About the tour
Bruges may look like a fairy tale by day, but by night it becomes a city of shadows, haunted by centuries of blood and superstition. Behind the ancient facades and quiet canals lie stories far darker than the guidebooks dare to tell. On this Halloween tour through the medieval heart of Bruges, you’ll uncover the origin story of witches, hear the gruesome history of the doll house, and learn the chilling tale of a murderous butcher who baked his victims into pies.
This is not the Bruges of lace and chocolate, but of horror, murder, and whispers in the dark. Dare to join us… and you may never see Bruges the same way again.

Reviews
The level of knowledge was impressive. Our guide was also a good story teller, and had a way to include everyone in the group. This is a must if you visit Brugge.
Lavigna was friendly and knowledgeable about the history of Bruges, which was really informative. I would highly recommend this company and tour to anyone visiting Bruges!
Absolutely loved this tour! My partner and I were guided by Lavigna and her canine companion.
“The first time I tried this company, I was hooked. Everything was so fabulous and easy. I’ll never go back to anyone else.”
