Tell Me About Brussels! | First Day Must-Do | Local Storytellers

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 our guide on a beautiful sunny cold day in January. He was so knowledgeable & told us so many tall tales & stories. Tom was really engaging & humerus & made our afternoon great fun. He recommended restaurants, waffle shops, chocolate shops & great places for beer, some of which we’ve now tried! Thank you Tom x
Tom is terrific!

5.00Tom was our guide on a snowy day. He is very engaging and clearly knows Brussels. Lots of fun more recent tidbits about the city mixed in with history. Great recommendations for food, drink, chocolate and waffles for later. Highly recommend
It's what it says on the tin: must do first day

5.00Very entertaining tour, mostly due to our guide, Tom. His prepared spiel about the history and culture was informative and interesting of course, but it was his answers to our questions that made it special. He could recommend a restaurant for every taste, a beer for every pallet, and chip shop for enquiring minds (chips and mussels, anyone)? He knew the monasteries the brewed, how to get there and why you shouldn't try, and why they did it. At the end we all had a long list of things to try, and not enough time to try them in. PS: My tour happened during a snow storm. No one left early. Provided your dressed appropriately, it just adds to the experience.

5.00We had a fabulous tour hosted by Quentin, who guided about 20 of us around the Grand Place, markets, landmarks, the Royal Gallery and the Royal Palace. We learned a lot about this beautiful city with humor embedded throughout the facts and figures Quentin shared with us. We were really impressed that this was virtually a free tour and would recommend it to anyone who wants to learn about this city rich in history.

5.00Tom was incredibly welcoming, funny, and very knowledgeable. His enthusiasm for history made the tour both informative and enjoyable. He also shared great tips and recommendations on places to visit and where to eat, which was really helpful. I would definitely recommend doing this tour on your first day, its a perfect introduction to the city.

5.00TOM was our guide.. he was ready in the square early and fun and friendly. He was clear with distance, route and timings. He gave us great stories in terms of the history and local features of Brussels but also has good recommendations if you are staying a little longer. Happy Xmas Tom. A tough job made to look easy!
