Sebastian was fun, knowledgeable and very funny! He knows the neighborhood bars so well, we definitely felt treated to secret places only frequented by locals. The samples are generous and you get to try a wide variety of beers with different flavors, and some delicious chocolates in between. Highly recommend!!

Best Beer Tour in Brussels.

rocco_t, Aug 2025
Sebastian was a wonderful guide. He gave us a lot of history while getting to enjoy some amazing beers you won’t find anywhere else. Trust me we tried to after our tour. Sebastian is a native to Brussels and knows everyone and everything about this wonderful city. Highly would recommend this tour.

Fun beer tasting experience

Gangkai_Z, Oct 2024
The guide is funny and friendly and the beers are really good! The sausage, cheese, meat ball, and chocolate were tasty. Great experience!

Good beers but was expecting more ‘fun’

Sam_I, Oct 2024
Was expecting a bit more fun and laughter. Our elderly guide was pleasant but what we got was quite a serious, in-depth guide to beers and brewing. Might be preferential to some people but for us the day dragged a bit.

A Great Afternoon Tour!

Dianna_V, Sep 2024
Sebastian, our tour guide, was amazing. He knew everybody! He is proud of his Belgium and told us lots of stories about its history, the history of the beers he had us sample - lots of sampling - and about his life there. An amazing afternoon with a special man! Thanks, Sebastian!

Amazing, fun and entertaining

Eddie_C, May 2024
We loved the tour and our tour guide. The meet up location was easy to find and our guide took us to pubs that locals went to, not tourists. We were given beer locals drink and enjoyed some meals along each destination as well. It was a great experience and we would gladly do it again. Thank you

Absolutely awesome

Andrew_K, May 2024
An amazing tour, our guide Eddie was awesome, lots of history and knowledge, his stories were very funny, had a great time only 4 on our tour ourselves and an awesome couple from France. Highly recommend,

This was fun

Ilene_P, May 2024
A fun time was had. The locations were interesting, each beer was really good as was the snacks and the storytelling.

Sebastian was the best...

Nazar_S, Apr 2024
Sebastian was the best tour guide I’ve ever had. Such an amazing and fun experience with him. Highly recommend!

Strong beer !

Roger_P, Feb 2024
Knowledgeable and friendly guide. Good selection of beers. Visited some bars we never would have found otherwise.

Super fun and informative

Sheaumei_T, Dec 2023
Our tour guide, Sebastian, was outstanding. He has a deep knowledge of Belgian beers and beer production, and also provided some interesting history of Brussels.

We love beer!

Robyn_D, Dec 2023
A wonderful way to learn about different beers and drink many of the finest beers in some hidden little pubs... and end up somewhat drunk!!! We met some wonderful people on this small group tour and Marc was full of info and very funny!

Great tour with a great host

Matthew_B, Dec 2023
Great beer. Eddie had the most amazing stories. Would do this trip again in a heartbeat. Very enjoyable

Beer tour a bit disappointing

Jeff_T, Dec 2023
The venues were interesting but the beers were not great. The guide was really not right person as she didn’t like beer! Not really told anything about history of venues or beers.

Response from Host, Jan 2024

Hello Jeff, you are right about the guide. She does not work with us anymore. About the selection of the beers, we can discuss. We took 8 different beers, each of them with different flavours.

Super tour!

Clifford_M, Nov 2023
Small group. Beer was great. Terry was also excellent - Full of insights, funny, & kind. Couldn't have asked for a better experience.

“Private” tour fortune

Paul_T, Oct 2023
Booked a beer tour to cap my week in Brussels. Arrived at the meeting place a bit late, “Are you Paul?” I heard… seeing my guide alone, I thought oh well, I’m the only one who signed up… this might be a bit awkward. I could not have been more wrong. My guide Terry was one of the warmest, most intelligent and interesting people I’ve ever met… we spent the next 4.5 hours talking about Belgium history, beer and life in general … and of course sampling a few great local beers. Thanks Terry! 🍻

Great way to have a drink

Esben_R, Oct 2023
Great hidden bars and a lot of interesting history and fun anecdotes. Terry was a fun and knowledgeable guide

MUST-DO! AMAZING AMAZING AMAZING!

Abbie_K, Oct 2023
Sebastian was an AMAZING guide!!! He had an amazing knowledge of everything! The history of the area, amazing bars we never would’ve found, amazing recommendations for where to eat and of course… an incredible amount of knowledge of different beers and how they are made. We absolutely LOVED our tour! He was super easy to find in the large square and absolutely hilarious! 10/10 would recommend this tour a million times over. We cannot say enough good things about it. The beers we tried were phenomenal and the commentary was great. Seriously fantastic.

Amazing!

Caitlin_M, Oct 2023
I loved this tour! Sebastian was so funny and very informative! The beer was great and the bars were awesome. I went solo so it was great meeting other people to tour Brussels with.

Perfect Belgian Beer Tour

jennifer_P, Sep 2023
I cannot say enough about how amazing of a tour guide Sebastian was! He was fun and so knowledgeable about all the DELICIOUS beer! 7 beers in 6 stops was amazing! We couldn’t have loved this tour more!

Wonderful Afternoon of Belgium Beer Tasting

Michelle_P, Aug 2023
Our guide Sebastian was great fun. He was very knowledgeable about the bars and beer throughout the city and included a lot of fun history tidbits along the way. I really loved that this tour took us to bars that I probably would never have noticed or even stepped in and they were absolutely lovely.

Fantastic sample of Belgian beers and other quintessential Belgian treats

Lee_N, Jul 2023
This beer tour was the highlight of Belgium! Our guide Eddie took us to several unique pubs including a puppet theater where we had delicious Belgian beers along with tasty treats such as cheese and fries.

Best Beer Tour in Brussels

captainjml, Jul 2023
My wife and I are visiting Belgium and celebrating our 25th wedding anniversary. We took Marc’s beer tour in Brussels and had the best time! Sebastien was our guide and he was terrific: informative, funny, and entertaining. We didn’t want the evening to end. Highly recommend!

Sebastian was great…

Carlos_R, Jun 2023
Although there was a bit of confusion at the start of the tour (we suppose to find a person in a blue shirt, but there was nobody wearing blue), Sebastian was a phenomenal tour guide: not only he explained absolutely everything about the beers and the history, but also gave great recommendations on restaurants, bar, and the overall town. I recommend it.

Engaging fun tour!

Kimberly_G, Jun 2023
This small group tour was a perfect way to spend an afternoon in Brussels. We met new friends, and Eddie was a fantastic tour guide.

Great way to spend an afternoon

Brandon_H, May 2023
Sebastian was a great guide. Very knowledgeable about beers and the city with great recommendations. Highly recommend the tour.

A Must in Brussels

Joseph_A, May 2023
Phenomenal experience. All the guides were incredibly knowledgeable and they took us to 4 unique places where we tried a variety of Belgian beers. Great history lessons of Brussels as well! Highly recommend!

Nice tour not just beer tasting, but also with some smaller sightseeing-info.

Markus_D, May 2023
Nice tour not just beer tasting, but also with some smaller sightseeing-info. Most of the beers need to get used for the specific taste, but a broad range was given.

Believe it or not, it was an awesome trip!

Pascal_S, May 2023
Sebastian gave us a nice tour through Bruessels, with a lot of knowledge about beer, bars, history and lot more. Thanks

Do this tour!

Garrett_B, Apr 2023
Amazing time with a fantastic guide and great beers, guide was very knowledgeable about the city and the beers
