Amazing!

My husband and I just came back from a private tour with Martin and we're very happy we did it, it was so worth it and such a fun way to spend an evening. Bruges is gorgeous on itself, but to know the history and the legends of the place gives a whole new depth to the experience. We were captivated the whole tour by Martin's knowledge and charisma!
