1.00Although very early for the hour and having waited 30 minutes later, we only saw a red umbrella but who was visiting in Spanish and did not work for viator. So total disappointment. No message or call to indicate a possible cancellation. On the other hand the cost of the reservation has been debited. We saw a few newlyweds on the balcony of the city hall as entertainment in waiting. Finally we managed by ourselves for the visit, but it ruined our start of stay.
Great tour!

5.00Perfect little tour to learn more about Belgium and more specifically about the pentagon in Brussels. It’s still good to have some historical explanations when you’re looking at buildings that have known other times.
A must when visiting
