The tour begins with a walk around the Grote Markt, where the guide points out the Belfry and surrounding guild houses. Next, the group visits the Basilica of the Holy Blood, noting the gold-colored statues on the facade and touring both the neo-Gothic upper chapel and the older lower chapel. Nearby, the guide explains the history behind the centuries-old town hall and its architectural details. Afterward, the tour continues to Vismarkt, the fish market bordered by 126 columns and set beside a canal with stepped gabled houses. Then the group boards a shared boat for a half-hour trip on Bruges’ canals. The captain provides commentary on the sights along the waterway, taking the boat through quieter corners of the city. Following the boat ride, the guide leads guests past Huiz Perez de Malvenda, where the Beerwall displays over 2,000 Belgian beers, each with its own glass. The walk continues to Arentshof garden to see the water hall columns, bronze statues of the horsemen of the Apocalypse, and views of Bonifatius Bridge, Gruuthuse Palace, and the tower of Onze Lieve Vrouwekerk. The group visits the Gruuthusemuseum courtyard, learning about the influential Gruuthuse family. A brief stop at De Halve Maan Brewery highlights the unique beer pipeline. Finally, the guide discusses the Princely Beguinage Ten Wijngaarde, a historic community for women. Throughout the tour, guests receive a map of Bruges and enjoy a chocolate tasting.
