5.00We had a great morning with Sebastian covering lots of territory in Brussels. He gave us a lot of great information about all the sites as well as just enough history. It was a truly enjoyable 3 hours and I would highly recommend this as a way to get oriented to the city. It makes exploring places later much easier and gives you a great idea of how to get around to where you want to return.
Exploring Brussels with Wonderful Patrick

5.00We had the most wonderful afternoon exploring the ins and outs of Brussels with Patrick. He is so friendly and knowledgeable, we talked non-stop finding so many cultural and unique commonalities. He knows Brussels intimately, including history and stories about all the major sites, while providing insights about intriguing off the beaten path locales, restaurants, shops and nightlife. We explored cathedrals, museums, parks, side streets and chocolate shops, while joining a street party celebrating the Mustache Men and Mannequin Pis. It was a delightful experience and highlight of our Brussels experience.
Great Tour with Sabastian

5.00We took this two hour walking tour on April 26, 2026 with our tour guide Sebastian. He sent us a text the morning of the tour confirming that he would meet us at out hotel and describing his appearance so he was easy to identify. Sebastian was an excellent tour guide and showed us many locally important sites within Central Brussels and offered suggestions of where to shop and eat. He described the history and significance of each site often including some local folk lore. I highly recommend this tour with Sabastian.
Great personally targeted tour.

5.00We had a great morning with Francis. We told him my husband mostly wanted to see the EU Parliament area in Brussels and he showed us all of it. It was informative and we appreciated ghat he was very considerate of our slower pace as a couple of 80 year olds.

5.00Our host, Andrea, was very knowledgeable in many areas to include not just the sites but their architecture, history of the area and culture. This was our first time in Brussels and after over 3 hours of a walking tour with Andrea, we feel we have a great overview of Brussels. Andrea was very pleasant and shared some fun secrets along the way that most people wouldn't know. We thoroughly enjoyed it.

5.00You cannot imagine how much of Brussels you can see in 3 hours! Patrick was a fantastic guide and he moved fast. We saw all the highlights and some hidden spots that we wouldn’t have found on our own. Patrick was friendly, knowledgeable, and considerate. He also steered us away from expensive tourist spots and instead showed us better options for food, chocolates, etc. We had a great time and we’d highly recommend Patrick and this tour.

5.00It’s a great way to orient oneself to the city and discover some spots that one might otherwise pass by. Nice bit of walking exercise too. Having the private guide with little tips and commentary, along with a good knowledge of history really enhanced the experience.

5.00This is how a walking tour should be. With a very friendly, accommodating and knowledgeable guide. My guide was Fabio Bego. He was great! He took me to a few hidden gems as well that most tourists may never see. It was a really good tour.
