What To Expect
Grand Place
Our guide will meet you right in front of the main gate of the City Hall. From there he will guide you around the square to describe and decode the symbols on the different facades : City Hall, King's House, House of the Dukes and many other important houses that hosted important names like Victor Hugo or Karl Marx.
Manneken Pis
Why this fountain of a peeing boy became so important does not always make sense. While you enjoy a warm waffle, our guide will explain to you all the history beyond this mysterious boy. Despite its disappointing size, you will start to like him and also value our Belgian mentally.

5.00He was very knowledgeable, helpful, and showed us his love for Belgium. We enjoyed remembering the long history of Brussels. The waffle and chocolate were a delicious benefit. I’m just sorry for any confusion I may have caused by mistakenly booking both the 10am the 2:30. (I am hoping for a refund.)

5.00Took this tour with our family on our second day in Brussels. Paul, our guide, was fantastic! A great overview of the city with waffle and chocolate tasting along the way. A good sized group. Not too big! Great value. Tour was 2.5 hours long. Didn’t feel rushed but also felt like we saw a lot but still had the rest of the afternoon to explore the city! Highly recommend!
