Hidden passages
We duck into a beguinage side‑gate tourists miss and explore tiny alleys and streets.
Step into a real‑life fairy‑tale city with a guide who unpacks the legends hiding behind every gable. In two and a half relaxed hours you will trace Bruges’ golden‑age rise, its silent retreat behind canal walls, and its modern renaissance as a UNESCO darling—all without jostling through umbrella herds. Your private storyteller adapts to your curiosity: want chocolate stops, more history, or that perfect Instagram angle? Just say the word. Couples love the slow moments by the swans on Minnewater; families applaud the scavenger‑hunt clues we weave in for kids; photographers cheer the secret place we unlock for wide‑angle shots.
