A fascinating introduction to Brussels, its highlights, hidden gems and its diversity of neighbourhoods.

Get a broader view on the city by discovering it by bike! Enjoy the perfect mix between the city’s highlights such as les Marolles, Place Sainte Catherine, the Palace of Justice and lesser known hidden gems you would not discover by yourself.

We put the bicycles aside at the halfway point to take a small break in a cosy bar or on one of the many terraces (drink is optional and not included in the ticket).

Discover Brussels by bike and get enchanted by the city!

    We had chosen the bike ride "The must-sees and unusual places of Brussels". This walk proposed by Cactus is great, very interesting thanks to the many comments of Philippe our guide. It allows you to discover places you would never have gone alone. To do without hesitation!

  • Get an authentic feel for the City

    Fabulous tour! The freedom to look around whilst the guide does the navigating, and interesting tales along the way. We learnt so much about Brussels and its history (beyond waffles and beer!) It was the highlight of our mini break. Highly recommended.

  • A Great Mini-Adventure!

    An interesting and informative ride around some of Brussels less visited but important locations. I learned much more about the city, its citizens and organisation than expected, all delivered with a light and often humorous touch. Our guide (Reynaart) obviously loves his city and knows it well. We were a group of six. Bikes were well maintained. Helmets are available. The vast majority of riding is on designated cycleways. Cactus is a non-profit and guides are volunteers. I highly recommend supporting this worthwhile venture.

  • Very nice walk and guide to the top!

  • Fun, Off-the-Beaten Path Activity for Brussels

    This was a great tour to see more of the city and learn about areas outside of Grand Place. Our tour guide, Philip, was well prepared with laminated diagrams and pictures to explain the history of Belgium and the neighborhoods. Plan for around 4 hours, instead of the listed 3.5 hours. The group size was large, about 10 people, so there were several traffic stops where the whole group won't cross the intersection at the same time. My one piece of constructive feedback would be that I would have appreciated a clarification that the drinks at the stop in Saint Gilles was not included. It’s not a big deal, however, they should have been more upfront about this before we ordered, because I probably would have skipped the drink.

  • Fun way to get your bearings

    Excellent tour around Brussels, our guide was knowledgeable about the city and pointed out interesting spots as we rode and the stops along the way. The tour gave us a great overview of the city and history, the bikes are in great condition and group a good size.

    Discovering the city, its different neighborhoods, its history... it was super interesting, the 3h30 passed very quickly. Small break with local refreshments during the ride, at the top.

    A well organised and enjoyable bike ride. Enjoyed seeing all the places that Andrea showed us. We went back later in the day to experience the festivals that we’d seen on the bike ride. Andrea is lovely and very knowledgeable about beautiful Brussels. Would highly recommend.
