of your tours.

Philippee is the best! We are a family of 6 - two parents and 4 children (all adults). We wanted to see everything Bruges has to offer, and Philippee delivered fantastically! We went to Churches, hidden gems, the lot! The bikes were very modern and easy to use, and the knowledge, patience and humour was brilliant from Philippe. We even ended at a Brewery (at our request) and enjoyed some local stories - linking with our home in London. We also made a mistaken on arrival time and Philippee was VERY accommodating with the change - thank you Philippee, we had a fantastic time.
