Bruges is a wonderful city to explore and food is delicious.
The trip was amazing. The bus was comfortable and took approximately 3 hours to get there. We had a 1 hour tour of the city and then 3 1/2 hours for sightseeing but it just wasn't enough. There is so much to see and do. The waffles and fries are incredible and bought lots of chocolate...so good.

Nice day trip to Bruges.
Long bus ride from Amsterdam to Bruges, but we were a little jet lagged and just enjoyed the view. The guide was friendly and knowledgeable. When we got to Bruges we elected to walk around the town on our own. We had a light lunch and met a local character, then did a canal cruise and checked out the Michaelangelo.
We were lucky to have great weather, and we enjoyed this day trip.

Great day trip to Bruges
This place was very nice and clean. Old European views and reminds me of Mackinaw Island on steroids. Horse-drawn carriages. Bicycles and many people.

Great Experience!
We were staying in Amsterdam for a few days, but wanted to get exposure to more while there, and heard a lot of good things about Bruges. It was a really neat place to see, and the drive through the Netherlands and Belgium afforded some good sightseeing as well. After the walking tour, there wasn't a ton of time available (~3 hours), so a little more would have been nice to have to explore more, but overall it was really fun. I would recommend for a nice day to see something additional!

Great bus tour!
The best part of the tour was Pedro! He was fun and provided great insight during our trip. The city was absolutely stunning. I highly recommend this trip!

Gorgeous city
Such a beautiful town we had such an amazing time and trip. Yes the bus ride is 3 hours, but you know that when you sign up. Our tour guide/host Pedro was funny and did a great job making sure we knew where we were going. I wish we had more time, but the town is very stunning. The town was quite busy and we couldn’t do a canal tour, I would try to go when it’s not as busy.

a wonderful day trip from amsterdam
Pedro was super funny, charming, and informative. The trip was very enriching and even though we had limited time in the city (~3-4 hours), it was enough to be satisfying. If I want more time, I'll come back on my own! Definitely a small, medieval town that can be seen in one day if you powerwalk. We were told that after 8pm most things close and there's not a lot of activity outside, so I didn't mind just going during the daytime and not staying overnight.
For all those complaining about being left behind, our guide specified a meeting time to leave, built in an extra 10-15 min grace period, and even waited an extra 5 mins on top of that! Very reasonable, considering the ride back is 3 hours and it's rude to make a busload of 80 other people wait.

It takes a while to get there, but it's well worth it
Bruges is a very cool old city. Lots of beautiful architecture and history everywhere you turn. This tour, although it felt a little short, was still very enjoyable. Our guide Pedro was a very fun and high energy guy. He knows his stuff and gave us some very helpful tips. The weather served us well and it was a very sunny and warm day.
I have seen people complain about the long bus ride, and they're not wrong. This is a solid three hour ride in one direction, so it is not for the feint of heart. I slept through most of it, so it really wasn't a factor for me and Bruges is so awesome that, once you actually enter the city, you forget all about the long bus ride.
Like I said, our time in Bruges felt a little short and I would have liked to have at least another hour there, but I get it. They want to get people back to Amsterdam in a reasonable hour so they would still have time to grab some dinner and do stuff in the city. With how little time I actually had in Amsterdam, this actually enabled me to see more of the city.
Quick note to my fellow Americans: you do not need your passport to go to Bruges from Amsterdam because both are in the EU. I wasn't sure, so I brought mine and almost ended up losing it.
Overall, this was a really cool experience and I'm really happy I got to do it.

Overall good
Good trip guide was professional and knowledgeable. Kind of felt very rushed because we were worried about finding our way back to the bus. Guide said it’s easy- but for our first time in Bruges it was confusing.

Fabulous; go for it!
Excellent, friendly guide. Bus was immaculate & very comfortable for the long ride. The guide recommended a restaurant that was good but only accepted cash: just FYI. LOTS to see in this beautiful town. Worth the trip from Amsterdam.

Beautiful city!!
3 hours bus ride to Bruge with a 1 hr tour and you’re on your own for the rest of the time there. The tour guide is absolutely hilarious and super friendly. He gives recommendations on chocolate and mussels which I will say are very great recommendations. The city itself is absolutely breath taking. 10/10 would go again.

Bruges bucket list achievement unlocked
Pedro was such a funny and charismatic guide, he made the 3hr ride feel like 30mins. Although Bruges was way busier with tourists than I thought it would be, the charm and beauty if the architecture were undeniable. It just means next time I should stay one night to have an early morning for Bruges all to myself as well as see how magical Bruges would look at night.

Imperdible de Bélgica
Estar en Brujas en trasladarse en el tiempo. Una ciudad hermosísima por donde se la vea. Calles angostas y edificios antiguos que nos transportan a otra época. La ciudad se puede caminar tranquilamente a toda hora.
Los chocolates son una exquisitez, como las cervezas.
