Beautiful Central Brussels Walkabout
knoxk947,Jun 23, 2026
- Review from Tripadvisor
5.00Excellent overview tour of major highlights in pedestrian-oriented Central Brussels - very knowledgeable and humorous guide conducts these tours for tips as his sole source of income, which is why the base price is so low. There were about a dozen or so of us, which made it quite interactive. Highly recommend and tip generously to support the pricing model.

5.00Fraser was the guide for the 11:00 tour. He was friendly, informed and enthusiastic. His enthusiasm was contagious. He was also competent in responding to personal questions regarding my stay in Brussels. Jim

5.00Fraser was an excellent guide of Brussels. I had done a number of Sandemans tours before and I think he is a great example of the quality of the Sandemans guides. He was very knowledgeable and accessible, making the 2.5 hr tour fly by.
Poor experience

5.00Had a delightful experience on the free walking tour with Fraser, we immediately felt at ease and after the tour we spent the rest of the day discussing various things we’d learned. Fraser is a fountain of knowledge but also the most friendly person so you feel very comfortable to ask questions. 10/10 would recommend :)
One of the best tours I've joined

5.00Fraser was the best guide I've had for a city walking tour in a while! He was so informative and funny. Throughout the tour he interacted with the grouo and had us answering questions, playing games, and encouraged any questions we had. If you get a chance to do the free walking tour of Belgium, do it, and hope that you get Fraser for what might be the best tour you'll ever have!
