It was a great experience, first time for me to take a tour. our guide and the driver were both exceptional.
For me personally I would have preferred the guides on the Optional excursions instead of pointing out places of interest and then leaving it up to oneself to actually find them again, was frustrating as I wasn’t brave enough to go on my own to seek them out.
As we were staying in the beautiful Chateau it would have been preferable to have our free time back at the Chateau to enjoy their facilities or even go for a walk in the countryside, instead of in town with not much to see or do.

Brugges hotel Radisson Blu is too far from the city centre, 45 minutes to walk through not very nice area.
If hotel could not change maybe a shuttle run twice a day.

I enjoyed the trip but the one thing I didn’t like was you had one excursion and the rest of the afternoon was free time which meant if you wanted to do something you had to pay for an optional excursion.
The bus, driver and tour director was great. Just plan on spending a lot more money than you thought.
