Backstreets of Bruges is a tour operator based in Izegem, Vlaanderen that designs guided experiences in and around Bruges. The company offers three main options: a Private Tour that is fully customizable, a Highlights Tour led by a local guide, and a Hidden Backstreets Tour focusing on quiet alleyways and secret courtyards. Each itinerary emphasizes authentic local stories, historic landmarks, and personally tailored routes.
The Private Tour allows visitors to choose activities such as cycling to Damme, visiting specific museums, or spending time at favorite spots; itineraries are crafted to match guest interests and pace. The Highlights Tour visits Bruges’ most recognized sights, including the Belfry, Market Square, lakes, and historic churches, while providing historical context and insider stories. The Hidden Backstreets Tour guides small groups away from busy streets to discover lesser-known courtyards, alleys, and sites tied to mystics, merchants, and artists.
Backstreets of Bruges is presented on The Adventure Collective, which lists the company and its three experiences for travelers seeking curated Bruges tours. The business focuses on personalized attention and local knowledge to create memorable days. Booking options include private, customizable departures and set-route highlights that suit first-time visitors. Detailed trip summaries explain highlights and expectations so guests can choose the right experience.
