    I did the trip a few years ago, and after I felt like I may have gone to early. Not everything was in bloom yet. It is a great trip though. Enjoy!

    I am going on the River Cruise Northbound from Brussels to Amsterdam in April 2024. I am arriving several days early in Brussels. I would like suggestions on what specifically to see and if someone can recommend the name of a specific company or local guide so that I can be taken around the city. I am aware that Brussels is a walking city but i cannot walk that far especially on uneven pavement like cobblestone so I would need a driver to take me places which would limit my walking far distances. In addition, although Tauck takes us to Bruge and Ghent-I called and they told me it is only for a few hours in each city. I am thinking of taking the train from Brussels to Bruge for the day. Has anyone done that and is that something you would recommend again I would need a guide.

    Gottago: We were in Brussels three days early, too, last year. We saws a lot around the city, but it was a lot of walking. One day, we DID take the train to Brugge, and we were so glad we did. The few hours on the tour were not enough; plus, it was raining. But that is definitely a walking town.
