Tour description

Historical facts combined with personal experiences from a real local

Lovely people! My name is Nick and I am lucky to be born and raised in the beautiful city of Bruges.

Even when I was a little kid I already had a passion for the story's and secrets of the city. When I became sixteen years old I was quiet a rebellious teenager my mother said. So I will share some personal story's how it is to grow up in the city of Bruges. Because if there is one thing that I hate is to give a boring tour where people fall to sleep.

Historical facts I also found very important. Thats why I am also currently studying to become a historian. 1 more year and I am finally graduated.

If you are looking for a tour in Bruges that will excite you in combination with some personal story's from a local and good recommendations then I will be the guide where you are looking for!
