Yes, Brussels tours open doors that may be closed to you as an individual traveler, granting access to chocolate workshops, hidden breweries, and the city’s nightlife. They can also help you explore neighboring destinations, such as Ghent or Bruges, if you’re on a limited schedule and don’t want to worry about logistics.

Per one customer who booked Hungry Mary's Famous Beer and Chocolate Tour in Brussels, “Must do! I’ve told all my friends and they have gone and would agree that it’s the best tour in Brussels. Not only do you get more than your fill of beer and chocolate but you get to see a lot of the city and learn. I can’t recommend it enough!”

Brussels tours are surprisingly affordable, with tours to nearby cities costing as little as US$50 and nightlife or food crawls as little as US$40. Of course, there are more luxurious and private options as well, which may cost more.

On the lower end of the price range, you can book tours like the Historical Walking Tour: The Story of Brussels - by Legends for around US$5 per group of up to six. Your guide will take you along and through the city’s best landmarks, from the Grand Place to the silly Manneken Pis—note that tips are requested. Pricier options include VIP tours, like the Beer and Chocolate Tasting Tour in Brussels, Min 6 pax (around US$1,300), where your own personal guide introduces you to the city via the best beer and chocolate around.

Brussels is a perfect jumping-off point for exploring everything that makes Belgium famous. Take a food tour of a chocolate factory or a brewery, go on a day trip to the magical cities of Bruges and Ghent, or experience the weight of history at Flanders Fields, a major WWI battle site.

Consider an all-day Brussels tour to pack in as many sights and activities as possible. For example, the Private Brussels Tour with a Local, Highlights & Hidden Gems, Custom makes the most of your Brussels vacation with a 100% customized itinerary led by someone who truly knows the city. You’ll see all the sights you want—and only the sights you want.

Yes, Brussels is expensive compared to many cities in the world, consistently ranked among those with the highest cost of living. But there are still ways to cut down the cost of your trip, from sampling street food to taking Brussels tours that include meals for as little as US$40 per person.

Two to three days should be enough for the city’s major sites and for indulging in the chocolate and beer that make it a culinary destination. However, if you intend to use Brussels as a home base to also explore the cities of Ghent and Bruges or nearby WWI battle sites, consider adding on a couple more days.
