Free time for you to explore the delights of Bruges, or alternatively join our optional excursions.
Optional Excursion
Half Day Bruges walking tour & canal cruise On this optional tour a local guide can show you this delightful town, pointing out the places of interest. The centre of Bruges is very compact, all the major sights are very close by and a gentle stroll through level streets is the ideal way to appreciate the town. A network of canals plays an important part in Bruges today. The cruise allows you to see a very different aspect of the town often called the “Venice of the North”. Our tour finishes around lunchtime.
Optional Excursion
Full Day Ostend & Sluis (4 day holidays only) An optional excursion to Ostend, where there is much to see and do around both the harbour and town.

From here we follow the coastline north to visit the charming little town of Sluis, just over the border into Holland, complete with its working windmill.
