Mariam was a fun, well educated and very engaging guide. The stories were lively and gave great insights into the history of the city. We had a great time and learned so much. The walk was enjoyable and very manageable, and we came away with great ideas on the best souvenirs to buy and where to go for a good meal. Would definitely recommend!
Thomas was an excellent guide, and we really enjoyed our tour. Brussels is a beautiful city, and he showed us both the must-see sights and a few hidden corners that we never would have found on our own. He was friendly, knowledgeable, and made the whole experience enjoyable. We would definitely recommend Thomas to anyone visiting Brussels.
It is a different look at Brussels . The one that tourists don’t see. There is history and clearly poverty like any big city . Walk through multi cultural area . Given that it was a holiday weekend there was lots of trash . Just like any big city
Great tour of the lesser known/non-touristy parts of Brussels. Christophe was very informative and friendly. Recommend!
I was a little concerned when I booked this tour because I had booked a walking tour for the day before this one which covered all the typical sites and was worried there would be a lot of repetition. I selected this one in hopes that it would offer different sites than the other one and it did not disappoint. We covered entirely different areas of the city which included where the port used to be and the canal systems. Matteo was absolutely delightful in describing how structures used to look or what they were replaced with and the history behind it all. He also talked about the culture of the city and we got to see Het Zinneke and hear about him. We covered a lot of places that tourist don't typically go. It was a wonderful experience. Just what I'd hoped for.
This was an excellent tour. We walked all over Brussels and saw things we would never have seen on our own. We visited different neighborhoods, stopped for a beverage, and walked nearly 4 miles. Kristoff was funny, knew the history of Brussels, which added so much charm to the experience.
Our group of six visited the city for the first time via a quick train ride from France. We were looking for a deep dive into the historic center, and Lucas was the perfect match. He was incredibly well-informed, and we gained so much insight. He highlighted the best eateries and chocolatiers while sharing his impressive expertise on local brews. The rhythm of the walk was ideal, and his storytelling was top-notch. We’d definitely hire Lucas for another adventure!
Liam was such a delightful guide. My friends and I valued all his cultural insights and background stories. He made us feel genuinely comfortable, and the whole day was wonderfully easygoing and enjoyable—thanks to Liam!
It was a pleasure spending the afternoon with Thomas. His insight and enthusiasm for Brussels were fantastic. We enjoyed a great few hours in the sunshine, taking in beautiful sights and hearing engaging stories. Thank you!
Mathieu was a lively, well-informed guide who showed us both the main highlights and some tucked-away corners of Brussels’ old center. His energy and humor kept us going! We covered a lot of ground, learned plenty of interesting facts, and left with tons of ideas for the rest of our stay. A great way to get your bearings and fall in love with the city from the start.
Martin was an excellent guide. Our 3-hour tour with him was both fascinating and entertaining. He shared so much insight about the city, and every recommendation he gave was spot on. We really appreciated the chocolates, the advice, and the wonderful company!
Chris gave us an interesting fact filled tour of Brussels away from the usual tourist spots. We were given a glimpse of how the local population lives, and a better sense of the city's history and future.
Brussels has so much to offer, and thanks to Clara we were able to experience so much of it. The history, the architecture, the culture—everything truly amazed us. Clara made our visit even more special with her energy, passion, and knowledge. Thank you, Clara!!
Martin was insightful, welcoming, adaptable—everything you could hope for in a tour guide. He even assisted us in securing reservations at a restaurant we were eager to try. We hit the places you don't usually see on a classic tour. Our only disappointment was not having extra time to spend with him.
We spent a wonderful morning with Sofia, who was incredibly knowledgeable and eager to help us discover both the history of Brussels. We would absolutely recommend her as a personal guide!
This tour was the highlight of our time in the city. It felt really personal—our guide adapted easily to the pace and interests of our mixed group (from teens to grandparents!). We learned a lot about the history and daily life in Brussels, and even got to enjoy some local beer along the way. It struck the perfect balance between fun and informative. Would absolutely do it again!
Great tour guide(s). Informative. Comfortable atmosphere. Good pace. Enjoyed tour immensely. Easy to connect with guide.
