Fantastic tour with Nicholas. He was energetic, funny and extremely informative. We learned a lot about Brussels and really enjoyed the tour despite the wet weather. We were hesitant at first because there were about 25 people on the tour, but Nick handled it perfectly and used a microphone when needed. Highly recommend!

The meeting place was easy to find. The tour guide was incredibly well versed in the history of the square, the town, and the country. We learned a lot, the walking pace was finest, and the locations we visited were as advertised and expected.

Overview

Many of the top attractions in Brussels—including the Manneken Pis statue and the Grand Place—are within walking distance of one another, making it easy to see a lot in a short amount of time. However, finding your way through the historic center is easier with a guide. As you explore, listen to live commentary and take in the sights—rather than following your GPS.

Great introduction to...

Josephine_V, Aug 2026
Great introduction to Belgium's capital city! The walk was pleasant, historical and well paced. Our guide was personable and articulate with a good command of the English language. My husband and I had fun walking the historical and beautiful city of Brussels with the tidbits of information only a good guide can give you.

Knowledgeable guide, informative tour

Jill_R, Aug 2026
Our guide was very informative and interactive with the group. This tour is very worthwhile. Only one thing I found awkward, the guide often mentioned his expectation of payment and how much, even taking the group to a bank to get money.

Excellent walking tour

Rosa_S, Aug 2026
Marcella was really knowledgeable and we saw so many things in a short space of time. It was lovely learning about the history of Brussels.

City Walking Tour Of Brussels

Kelly_W, Aug 2026
Fantastic walking city tour of Brussels with the amazing Marcella. She was fun, friendly and so knowledgeable of the area providing recommendations for shops, eateries, drinks etc We absolutely loved her fun quiz at the end of the tour which cemented how much we learned about Brussels during our time with her. This is a must see and do tour whilst in Brussels. We would highly recommend it and hopefully you will be lucky enough to have Marcella, Thanks again Marcella.

Fantastic Tour - Don’t pay

Debra_R, Aug 2026
The tour guide was super amazing. It was a great tour but I learned this was a FREE tour where you are expected to tip the guide $15-$20. I am up set with Viatour for charging me $3.50 a ticket..

They cancelled on us same day

Peter_C, Jul 2026
The tour operator messaged us the same day of the tour requesting to schedule for several hours earlier which was not possible. Had to cancel the tour with no time to book anything else. Not impressed.

Quick glimpse of the city

PuiFong_W, Jul 2026
This tour gave us brief and quick understanding of this city. For a traveller who visited this city first time, I think it’s good enough.

Great way to learn about Brussels

Giulia_B, Jul 2026
I had a great time on this walking tour! Be prepared to walk, but it’s worth it to see so many different parts and highlights of the city. I learned a lot of history about Brussels and Belgium.

The beauties of Brussels

Anne_R, Jul 2026
An excellent overview of the city of Brussels with lots of anecdotal stories and actual historical information. Adelin was an amusing and entertaining storyteller. Highly recommend.

It is a ‘walking’ tour so...

Robert_S, Jul 2026
It is a ‘walking’ tour so be prepared. But it was not overly exerting. Francois was very knowledgeable and helped us to understand life in early Belgium and Brussels. And how everything fit together. A very pleasurable excursion.

Great fun and useful information

John_C, Jul 2026
Marcella gave a wonderful anecdote filled tour of Brussels with good answers to our questions and several good recommendations.

Young, knowledgeable energetic guide

Martin_J, Jul 2026
Sebastian was an energetic knowledgeable guide and it was a good well-structured tour. Sebastian’s restaurant and bar recommendations turned out to be super reliable as well, taking us to a couple of far less commercialized venues.

Great way to see...

Jessica_B, Jul 2026
Great way to see Brussels! We traveled from Paris to spend the day and this tour allowed us to get an overview with our limited time.

Highly recommended

MeiKun_I, Jul 2026
A knowledge and passionate tour guide originally from Italy. The tip-based guiding is new to us. We found the encouraging and fair system.

A great way to spend the afternoon!

Susan_N, Jul 2026
Very informative and a nice variety of stops. Not overly tasking and rest/wc time was built in. Glad we participated.

Mommy & Daughter in Brussels

Malena_M, Jul 2026
Sebastian is serious and funny at the same time. His explanations and facts were perfectly matched to the scenery. I truly enjoyed his comprehensive coverage of REAL historical facts that many people do not know about. Wish we had more time to see more of Brussels— we came in from Paris on the Eurostar for this tour.

Brussels oldTown overview

Karen_B, Jul 2026
Great overview of the Grand Square and several other locations that I probably wouldn’t have seen without the tour. Sety (hopefully I spelled her name right) was a great guide. Very informative and fun.

Seti was fun and...

Monica_J, Jul 2026
Seti was fun and informative and did a great job being interactive with the group. We learned quite a bit of history, saw beautiful buildings and key places in the city center. I'd do it again.

Great bruxelles tour

Dominique_R, Jun 2026
It was very interesting and the guide was very friendly and knowledgeable. Lots of walking and really enjoyed learning about history.

Fun walking tour of the cit

Mark_L, Jun 2026
A fun walking tour of the city, run by friendly guides. Honest opinions were shared, which I for one appreciated. Suitable for all ages.

Thoroughly Enjoyed It

SandyandLucky, Jun 2026
What a wonderful tour and time well spent learning about Brussels! I highly recommend this tour to anyone coming to Brussels.

Marcela was a wonderful guide

Ralph_K, Jun 2026
Marcela did a fantastic job providing lots of information about the history of Brussels. From medieval times, through to more modern times Marcela was a fount of knowledge. Highly recommended!

Great guide

Linda_J, Jun 2026
Tour guide Haddlin was terrific. Very knowledgeable and entertaining. Gave lots of advice of how to enjoy Brussels

A great tour that lived up to expectations!

The tour operator was a no show

Patricia_F, Jun 2026
The tour guide did no arrive. I rang the company and left a message and the did not call back. Viator took my money

Response from Host, Jun 2026

Hello Patricia, We are sorry to hear this. Our records confirm that the tour operated as scheduled, our guide was present at the meeting point, and multiple Viator travelers attended the tour at that time. As a gesture of goodwill, we issued a full refund. Kind regards,

Great Brussels tour!

Great tour of a beautiful city. The square is unbelievable and a must see in Brussels. And, chocolate must be tried!

I would describe this as...

P_G, May 2026
I would describe this as an average tour. It covered several notable sites in the city center and provided a decent overview of the area. Having taken numerous city tours, however, this one felt somewhat amateur compared to others I have experienced. That said, the tour operates on a more tip-based model, so the more basic format was not entirely unexpected. Overall, it was a reasonable introduction to the city, but travelers who are looking for a more polished and in-depth experience may prefer a more paid guided tour.

Response from Host, Jun 2026

Dear P_G, Thank you for joining our tour and for taking the time to share your thoughtful feedback. We are pleased to hear that the tour provided a useful introduction to Brussels and its main landmarks. Our goal is to make Brussels accessible and enjoyable for travelers from all over the world, and feedback such as yours helps us continue refining the experience we offer. Thank you for visiting Brussels with us, and we wish you enjoyable travels ahead. Kind regards, BelgoTours Team
