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!

This was a really enjoyable free tour. Quinton was an entertaining guide with a lot of interesting facts. We saw many of the high points of the city. I would definitely recommend.

This tour was excellent. Tom was informative, funny and passionate. It was well paced and comfortable even in the busiest of areas. I'll never look at Brussels the same way, thoroughly recommend!

They canceled because there was only 3 people. I wasted 30 minutes waiting to make sure I was on time then another 15 to see if more would join. Wasted too much time for it to be cancelled. Guide was nice to offer recommendations

This was one of the best walking tours I’ve done. Our guide Tom was incredibly enthusiastic and engaging — he had a great mix of solid historical facts and fun local legends, all told with humor and energy. The way he connected stories to the places around us made Brussels come alive. I learned a lot, laughed a lot, and genuinely enjoyed every part of it. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Brussels — especially if you enjoy guides who make history feel alive and entertaining!
Excellent city tour by Quentin!

We took two tours in Brussels and this one was by far the best. The guide Quentin had a deep knowledge of the city and his passion made it very enjoyable. We hit all of the major sites and Quentin's humour in storytelling was fantastic. It was great overview of everything you want to see in the city. Definitely take this tour if you visit Brussels!
Always a good idea!!

We found Tom’s stories about Brussels interesting. He focused on tales related to the Grand Place and gave practical tips for staying in Brussels. Tom is politically interested and also shares historical background about King Leopold II, which we found particularly fascinating. Very likeable.
