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.

We thoroughly enjoyed our walking tour with Clemmons! He was engaging, funny, shared interesting facts and history about Brussels, as well as gave us great tips on where to buy chocolate and restaurant recommendations. The tour took us to most of the must see sites in Brussels. We were particularly thankful that he accommodated our daughter’s food allergy so she didn’t miss out on the tastings. We also chose this tour for the small size. We would highly recommend this tour for first time visitors to Brussels!
Awesome Waffle Tour!

Our guide Lou was passionate about Belgium and shared information about the country and Brussels from the people to food to culture. This was the best tour and we cannot recommend it more!! We enjoyed the chocolate tasting from Mary’s - easily the best in the city! Brussels is very walkable so this tour pretty much shows you all of it. We did early morning and crowds were less than later in the day. Our guide shared tons of information in a very digestible format and really made us love Brussels!!

Our guide was extremely knowledgeable about the area and provided a good amount of history and information without going overboard. It was an excellent introduction to the city that was super useful later in trying to navigate. There was some walking but not too much. Guide left plenty of time for questions and was clearly passionate about sharing his city with us. I would definitely recommend.
Essential Tour if visiting Brussels

This tour is an ABSOLUTE must do. Sancar was our guide and his knowledge, attentiveness, and humor were outstanding. It is a great way to learn the history of Brussels while getting to taste a couple sweet treats.
