Top Brussels Day Trips

George was amazing !! Our tour of Antwerp was absolutely the highlight of our trip to Belgium, and it was all thanks to our incredible guide! From the moment we met outside the breathtaking Antwerp Central Station, their passion for this beautiful city was completely contagious. They did an amazing job balancing Antwerp’s rich, deep history with fun local legends and modern culture. We walked through the stunning Grote Markt, admired the medieval guild houses, and learned the fascinating story behind the Brabo Fountain. They also pointed out amazing details on the spectacular Cathedral of Our Lady and took us to see the historic Het Steen castle. What made this tour truly special was how personable, engaging, and flexible our guide was. Instead of just rattling off dry dates and facts, they felt like a local friend showing us around. They perfectly tailored the pace to our group, happily answered all of our endless questions, and even showed us a few hidden, off-the-beaten-path spots that we never would have discovered on our own. To top it all off, they gave us fantastic personal recommendations for the best Belgian waffles, local frites, and neighborhood spots to check out after the tour ended. If you are visiting Antwerp, do yourself a favor and book a tour with them! You will leave with a deep love for the city and unforgettable memories. Highly, highly recommended!

That was a very interesting tours as we were anxious to learn about WWI. Patrick was very good at providing information and was very knowledgeable about the war. The cemetery visits were great seeing the young age of our poor soldiers who died fighting for freedom. We could had used more time at the museum but there was a lot to see and experience and I understand. Very educational and was providing us with more information about we already knew about WWI. Recommended as a tour.

Did not know what to expect from this tour but it was by far our favorite experience during our trip to Brussels! If you are a WWII buff, or just have an interest in the subject, you MUST book this tour with Martin King! It’s like taking an interactive history class with your favorite professor! He has written 17 books on the subject and won Emmy Awards for his documentary on a little known Congo born black nurse from Bastogne who heroically served at a US aid station during the Battle of the Bulge. Because he has done so much research on WWII and has interviewed so many survivors (Belgian, American and German), his stories are endlessly fascinating. We could have listened to him all day! This is a MUST if you have any interest in WWII history, especially Battle of the Bulge! (Note: Dr King only gives this tour on Saturdays. Book accordingly, you won’t regret it!)
