Sebastian was extremely knowledgeable about the city. The tour was informative and interesting, and Sebastian’s fun personality added a lot to the experience. I would recommend it if you’re interested in the local history ranging from gothic cathedrals to beheadings.
Best tour ever with David, David has a lot of energy, he has a lot of knowledge about the city and he recommended us restaurants and places here.
The explanation was clear, and our guide spoke eloquently. With a short walk included, the session was both fun and thoroughly enjoyable.
The guy from Jamaica (forgot his name) was really cool with a fun, dark humour based on the dark stories he told us and we had a great time, and even though the rain was trying to ruin it-she didn’t! A very nice tour!
Great stories. Love the. Ore dark stories. History can be read online. That combined with some great view l. I'd book again
Very interesting tour, we visited some very nice places. The guide was great, he told us lots of stories about Brussels. Tales and stories about Brussels that I would never

Sebastian was an absolute king. He made the tour amazing. I have never learned no much and had so much intense fun as I did while walking through Brussels and seeing the sculptures and buildings that were either finished or not finished by the Belgians. (Silly Brussel sprouts)
Rahem was amazing. He is very knowledgeable and personable. While being very professional he also made it fun. Great time
Our guide, Rahiem, told us a lot about the "dark side of Brussels" with a perfect mix of culture and humor. We hope to see him again during our next trip in Belgium, so we can learn a lot about other interesting, sometimes hidden, sides of this country. Visitors from France
