    Questions about the plans

    Which plan suits a toddler?

    One day in Bruges with kids: its core route needs no booking, stays within ten minutes' walk and stops about every hour.

    We have two days. Which plans go together?

    The two-day family plan is written as a weekend, with a night in the suite in between. For any other group, two single-day plans work back to back.

    Do we have to follow the times?

    No. Times are examples. Only booked slots are fixed, and each plan marks them.

    Can we do a plan without staying with you?

    Yes. The routes start at our door, but every stop is public, so you can join a route at its first stop.
