As the light gets long, look into the local Brugge.
This late afternoon tour is focused on showing you the greatest part of Brugge: The places lesser known and the details they hold. We’ll be discovering on a local level the landscapes, details, and side streets that tell the timeless story of this stunning town.
This tour is perhaps the favorite of your guide Andy’s for photography locations, taking in the heart of discovering the story behind a scene. The focus is on catching the light as it disappears, but also a focus on *seeing* fresh with creative focus.
2hr Open Photo Tour: 60€ per photographer (maximum 4 photographers per open tour)
3hr Private Photo Tour: 220€ per tour (includes 4 photographers of your choice)

Top 5 Frequently Asked Questions
1. What is a “photo tour”?
A photo tour (as we offer it) is a city tour with a strong focus on photography, both in seeing the city through the a photographer’s perspective as well as improved results in the photos you’ll take.
On Photo Tour Brugge & with your guide Andy, we offer sample photos on location as well as photo advice tailored to your specific skill and interest.
Basically, Part city tour, part workshop… With of course a portrait option (here) since Andy loves such things too. 😉
2. What kind of camera/experience do I need to bring?
Any camera from your smartphone or compact to DSLR/mirrorless to medium and large format is quite suitable for this tour.
(As your guide Andy says: “It’s not the car, it’s the driver that counts.”)
Whether you’re beginner or intermediate or pro (or even just looking for a unique tour experience), we’ll happily offer optional technical & creative advice as well as sample photos on location to help improve your photography both in Brugge & beyond.
3. What’s your cancellation policy (especially in rain)?
Our full refund policy is via this link but here’s the short version:
Open tours are 50% refundable up to 1 week beforehand, private tours up to 3 days beforehand minus the 75€ deposit. Overall, we’re also flexible and sympathetic as possible if something unexpected comes up.
In case of rain: We push on in very light drizzle (and offer you a free camera cover to help), in case of heavy or dangerous rain we will usually offer rescheduling or you can cancel for a 50% refund until 1hr before the tour starts.
