Ambassadors of the City operates guided walking tours based in Brugge (Bruges) and Brussels, specializing in storytelling-led experiences that connect visitors with local history, architecture, and culture. The company offers a mix of free walking tours and curated paid experiences: the Bruges Free Walking Tour (“Tell Me Stories About Bruges”), the Brussels Free Tour (“Tell Me About Brussels”), a Small Group Night Tour in Bruges focused on legends and hauntings, and a private storytelling walk in Bruges tailored to individual groups.
Guides combine historical facts with anecdote-driven narration to highlight medieval landmarks, hidden alleys, and cultural touchpoints such as the Belfry Tower, Bridge of Love, comic art in Brussels, and Bruges’s ghost lore. The Brussels Free Tour explicitly runs for two hours and emphasizes local culture, comics, and culinary tips. The Bruges at Night walk focuses on myths and haunting tales while visiting notable medieval sites like the Ghost House and the Haunted Canal.
Ambassadors of the City positions storytellers as local interpreters rather than generic tour narrators, offering small-group and private options for travelers seeking a deeper, more personal experience. The combination of free, accessible walking tours and optional private or small-group formats provides flexibility for different budgets and travel styles. All descriptions remain factual to published tour summaries and highlight the company’s focus on storytelling, local insight, and accessible guided experiences.
