This storytelling walking tour in Bruges lasts about two to three hours and is led by an English-speaking local storyteller. The guide uses stories to explain the history of medieval Bruges and shares practical tips for visitors on their first day in the city. The tour starts at the Belfort, where the guide spends about ten minutes describing its role as a symbol of Bruges' power in the Middle Ages. Next, the group moves to the Markt, the medieval trading center, with a stop of approximately fifteen minutes. The route passes by the Bruges Beer Experience, where the guide briefly points out the different sections of the attraction and explains why it is worth visiting. The tour continues to the Rozenhoedkaai, also called Quai du Rosaire, where the guide spends about five minutes discussing why this is the most photographed view in Bruges. Participants cross the smallest bridge in the city, spending around ten minutes hearing its lesser-known history. The group visits the Sint-Janshospitaal, one of the oldest hospitals in the world, for about ten minutes. Afterward, the tour reaches Burg Square, the political center of Bruges, where the guide talks for ten minutes about its more than one thousand years of history and notable architecture. During the walk, the guide also mentions local pralines made by Olivier’s family. The tour ends near Huidenvettersplein, a square that has been transformed from a less desirable area into a pleasant space, with a stop of about five minutes. The walking surfaces include cobblestones and one small bridge with a few steps. Groups are limited to six people to maintain a balanced mix of guests. Larger groups must arrange private tours separately. Tips and recommendations for Bruges, along with discounts at local businesses, are included in the tour. Gratuities are not included.
