If you only have one day outside of Amsterdam this is the tour for seeing Bruges. It is a long drive and Jamal was wonderful. The Gravensteen castle was very unique and audio guide was very funny in a dark sort of way. Bruges is a place you have to visit once and we will definitely be back to actually stay there overnight. Jamal helped us with suggestions and a game plan for the 4 hours in Bruges! Do this tour if you want to stay away from the big buses and have a private experience. Ask for Jamal!

It was an early day but we got to Ghent in time to see the 10:15 opening of the alterpiece. We visited the castle next then hed off to Bruges for more fun. Peter was an awesome and safe driver and friendly. I love this type of tour because you get to make your itinerary your own. Got back to Amsterdam by 6pm. Long day but enjoyed all the sights!
