Private Bruges Shore Trip with Opt. Canal Cruise from Zeebrugge

About this activity

This half-day Bruges shore excursion is designed to help cruisers experience the highlights of Bruges in the most efficient way. It combines a guided walking tour, free time to explore on your own, and the option to include a canal cruise. It is a private tour, meaning only your group will participate.

After pickup at Zeebrugge cruise port, enjoy a comfortable 30-minute transfer to the medieval city of Bruges. Upon arrival, meet your professional English-speaking local guide and begin a walking tour through Bruges’s cobbled streets, canals, and historic landmarks, including Market Square, Burg Square, and the Belfry Tower.
