Paul_B, October 2026
Very disappointing that a guide doesn’t have a phone to message their guests if they happen to get lost…
Response from the operator · Journey65549753699
We’re sorry to hear about your experience. The Market Square is the central square of Bruges and is generally easy to locate. Our guides are sometimes unable to hear their phones while guiding a group, as their attention is focused on the guests and the tour. We understand this may have been frustrating and appreciate your feedback.
