    Have a real good look at he itineraries on any tour you choose
    The one above has you staying in Folkstone both nights rather than Bruges, which maybe fine for you but check what you're getting.

    What time do you get to Bruges, what time does the coach leave to get back to Folkstone?
    They often don't shout too loudly about the detail but you could be in Bruges for as little as 4 hours out of your 3 days.
    Change is inevitable, except from a vending machine.

  • Somebody I work with was raving about Bruges around Xmas time as I was asking where to go.

    I did Brussels last year and I've done Berlin. They were good but i'm told Bruges justs looks great

    Hi
    We have just booked to go to Bruge end of November when the christmas market starts. We booked the hotel and then ferry separate which in total was about £310 for 2 adults and 1 child for 4 nights. The ferry we booked with directferries and was £40.50 return Dover-calais then driving the rest of the way

    I went to Bruges, but as I live near the channel ports I did it for the day. Force 9 crossing meant an hour delay, but Bruges was lovely. The hot chocolate there was melted chocolate, it was lovely and I loved the way the shops had their Christmas displays in a lovely way, like an old fashioned Christmas story if that makes sense.

    It took an hour from Calais, but than I'm lucky as to wear I live
