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.

5.00Had a great tour with Hajar as our guide. She met us at our hotel since we were near the Grand Place and took us all over to so many more places than mentioned on the itinerary. She was very knowledgeable and knew a lot of call facts in history, art, and local culture. Had a good time like hanging out with family. Took some fabulous pictures of us as well in the right places and at right angles. I definitely recommend her as a tour guide.
Must do tour when you hit Brussels.

5.00I recommend this tour for the start of your trip in Brussels. Our tour guide provided many great facts and tips about the area that we would not have picked up on our own. It also gave us a good idea on how to navigate the city by ourselves.
Amazing walking tour with Peter

5.00We had a walking tour with Peter during our one day only stay in Brussels. It was our first time in Brussels so we decided to take a walking tour to have a glimpse of the city and Peter has lit that only day in Brussels, he was so kind, fun and friendly. He showed us most of the main city attractions with short historical introduction, answered all our questions and made our day in Brussels full of beautiful memories. Wishing Peter all the best and hope to see him for another great tour. Thank you Peter🙏
Amazing tour and tour guide!

5.00Peter was a great tour guide. Answered many questions had lots of historical knowledge and modern factoids to blend in. We were able to see and learn about so many sites and the culture. Highly recommend Peter and this tour! Special kudos for keeping a 13 year old engaged as well.
Personable but not well-informed

3.00Our guide, Peter, arrived on time and took us through a lot of Brussels at a good pace. He was personable, even chatty, and his command of English was great. Our complaint is that he was unfamiliar with many of the monuments and areas we passed and he gave us incorrect information on others. He has the right personality for the job but needs to brush up on facts.
Fun, chilled tour

5.00Peter was a great tour guide! Turned out that we were the only ones booked in but it was quite nice to just have a chilled out walk around the city whilst getting to see the highlights of the history in the area. Thanks for a lovely experience :)
