Easy to find Eugene with his red umbrella & British flag, as described in my message. Interesting informative walk around the capital, with a pit stop part way round for a wee, drink or excellent pastry, good way to blow the cobwebs off and orientate ourselves. Thank you for an interesting few hours in Brussels😊.

Very entertaining and informative! Eugene knows his history and Brussels!
Estref was a fantastic tour guide! Very informative, and friendly! It was a fantastic way to see the city while learning some history!
My son and I had an amazing experience on this free walking tour through Brussels today. Our guide, Eugene, was extremely knowledgeable, engaging and had a great sense of humor. He made sure his audience was listening and part of the tour by asking questions (and giving candies as prizes for the correct answer). He offered both history and personal musings, kept the pace up to prevent us from becoming bored, but not too quick that he lost guests. I highly recommend this tour and tour guide. A+++++
A few title ideas: * A Great Introduction to Brussels * An Enjoyable Walking Tour of Brussels * Discovering the Best of Brussels * A Fantastic Guided Walk Around Brussels * A Great Way to Explore Brussels And here’s the review: We really enjoyed our walking tour of Brussels. It was a great way to explore the city and learn more about its history, culture, and famous landmarks. Our guide was friendly, knowledgeable, and engaging, making the tour both informative and enjoyable. The pace was comfortable, and there was plenty of opportunity to take in the beautiful architecture and atmosphere of the city. We came away with a much better understanding of Brussels and would definitely recommend this tour to anyone visiting for the first time.
Mica conducted a fantastic tour! She was knowledgeable, descriptive and set a great pace for the tour. We felt well acquainted with Brussels and pick up some great tips for the rest of our time in the city.
We had an excellent tour of Brussels and couldn’t have asked for a better guide. Taro’s knowledge of the city’s history, culture, and hidden gems was impressive, and he presented everything in an engaging and easy-to-follow way. The tour was well organized, informative, and fun from start to finish. He was friendly, professional, and happy to answer all our questions. Thanks to him, we gained a much deeper appreciation of the city. This was one of the highlights of our trip, and I would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Brussels. Five stars! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Very informative and helpful overview of the city for first timers and he great recommendations from the tour guide where and where not to go
Francois was a terrific guide, his historic knowledge of the area and of architecture made this one of the best tours I have taken this year. I had no idea of the richness Brussels has. I had booked this tour to fill up an open morning and now I want to know more, I'll be back!
That was Excellent. The guide was perfect.
Our Guide, Eugene, was very knowledgeable about the history of Brussels. We saw a lot on the tour & he had us going up & down hills! It was great!
Eugene tried too hard to be entertaining which made his stories hard to follow. I found his blaspheming distasteful. Some great sites but too much standing in one place listening and not enough walking
Well worth doing , very informative and a great way to start your day in Belgium, She spoke very good English and nothing was a problem. I Definitely recommend
Eugen as our guide, for just 2 months of being a guide. delivered some good tips about the city history and made the tour really interactive, at the end the tourist with most questions answered received a beer of his choice. I don't think the city's history is worth the tour to be repeated but it was definitely worth it for the first time in the City
Our walking tour of Brussels with Mica was excellent. She was pleasant and engaging. There were eight people in our group but she made each feel as if they got individual attention. Mica welcomes interaction and discussion. The tips she provided (multiple times) of where to shop or eat were appreciated. This 2.5 hour walking tour is a great overview if you have only a few hours in Brussels. Otherwise it is a great introduction and highlights to you what you most want to go back and visit in depth.
Great tour. Took it right after I arrived. Great for getting some context on Belgium and getting one’s bearings. My only suggestion is when the guide (or if as there are a few, but mine did) mentions King Leopold II and his colonization of the congo, the guide said that Belgium intentionally likes to leave him out of history as to not glorify him. The problem however is the same issue with Haiti, the US and other places where slave labor and colonialism occurred. When we erase that history, it leaves an excuse not to help fix the problems of today that were created back then. It makes it easy for people to look the other way or shrug things off as something that happened a long time ago as if it’s no longer relevant. To keep blaming the descendants of the human trafficked for their lack of wealth and generational trauma. I was happy that the guide brought it up, but I hope in the future he can leave out the part about forgetting it as a country. Please do keep sharing this important history.
Our guide Eugenio was very knowledgeable about the history of the different building in the central square. He also told us some legends about Brussels which were interesting. He tested our knowledge of history, literature and geography which was fun. In the end my partner won a prize Belgium beer for answering the most fun questions correctly. We had a great experience and we highly recommend this tour and Eugenio to other travellers.
I would rate this one of my most enjoyed guided tour I have been on throughout Belgium, guide was amazing, knowledgeable and share some of her own experiences, definitely recommend this tour if you are looking to know more about Brussels. Thank you for maying our trip to Brussels amazing

The tour was amazing, interesting and funny. The tour guide, Estref, was precise, entertaining, funny, and prepared. The tour was smooth and in about 2 hour and a half we discovered the history of the city of Brussels. I would recommend this tour to anyone who visit the city. I want to spend another line to compliment myself with Estref, he was full of little funny tips about the city and he answered all the questions we had.
