Everything perfect, I loved it. The only downside is that the guides don't speak very loudly and it's a little hard to listen to them and that they don't put on the heating on the bus, after it's super cold in Bruges you get on and you're still cold, they don't give any discounts or recommend places to go to eat.

The guide was very good. The driver too. The only bad thing is that between the guided tour and the time they give us to tour the city we only had less than 3:30 hours left. Practically nothing. :( Maybe they should consider leaving earlier or coming back later, or even better, both.

Excellent way to get around Belgium when you are based in Amsterdam discovering a beautiful medieval town, with chocolates and top quality beer. The only criticism I have is that it could reduce the time you spend telling the stories of the places visited, I was starving and the guided tour never ended, and increase the free time in the city.
