We had a wonderful tour with Dani. His keen insight into European politics was impressive and he explained everything in a very accessible way. If you are looking for an informative tour presented in an engaging way, Dani is your man!

A solid and unique introduction to the European political system, with humorous commentary and anecdotes woven throughout. This was just as educational as it was entertaining. If you'd like to hear perspectives of the different players in the EU ecosystem, including what goes on behind the scenes, this is the tour for you! Dani was a fantastic guide- personable, easy-going, inclusive and had a deep understanding of the EU. He seemed to take quite a flexible approach, tailoring his commentary to the interests of participants on the day. (While I attended as a 'beginner', some others in the group had experience with, or within, the system, and Dani encouraged questions from all.) I also appreciated Dani's flexibility in letting me bring a dog along!
We loved Dani’s tour! It was super informative and entertaining, and we came away feeling like we had a much better understanding of Brussels and the passionate people that live and work there. We would definitely recommend it!
The tour was really informative; it's definitely a good way to get a broad idea of how the EU works, especially if you have little prior knowledge.
Highly recommend this tour when visiting Brussels. You will learn everything you want to know about the EU. Tour was relaxed and a lot of fun!
Very funny and personable whilst being a fascinating insight into the politics of the EU. Danny really knows his stuff!
Do it! Dani is an excellent guide, engaging and well-informed. You’ll come away understanding a bit more about how the EU functions (it’s quite complicated) and having seen where some really important stuff gets done. I’m so glad I made the effort to go even thought the weather really wasn’t on our side!
The tour of European government buildings sets the scene for a fun and insightful talk about how Europe works, or doesn’t.
This is a fantastic tour that I HIGHLY recommend if you’re interested in politics at all. Dani was an outstanding tour guide. It was incredibly informative (especially as an American who knew very little about the EU politics prior to this tour). Dani presented all the information in a very balanced and humorous way and I really appreciated his perspective as a former lobbyist. The tour included a good balance of history and current events. This was my favorite tour (of three) that I took while in Brussels and I can’t recommend it enough!
It was a very good visit, I highly recommend it! It's a great way to understand how the European institutions work. The guide is very instructive and manages to make the explanations funny. You also learn a lot about the day-to-day life of those who work in the institutions, with lots of anecdotes.
Dani’s tour of the European institutions is a must and an opportunity not to be missed while in Brussel! Thanks to his knowledge, work experience and comedy skills he has been able to make us understand the European institutions and that is quite an achievement given the complexities of the subject! Lots of insights, anecdotes and the whole in a fun way! Bravo! This tour will stay with us, thank you Dani!
Dani was very charming and funny! We learnt a lot and were thoroughly entertained, he will go places! Book the tour before his schedule fills up with his other projects! It’s intimate and well thought out! I’d recommend to anyone who enjoys political comedy or wants a unique experience.
I joined Dani in his tour in November 2024, and as a young person wanting to approach the European world and wanting to learn something more, I can say that I really found what I was searching for! The tour was full of curiosities, questions, history, discoveries and humor, that explained from a former worker in the European Union, really let you dive in the massive mechanism of the EU. Dani was really available and prepared with questions, he really found ways to keep such a heavy subject, so light and funny, also with the use of schemes and jokes!. I would only recommend, as most of the time you stand still, to get dressed with many layers if you plan to do it in this season, because it can get quite freezing, especially if you're not used to it. Weather apart, really recommend, 10/10!!
The guide is a walking encyclopedia and a born entertainer. if you plan to visit the European Quarter, you would be silly to miss the opportunity of seeing it through his eyes.
An amazing guided tour with dani, he was respectful and ready to answer any question, a tour in 2h with him was enough to understand the history of the European quarter
As someone working in the "EU bubble", I ended up learning a lot of interesting facts and tidbits of history. Whether you are new to Brussels or familiar with the the inner workings, I highly recommend this tour. Dani is incredibly knowledgeable and funny. Also recommend asking for anecdotes or if you are an EU bubbler yourself, share yours too! If you are visiting brussels - you would be missing out if you don't do this tour.
I learned so much about Brussels for the first time, all thanks to Dani. Despite the cold winter, I felt incredibly warm thanks to Dani’s humor, kindness, and detailed stories. I would definitely recommend this tour to anyone interested in Brussels and Europe.
Excellent. Very knowledgeable and very funny. You will get great history of Belgium and the European Union on this tour.
As an expat working in European policy, this tour was a great way to introduce my friends to Brussels' EU Bubble, in a funny and ironic way. I'll definitely bring my relatives as well the next time they come to visit me!
I highly recommend this tour for everyone, whether you're familiar with the EU or not. Dani is knowledgeable and presents the information in a clear and engaging way. I suggest asking for extra anecdotes—they really add a unique perspective to the experience.
Our guide Dani made us understand a lot of things about the EU in a light and entertaining way, including how the different powers of the EU work and small fun anecdotes about life in the brussels bubbe. Definitely recommend if you're visiting or even living in Brussels!
People don’t usually associate the Brussels EU quarter with comedy, but in this 2 hour tour, Dani Mora manages to make the impossible possible. Being both a seasoned tour guide and entertainer, his passion for both shines through and he managed to keep us all engaged and entertained throughout! I also learned a lot of new things about this part of Brussels I had no idea about like the former Nazi HQ and where the EU Nobel peace prize lives! If you like history, politics and comedy- definitely don’t miss this tour!
Amazing walking tour. I took my sister there, who is not from the Brussels bubble, but we both had a very good laugh. Great way to show people around!
Brilliant, if like me you have struggled to understand how the European Union works, with the numerous institutions, playes and a impossible jargon, this guide is all you need. Dani has done the impossible and created an amusing and informative tour based on his unique experience in the bubble. And you get to enjoy a nice walk in a fascinating city!
This tour is a must-do in Brussels if you are curious to understand how the EU operates and keen to see the main institution buildings up close. The length of 2h and the touch of humor that Dani brings make it a very pleasant experience to enjoy.
Super nice tour, very easy to understand the EU Bubble and a lot of jokes! 😃 I definitively recommend this Comedy Tour!
Great tour, funny and informative. Dani is a fantastic guide. Just the right length too. Would definitely recommend it.
Loved this tour! The guide Dani made us understand a lot of things about Brussels and about the EU in a light and entertaining way, with lots of political insight, stories and anecdotes. Definitely recommend if you're in Brussels!
Even after 10 years living in Brussels I learned a lot during this tour: some history, the inner secrets of the "EU bubble" and of course, all the jokes. Dani's tour is super informative but above all, a lot of fun. 100% recommend both for tourists and residents.
This was by far the best I've taken in Brussels. Dani is funny, witty and quite knowledgeable about the European institutions’s history and functions. The tour lasted about 2 hours, we had a quick stop at a cafe but all in all the time flew by without us even noticing, I highly recommend you join his tour! Thank you Dani!
A great tour! Brought my family who has visited Brussels several times already and they really enjoyed it. The guide is a great story teller and was really good of adapting his stories according to the knowledge of the participants. I recommend the tour especially for visitors of people working in the "buble" and people interested in a fun tour about the EU quarter.
Love this tour and Daniel's humorous commentary and personal sharing from an insider view of how lobbyists work. I thoroughly enjoyed it and it's the highlight of my trip. He is also very warm, kind and incredibly patient.
I had a very good time! Dani is very nice, and I really enjoyed learning about the history of the EU institutions with a bit of humor. I highly recommend it.
Thank you very much Daniel for this very complete and fun tour. We learned about how the European institutions really work, a lot of European history and very funny anecdotes. The EU Bubble really is a world to discover. It was very enjoyable and interesting and I would definitely recommend it to anyone visiting Brussels who wants to discover the heart of European politics.
We loved the tour. Despite the cold, we had a great time and learned a lot about Brussels and the EU. The Dani guide had a lot of political and historical perspective and knew many anecdotes. I highly recommend it!
