“***This review is regarding the inflexibility of Viator and the tour operator-not the tour itself***. Unfortunately we were unable to attend. We were coming to Zeebrugge on Princess Cruise Lines from Southampton. Due to hazardous weather with high winds causing dangerous sailing conditions, the cruise line elected to cancel our embarkation on day 1, and we spent the night in the Southampton port instead, and yeah it was as fun as it sounds. The cruise line did not inform the passengers until after we boarded. Because of the weather, the berth the ship was supposed to be in was moved and they lacked access to all security lines for embarkation-…”
A 2.5-hour guided walk through Bruges with standout medieval stops, plus optional canal boat and beer tasting, ending near chocolate.
“This experience was supposed to be a walking tour and boat trip. There was no boat trip as advertised. I was given a partial refund but I did not think it compensated for the missing boat trip which was the main reason I booked this. Very disappointed!”
4-hour Brussels beer walk with 6 Belgian beers and 3 chocolate tastings, plus old taverns and alleyway history near Grand Place.
“This was a really great tour - I'd strongly recommend it. Terry was an amazing guide - he knew loads and made the tour really fun. We went to loads of great bars and other places that you would never have known about, or would have been too daunted to go into on your own! - several were hidden down alleyways. You get to try lots of different beers, and we also had chocolate and some sausage and pickles. I was visiting Brussels on my own, and this was a great way of getting to meet some people and get a flavour of the city.”
