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.
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.

5.00A bit of walking however it never seemed like it was an exertion. Our guide Ian was knowledgeable, kind when and patient when asked questions. The tastings were yummy. Brussels’ history was quite interesting to hear, especially considering how it relates to other European Countries. Our guide pivoted when the rain was too much and allowed for a quick stop at a cafe for a nice warm beverage. Thank you Viator for providing this experience!
One of the most enjoyable tours in Brussels!
