Our guides are not only complete history buffs, but are also deeply passionate about this town and its culture. During this tour you will not hear a loose collection of anecdotes, but learn of its rich past in a coherent story. No popular myths presented as fact, no endless list of dates and names, just a chance to become part of the long story of Bruges.
On the Burg square, you can find the guide usually in the corner between the Old Town Hall and the Basilica of the Holy blood. Look for someone wearing the Beardbarian sign on their clothes or guide tag. If it's someone with a long black beard, you're lucky, you've got the main guide today!
