Absolutely perfect mini van day trip with Rusty
Our guide Rusty picked us up and dropped us off at our Paris Airbnb, 4 of us altogether. Super convenient and right on time. Rusty is very charming and knowledgeable, pointing out various sights as he guided us to each part of the tour. Great walking tour of Bruges with J, delightful boat trip, yummy lunch and beer tasting. We were lucky to have a beautiful day. It was a long day, but not at all exhausting. I would probably skip the Chocolate Factory the next time--we wanted a little more time to wander the streets and shops. I'd also probably do an overnight trip the next time. It's too wonderful for just one day! Very clean van, stopped each way at nice rest stops. I'm planning to go back to Paris next year with my daughters and would definitely do this again! I will be sure to request Rusty to be our guide!

Bruges Highlights Trip from Paris with Lunch, Boat trip, Brewery & Chocolate
We were picked up at the hotel on time by 7:30 am. Our tour guide Valeria and the driver Halek were very friendly and informative. We learned a lot of history about Bruges. Valeria took us to a chocolate store and we tried some different chocolates and bought delicious maccaroons from different flavors, Valeria found a very nice place to eat in a restuarant and the location was cozy, the food was delicious/outstanding. We had a great time on the boat even though was raining, we took a lot of beautiful pictures. We also visited the Brewery and chocolate museum which we learned the different type of beers and tasting it. The chocolate museum was really nice too, we had a chocolate demonstration on how the chocolate is made of and the temperature that it needs to be cooked, after the demonstration they gave us a sample to try the delicious chocolate. We buy the Belgium Waffles to try it and they were the best waffles ever. We had time to buy some souvenirs as well. We had an awesome time and I highly recommended the tour.

Bruges Highlights Trip from Paris with Lunch, Boat trip, Brewery & Chocolate
Pick up from hotel and tour guide Valarie made it an enjoyable day for us! This day trip from Paris is recommended if you have time to spare and the minivan will make the 3.5 hours easier.
Apart from the tight schedule that saw us missing the Choco factory, it was an enriching experience for first timer all in all, and the boat ride was also amazing.
Lunch wasn’t Michelin as stated but no complaint since we got to relax and had our lunch right at the Belfry.
