One of the best tours I've joined

5.00Fraser was the best guide I've had for a city walking tour in a while! He was so informative and funny. Throughout the tour he interacted with the grouo and had us answering questions, playing games, and encouraged any questions we had. If you get a chance to do the free walking tour of Belgium, do it, and hope that you get Fraser for what might be the best tour you'll ever have!
Great tour!

5.00We joined this tour at the last minute as we walked through the Grand Place and saw it commencing. We were so glad we did. The tour leader, Fraser, led us on a beautifully constructed tour, with plenty of history, genuine knowledge, and a lot of laughter. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves, and signed up for the chocolate tour in the afternoon, which was brilliant too. I usually do a city walking tour on arrival in a new place. Having done quite a number over the years, I can say this is one of the best - probably THE best, I've ever done
Fantastic Tour

5.00Highly recommend to do this tour at the beginning of your visit. This will give you some historical context to the city you are about to explore. Adeline, our guide, was very knowledgeable, fun and he clearly loves this city. At the end of the tour he gave us an online map with tons of recommended food locations, all organized by category. It's always great to have recommendations from a local. We were a group of 4 and we all loved it!
