The perfect tour to discover the history and the culture of Bruges. We will walk through streets, alleys and squares which still coincide exactly with those of the medieval city.
With anecdotes, pictures and the fantastic buildings of Bruges we will almost feel how life must have been like here in the Middle Ages.
And although chocolate was not present in the medieval Bruges, we will taste the Belgian chocolate and we will know why it is so famous.
