5.0(6)5 hFree cancellationBy Vexperio

About this activity

This Shore Excursion is designed for cruisers who want to explore Bruges with a private guide throughout the entire experience. It combines pick up from the cruise port, a walking tour through the historic city center, free time to explore at your own pace, and the option to include a canal cruise. It is a private tour, meaning only your group will participate.

Your local guide will pick you up at Zeebrugge port, lead you to your transportation, and together you will drive to the medieval city of Bruges (around 30-minute drive). Upon arrival, begin a walking tour through Bruges’s cobbled streets, canals, and historic landmarks, including Market Square, Burg Square, and the Belfry Tower.

After the walking tour, enjoy free time to explore Bruges independently or choose to include an optional canal cruise through the city’s picturesque canals. Your guide will remain available throughout the excursion before accompanying you back to Zeebrugge port well before your ship’s departure.
