If you want a local to show you around using a mix of humour, stories of Belgium & its history and genuine tips & tricks to get to know Brussels quickly: look no further. Together we have many years of experience in doing exactly that.
The city has a rich history and transformed into the capital of Belgium and of Europe. Brussels is hard to describe as it's not just a city. It's more like a concept (like Belgium itself). There's an enormous amount of things to consider: it's the birthplace of world-famous comics, there are 80 museums, politicians from 27 countries, 3 official languages and even more unofficial ones, it was at the heart of both WWI and WWII and people from 184 different nationalities are living in it.
And of course, we'll make sure that afterwards you know about beer, chocolate, fries and waffles.
Join us and we'll introduce you to everything Brussels has to offer!

Excellent introduction to Brussels

5.00This tour was a great way to get oriented to Brussels. We got a good sense of the history and culture, gained new perspectives on some spots on everybody's list of things to see, and were alos introduced to some more obscure and out of the way places. Tom was a great guide. Very knowledgable, funny, and attentive to his tour group's needs. We appreciated his personal perspective on a range of topics, from beer to food, to the darker side of Belgian colonialism.
Fantastic Tour

5.00Tom was a fantastic guide and gave a great tour! Informative, entertaining, and properly paced; can’t really ask for more out of a city intro. He gave some great recommendations for local spots to visit on the rest of my trip as well.
Good city tour, I recommend it.

4.00Our guide Tom is very knowledgeable and provided information/answered questions regarding the history of Brussels (and Belgium in general), beer, chocolate, Belgian friets, Belgian Waffles, and more. The route was well planned, hitting many points of interest and incorporated a quick (free) bathroom break for anyone that needed. He had quite a few recommendations for the group - places to eat, drink - whatever you asked about. My recommendation is for Tom to have a way of more easilty sharing this information via some sort of link to a file. I just came from a city tour of Barcelona and our guide there had one for us.
Tom was a wonderful guide!

5.00Tom is the best! We thoroughly enjoyed his guided tour that he conducted in a light hearted and slightly irreverent fashion. Tom knows his stuff regarding the history, legend and architecture of Brussels. A great couple of hours spent with a fun guide. A must do.
I felt like Brussels was part of my country, I really enjoyed it.
