GUIDE IN SPANISH.
In our guided tour you will learn what is the real importance of Belgian comics within the international scene, and which are the schools and authors that have made their fame possible. You’ll learn about the “clear line” that’s talked about so much in French-Belgian comics, and you’ll discover many of the murals that have been dedicated to the ninth art in the heart of Belgium.
This tour is designed both for people who do not know anything about comics and those who are more familiar with this art.
As if that weren’t enough, besides the murals, you’ll know Tintin’s house (before he moved into Moulinsart Castle) and the statue hidden in plain sight of The Smurfs. You’ll also discover new places in central Brussels that aren’t included in other guided tours, along with some of the shops where you can buy Belgian comics in your native language.
Come enjoy the national comic with Curiositas Mundus!

4.00Was staying in Paris for the week so took a day trip to Brussels by train (worth it!) started with the comic books walls trail and it guided us through the day. We only made it to 10 before we started venturing off the tour route but the route we did do was great and we saw so much of the area we would not have.
A must see

5.00I did not do a guided tour to the comics on the walls of the house in Brussels. Nevertheless, I found some of the pictures. They are tall and almost all colored. Whether Lucky Luck, Asterix and Oberlix, Tim and Struppi, you'll find them all. Many visitors to Brussels go looking alone. Some of the pictures I saw by chance. Always great to see. Brussels is known for comics. Since 1991, house walls have been embellished with comic characters.
Culture and fun!

Both great and bad experience

5.00I gave it 5 because the guide was fascinating and knew his subject very well. I could have given Tripadvisor a 1 because this service provider does not have a guide in French. After booking, I received a message by snap during the night from the service provider telling me that the tour was in Spanish. Not having had the information we introduced ourselves and luckily there was only a Spaniard who spoke English and who after discussion agreed that the tour would be done in English. It was more difficult for the guide and for us, especially my wife, but overall we pretty much understood each other. So French travelers who only speak French, be very careful because this service provider only does school groups in French and private tours but it is not at all the same price

4.00Interesting visit to the museum, with numerous explanatory boards on the designers. Shop with a huge choice of comics and other goodies. We walked there from the center.

5.00We did the comic tour with Samuel and had a great time. The very nice and dedicated guide knew a lot. In addition to seeing the murals and being able to take pictures of them (there are a lot of them), he was telling us things about the history of comics in Belgium, about the authors... A very complete and original tour, to do something different. Highly recommended.

5.00An impressive and super didactic tour even if you are not comic experts like me. My friend and I loved it, Samuel is a very nice and informed guide who explained in detail and in a pleasant way the history and evolution of the comic, the misconception that many of us had about him and the important role he has mainly in Belgium. If you take the tour and have never been a comic lover, you will start to be interested in it!!
A very interesting and pleasant tour:)
