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)
