Brussels Walking Tour: Explore Top Sights & Hidden Gems
Overview

What if I told you that you could wander through Brussels and still miss the most fascinating parts without even realizing it? Many travelers admire the Grand Place, taste a waffle or two, and think they’ve seen the city, when in reality, they’ve only touched the surface.
Behind its elegant façades and cobblestone streets lie hidden corners filled with stories of revolution, art, and everyday life. Without local insight, it’s easy to overlook the quiet cafés where history was written, the quirky statues tucked away in side streets, and the authentic flavors that locals love but tourists rarely find.
With our Walking Tour in Brussels, you can leave all that behind. Your guide tailors the experience to your interests, taking you through the city’s most iconic landmarks while revealing the secrets that make Brussels unforgettable.
You’ll also get personalized recommendations on where to eat, drink, and explore beyond the typical routes, ensuring an authentic connection with the city.

5.00Great I review of the heart of old town Brussels. Easy pace, yet saw many of the sites that visitors need to see.
Meh

2.00Our guide was nice but not particularly knowledgeable. She was just learning so she could not give us much information beyond what she had memorized.
A lot of walking and not much info

2.00Our guide walked in the front of the group talking as he went and we couldn’t hear him. We didn’t receive very much useful information.
Horrible

1.00I have done many walking tours and this was by far the worst. The guide had almost no knowledge of the area and when questions were asked she seemed to make up answers. This walking tour was horrible and I would like a refund. The "guide" should not be doing this tour
Guide provided very good...

3.00Our guide was polite but was not native and it showed. He did not introduce himself and our group were the only people on the tour along with a person learning how to be a guide. He just gave general information about the stops. We walked in and out of the square multiple times. It felt at times we had to push him to the next stop.
Truly amazing tour!!!

Nice tour guide.

3.00Our tour guide was very nice, but has only been in Brussels 2 years and clearly was not that familiar. He was reading the map and at one point had it backwards.
Disappointing City Tour - not worth it.

1.00Our guide N. was very friendly; however, she didn’t appear to be very familiar with the city’s history. She also had to check the route on Google Maps several times and relied on reading from her notes. We expected a professional guide who is familiar with the city’s history and the architectural details of its most famous buildings, not someone who has only lived there for a few years—especially since the website also offered a ‘tour guided by a local’ for €3, compared to €35 per person (which is the amount we paid) on the platform.
