Historical Walking Tour: The Story Of Brussels - By Legends

I was contacted the day of thru whats app from the tour operator who cancelled the tour due to the low number of people that signed up (I think it was just me and my wife). The issue (which I understand) is that they did not cancel it thru Viator and while it was a low cost, I was not refunded any amount as Viator was probably not aware of the cancellation outside of their booking. It is a pity, as we had done a legends tour in Ghent which was outstanding.

Excellent and very informative walking tour through the most interesting sights and monuments of Bruges Martin was amising and very funny; he made this tour memorable.

Ellie was delightful! Very knowledgable and fun!

Fantasic and enthousiastic tourguide

Informative and entertaining. Our guide Ailen was well prepared, engaging and friendly. Beautiful city things seen on tour I would not have found just wandering on our own.

Very informative and explained questions asked

The tour with Willem was excellent, he was very knowledgeble, friendly and clearly passionated about the stories he shared. He pointed out many details and gave context about it, the balance between seeing and listening was great. Highly reccomanded.

It was good as an orientation tour , but the historical content was minimal, at a couple of the stops the guide talked more about local restaurants - unpromoted

We took this tour today with Fraser. The tour was very good. Fraser was terrific, friendly and engaging. He clearly knows the city and it's history and enjoys sharing that with strangers.

Awesome guide. Great knowledge and good personality

Excellent introduction to the history of Belgium. While our small tour stopped at all of the main sights, our guide explained the history and entertaining details about each area. I highly recommend this tour!

Marc is excellent; he’s quite new to tour guiding (violinist by trade, now retired), but what he lacks in experience he more than makes up in his genuine open mindedness for the city and curiosity for the history. He goes in depth and will happily detour with you onto any subject you fancy if you allow him (which you should!). Enjoy your time, much recommended!

Guide didn't turn up. The only legends red umbrella was the English one. No explanation. I paid 2,99€ for nothing. I think a reimbursement is necessary. I hope that tomorrow's tour is better organised than today's.

Ellie gave a great tour combining history, culture, and lore. She was delightful.

Louis is a fantastic, highly knowledgeable guide. He handled all our questions with ease and gave us amazing recommendations for the rest of our stay. We highly recommend his tour!

Very lucky, as it was a busy day with a lot of other tours going on, and there were only five of us in the group. Our guide was excellent and as it was a very hot day, she always managed to find a shady spot for the explanations.

Miguel was knowledgeable, friendly person , engaging and funny. Very good tour tailor on the spot to visitors.. highly recommended!!

I could tell the tour guide was very knowledgeable, but the tour was supposed to last around 2 hours, and we spent almost 1 hour only around the Grand Place area. While I understand this area might have had a lot of history to share, staying in the same spot for that long felt a bit excessive. I eventually decided to leave the tour and continue exploring the city on my own.

Excellent tour, thomas was very comitted to his job and really conveyed a passion for the city. However some information on his tour was not accurate, for instance he said Antwerpen is the largest Port in Europe which is incorrect.

Thomas was a great guy, he's not from Spain, but his spanish is so understandable and good, the tour was very good, we ate some chocolates, and the story behind the french fries, the waffles and the beer is so interesting. I would recommend this tour and if it is with Thomas even better.

Having never been to Brussels before this tour was the perfect introduction to the city, its sites and its history. Waleed was an engaging and informative guide. We really enjoyed learning about Brussels and the tour set up the rest of our trip including understanding where to dine / explore different neighbourhoods. Would recommend to others!

Our guide, Rita, had lots of amazing historical information about the city! She was able to answer any questions our group had and was very friendly.

I was solo in a group total 5, with Dan. It was GREAT. Dan was quite knowledgeable, shared lots of legends, anecdotes, etc. I have often visited Brussels, but this tour put a whole new perspective, and ideas of more places to visit. Un grand merci, Dan! Barbara

This was the first time we ever did a free tour. The experience was wonderful! Our guide was friendly and very knowledgeable. His stories were interesting. I highly recommend this tour. It was a great introduction to Brussels.

The tour with Rahiem was fabulous! Great knowledge and a wonderful personality

We had a great Tour with Rahirm! Very interesting and funny! Highly recommend!!

Walid, our guide, was zany, but in a good natured way. His personality really shone through and made for an interesting time aboard the Brussels culture ride. We covered the Grand Markt, Mont des Arts, Galerie Royale areas. Walking pace was leisurely, with a gentle hill climb. Cobblestones around the Grand Markt area. Would be suitable for anyone with an interest in history or culture. My only complaint is a little too much of the tour was spent in the Grand Markt. That said it is a UNESCO world heritage site, so many may appreciate the lengthier discussion time.

Great cultural and history tour!

Great tour. Had Sebastian as our guide and he was great. Entertaining, knowledgeable, very good at his job. Lovely to talk to in general. Tour gave you a nice overview of the history of Brussel both good and bad, which was great.

We had a wonderful time on our tour! Walid was our guide and was so knowledgeable- we learned so much about Brussels and Belgium history. Highly recommend!

Light hearted and very interesting Laura was a great guide

The tour was excellent and our guide very informative. She also gave good tips and recommendations about places to visit and what to expect. You should definitely bring comfortable shoes, because there are a few hills you need to climb.

knowledgeable and very entertaining

We participated in a walking tour with Sébastien last Saturday, and it was an excellent experience. Sébastien is highly knowledgeable about Brussels, and the tour was engaging, informative, and enriched with many interesting facts. He also shared valuable tips that enhanced our visit. Overall, it was a thoroughly enjoyable and well-spent 2.5 hours.

Nice historical overview of Brussels from a gentleman from Croatia. I highly recommend this tour ! Also great recommendations of where to eat and drink !

Our tour guide was very interesting and super nice! We enjoyed the piece of chocolate we got for a taste. At the end, he even walked to a spot we wanted to see fior a great view! He picked up on my interest to see nativities. On his instructions, We went back to the church we passed to see the very interesting nativity.inside! We had a wonderful time!

Dan did an excellent job in providing history and insights throughout the walk. It was great walk to learn more about the city.

It was real good. Sebastian was super friendly and very knowledgeable. This tour requires some walking but definitely not too hard. Highly recommend!

I really enjoyed the tour with Sebastian who was extremely knowledgeable and good company and found out a lot about Brussels. Well worth doing

Isabella was wonderful. Informed, friendly and attentive. She took the time to explain all of the beauty in and around brussels.

Was not able to participate because within the first half hour adverse weather conditions prevailed.

Nadine was a great tour guide. She was very good at explaining the history and the sites of Brussels. She even gave some tips on some good places to eat at and purchase items as well. Very easy to find the meeting place in front of city hall. Would highly recommend that you go on this tour in Brussels.

Our guide was very knowledgeable! She introduced us to so many things about the city. We took her advice on chocolate and dining too.

Arriving from the UK in the morning this 1.30pm tour was the perfect time for us to check in, grab a bite to eat and then meet up at the Grand Place with our guide Raeem for a few hours around Brussels. Raeem mixed the tour with history, facts and humour and all five of us enjoyed it (ages 50 to 9). We had the history of the Grand Place and from there we went to such places as The Comic Book Museum, a few churches, some parks, we got some food recommendations and much more. A great tour with a charismatic tour guide is a great introduction to the city.

We had a really good tour with Maryam. We covered a variety of different sights, and she gave us some interesting facts on history and culture. The tour lasted 2 hours, which seemed about right for us.

Rita was a great tour guide, she was very knowledgeable about the area and history of Brussels. Great tour for the amount of time.

We had Rita as our guide. And even though we were below the minimum number of people she still took us on a guided walk and we appreciated it very much. She was informative, answered our questions and made the walking tour a nice and educational time. The tour covers many interesting spots in Brussels and gives a nice over view of the city. Rita gave us recommendations for places to eat and drink which one of them we already sampled and it was a very nice waffle place. Can happily recommend taking a tour with the Legend company because this is the 2nd good tour we had with them after the Antwerp one.

Excellent tour with Maryam. She is very knowledgeable and explained well for the history and culture of Belgium and Brussels. Truly enjoyed the trip. The best walking tours we have so far in Europe. She covered a lot of grounds and need to walk fast paced though. Jessica from Texas

Marion was ours guide. She talked clearly and she has obviously lot of knowledge about Brüssel. Thank you for this experience.
