“***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-…”

“"T," as she is called, was an amazing guide! She has a tremendous knowledge of local and regional history, culture, and language. She is friendly, intelligent, interesting, and worldly, having lived all over the world. She shared her favorite places in Bruges with us for "Belgian" fries, hand-crafted artisan chocolate, the best waffle I have ever eaten, and mulled wine and beer at the Christmas Market. She spent Christmas Day with us, and we are so grateful to her for giving us such a memorable and special day.”
