My wife and I are going to Brugge in late May. I have already bought our Musea Brugge Card and know to activate it when we arrive. I know that the card covers for my museum admission but not guided tours. My question is when I book a guided tour, how do I avoid paying for the tour AND the museum admission? The site, which is in Dutch, seems to ask me to pay for both the museum entrance and the guided tour.
Thank you

Can you tell me which guided tour you want to book?
The official site is available in english https://www.museabrugge.be/en/tickets/guided_tours/museums/gruuthusemuseum_guide
Booking the guided tour 'Discover the collection' (80€), you choose the ticket 'Free admission'.
I assume you also know the Gruuthusemuseum has a audio tour (NL-FR-DE-EN-SP-IT) for free.

Thank you for your reply!!!
My wife and I are looking at the "Discover the Collection" tours for Groeninge Museum, Gruuthuse Museum, and Sint-Janshospitaal Museum.
I saw the "Free Admission" tab. (I don't know how but you were thankfully able to get a version in English. Thanks!) Nonetheless, the Musea Brugge Card is not listed as an option for free admission. The closest that I saw was "Friends of the Musea Brugge".
Thank you again.

Since you'll be there in late May (beautiful time to go!), I highly recommend booking your Belfry time slot as soon as possible. Even with your card, those slots vanish fast!
Safe travels and enjoy that Belgian chocolate!

Woops ... you're right apparently. That's bizarre.
If I were you, I'd use the contact form to ask them (Type *: Visits, tickets and tours)

Good news! I contacted the museum and the Musea Brugge card is accepted among the free admission category.

Thanks for reporting back! Will help other visitors. I would be surprised if the answer had been negative.

Very late to the party but this?
(I don't know how but you were thankfully able to get a version in
English....)
If you click the "hamburger" (those 3 horizontal lines in the upper right corner) up pops a menu page that has a dropdown (very upper left of that page) which allows you to change the language to English. See it?
