A Cultural Tour de Force

4.00Walid, our guide, was zany, but in a good natured way. His personality really shone through and made for an interesting time aboard the Brussels culture ride. We covered the Grand Markt, Mont des Arts, Galerie Royale areas. Walking pace was leisurely, with a gentle hill climb. Cobblestones around the Grand Markt area. Would be suitable for anyone with an interest in history or culture. My only complaint is a little too much of the tour was spent in the Grand Markt. That said it is a UNESCO world heritage site, so many may appreciate the lengthier discussion time.

5.00A varied and entertaining tour of Brussels. Especially charming was the Scottish tour guide, who guided us through Brussels with many facts and stops. The other people in the group were also very nice and it was a colorful, international troupe. Always recommended.
