Laurence best guide I had in Western Europe and i travelled extensively over last 23 days

A great understanding of the EU integration process in Brussels.

Faye_L, May 2024
The ability to sit with my tour guide and ask in depth questions on policy issues related to the EU, EU administrative structures, energy issues related to the war with Russia - Ukraine, etc. Andrea’s breadth of knowledge related to policy in the EU is enormous.

Response from Host, May 2024

That sounds like an incredibly insightful tour experience with Andrea! Thank you for sharing your experience.

Learned so much

In just a few hours, gained first hand knowledge from a learned historian about the city, the country and contemporary issues while walking the town. My guide, Andrea, was articulate and personable and I was very impressed.

Response from Host, Apr 2024

Thank you for your kind words! We're delighted to hear that you had such a positive experience with Andrea as your guide. We'll be sure to pass along your compliments to him. If you ever find yourself in need of more insights or exploration, we'd be thrilled to assist you again.

Great if you like genuine political discourse rather than the standard script from guide books

Barbara_C, Jul 2022
