This evening walking tour in Bruges lasts about one and a half hours and includes a local guide. It begins at the Markt, the main square, where the guide gives an introduction to Bruges' history. The group then moves to Jan Van Eyckplein, the site of Bruges' medieval harbour, with explanations of its historical importance. Next, the tour visits the square near the Choco-Story Chocolate Museum, known for hosting one of the world's earliest stock exchange markets from the 13th century. The route continues along the Golden Hand Canal, where the guide tells a story involving the devil, tragedy, and superstition that explains the canal's name. This part of the tour highlights the darker side of Bruges, including old myths and ghost stories connected to the city. The tour includes a stop at the oldest bar in Bruges and Belgium, operating since 1515, where visitors can see its historic atmosphere. Afterwards, the guide shares the legend behind a local church built as a copy of the Church of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem. The group then proceeds to Sint-Janshuismolen on the outskirts of the city to view the historic mills and one of the remaining medieval city gates. The tour ends at the Bauhaus Bar, where guests receive a coupon for a complimentary beer offer (buy one drink, get one free). The guides are volunteers who work for tips, so guests should bring cash to reward them if satisfied. The booking fee covers only the platform cost.
