5.00This is a wonderful way to experience local culture and sights are not generally on a general tour. Our guide is a historian who provided back stories of sights that made it more interesting.

5.00Senna really did a wonderful job putting together and leading us through this tour. He was quite knowledgeable about the food, the area, and the history. He followed up on the questionnaire that we had submitted prior to the tour to ensure that both the foods that we tried and the places that we went would be suitable for my husband and his food allergies. We felt that he truly listened to our request in order to give us what we were looking for, which was really a taste of Brussels through their food on this walking tour. He avoided the tourist straps and even fit in an attraction that I’d ask him about, but he hadn’t intended to have on our tour. (he pointed us in the direction of the other two attractions that were nearby as well.) We went where we had two traditional types of sausage and accompanying sauces, a fry place for us to try the potato fries, a bar that had many types of beer and Senna put some thought into the different options for us to try versus just bringing us anything, well done! We tried authentic Belgian waffles done two ways, one had ice cream, whipped cream, and chocolate sauce, and one had cherries and chocolate sauce, very tasty. The last two stops had us trying gourmet chocolate from a second generation Belgian chocolatier and stopping in a store where we sampled a very rich chocolate mousse. We wish we had more time in Brussels with Senna by our side to show us more!
A great tour with...

5.00What a great tour! Having never been to Belgium, and being short on time, we were looking for a crash course and tour of Brussels. We got that plus much more. Our fabulous guide Sebastian shared his love of the city and wealth of knowledge and was very friendly and pleasant to spend the afternoon with. He gave great recommendations for anything we requested. It was a very well organized tour!
