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!

5.00Tom was entertaining and engaging. Was a bit concerned that he cursed a few times when we had young children with us. He kept a good pace and the tour was informative.
Guide was amazing!

5.00Our guide was Tom and was of Anglo/Belgian heritage. He was knowledgable and funny and had a great insight into the history and life of Brussels and Belgium. The tour lasted 2.5 hours and covered details on many of the key tourist destinations in Brussels and monuments. He also gave us personal insights for places to eat, drink and visit. It was a great way to get local insight into the culture of Belgium and Brussels. I would recommend this walking tour as a great introduction to Brussels.

5.00Walking tour with Tom around Brussels; great local knowledge, energy and adjusted the content to the group's individual and specific wants/interests. Tom was a good source of information about local shops, bars, and eateries, helping avoid some of the expensive tourist traps. Can't recommend a tour with Tom enough.
Great local tour
