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.

A delightful introduction to Brussels!

5.00Walking tour covered most of the downtown historic district highlights with the right amount of facts, local color and whimsy. Our guide (Clemens?) was wonderful and spoke excellent English. The chocolate and waffle were a delightful small treat to keep us going. The only point is that the tour can be a bit arduous for those who are older/unfit because a good deal of Brussels is uphill!
Great tour to see the key sites of the city.

5.00Clemenns was a knowledgeable and fun tour guide, provided great insight into the city and culture. We saw lots of the key sights of Brussels, and the waffles/chocolate were very good. It is a 3 hour tour, with lots of walking but would definitely recommend if you are new to the city.
So insightful!

5.00A must! My friends and I enjoyed the tour much more than we expected. We appreciated all the insightful information about the history of Brussels. It was perfect, not too mundane and the tour guide did a great job of keeping us engaged! I felt like I saw most of Brussels within the two hour timeframe. Highly recommend!
Not a food tour

3.00It was primarily a walking historical tour and we were expecting a food tour, which usually is MUCH less walking and also we get to sit and enjoy various tastings.
Fun for parents and teens alike.

5.00We took a walking tour with Sarah. She couldn't have been more pleasant and informative. Her details and descriptions about each of the buildings at the Grand-Place were fascinating. I would recommend this tour to anyone.
