Tom was good humored and very knowledgeable. He kept the group moving and on time. Definitely worth experiencing if time permits.

Quentin, our guide, provided me with a light-hearted introduction to Brussels, both the city and its people. At the same time, his presentation was factual and thought-provoking, yet very respectful when describing its history. I found this tour to be very, very good.

Nick was a great storyteller, a friendly guide and super knowledgeable. A fun way to get to see the Grand Place area.

We booked this tour last minute after a private tour was unexpectedly canceled. It’s our first time to Brussels, so perhaps we were just not accustomed to the quirkiness of local Belgians. To be honest, our tour guide’s crazy stories, and overall “schtick” got a bit tiresome in a short amount of time. The tour ran long – (close to three hours), and I noticed that while we were a small group to start with, half the group left the tour before it was finished. Again, I realize it is difficult to keep a group of foreigners entertained and interested, but this just wasn’t a favorite for me.

Absolutely great tour guide, Tom, he was delightful. He is very detailed and informative!
Gave us information on the city but also little inside tips of what and where to eat, drink, and see Brussels like a native.
Catherine_D, Jun 2026
The tour was very informative and interesting! Our guide Quentin was very open and funny. He kept us laughing with his stories from the city. This tour is great for a quick introduction to the city and combines local stories with a little history. I would highly recommend!
Thomas_R, May 2026
Tom was a great speaker and fun wit. A local with a great knowledge of all the sights and history of both Belgium and Brussels. Highly recommend!
Jody_L, Apr 2026
We were the only two who booked the tour, so when the time came, the guide told us it wasn’t worth his time to take just two of us. He offered another tour later that afternoon, but who knows what would have happened then. We were able to join another tour that was very good but much more strenuous.
Jennifer_K, Apr 2026
Very informative on the history of Brussels. Nice amount of time. Tour guide was friendly and funny. Very reasonably priced

Quinton was an amazing tour guide and made the tour so fun and interactive! His knowledge of the area's history was very interesting!! Quinton was amazing!
Chantelle_L, Apr 2026
Tom was entertaining and engaging. Was a bit concerned that he cursed a few times when we had young children with us. He kept a good pace and the tour was informative.
Stacey_M, Mar 2026
Such a great guide! Got to see lots of different things and Tom was so knowledgeable. We would recommend this trip! 10/10
HOLLY_F, Mar 2026

Ella_G, Dec 2025
Tom was incredibly welcoming, funny, and very knowledgeable. His enthusiasm for history made the tour both informative and enjoyable. He also shared great tips and recommendations on places to visit and where to eat, which was really helpful. I would definitely recommend doing this tour on your first day, its a perfect introduction to the city.

Marie_A, Dec 2025
It was an excellent tour, i highly recommend it. The tour guide was very nice and knew a lot about the city and its history.
Claudia_M, Nov 2025
They canceled because there was only 3 people. I wasted 30 minutes waiting to make sure I was on time then another 15 to see if more would join. Wasted too much time for it to be cancelled. Guide was nice to offer recommendations
Karen_V, Oct 2025
Confident young man who provided a lot of information with an attempt to include humour and fun.
Would recommend given the price
Tom_B, Oct 2025
The guide never showed up We waited for a long time and he never showed up. Xxxxxxxcxcxxcxcxxxxxxxxxx
Alice_C, Sep 2025
Tom was a super guide who gave us so much information about Brussels. This included historical facts, myths ,architecture and fun facts like where to get the best fritters or waffles! It was a great introduction to our time in Brussels giving us a comprehensive overview and helped us to orientate ourselves in a new city.
Tom was very helpful typing info into peoples phones and generous with his time.
Big thanks to Tom!
Niles_N, Sep 2025
This is a good walking tour to get acquainted to the old town part of Brussels. We did not seem to walk very far on this tour, but learned a lot about the history of Brussels. Adelin knew a lot about Brussels and the history. I think we all felt that we would have changed the balance between the depth of the information at each location and the number of locations to visit. He gave a lot of information at the location and probably spent too much time at a few where we could have just spent a few minutes. This would have allowed us to see more as we ran out of time.
Alex_S, Aug 2025
This tour is good but the best insight was given when the tour guide was talking from personal experience! Highly recommend asking questions. This tour covers the major parts of the city center and gives great context and recommendations for the rest of your stay
Julian_M, Aug 2025
Tom was not only knowledgeable but entertaining. Tom kept the day flowing and presented his information with excitement. The tour was well worth it and I highly recommend Tom.
David_H, Aug 2025
Solid - get to know Brussels - on foot with a knowledgeable guide. The right information so that you can hit the highlights on your own time.
Janice_B, Jul 2025
Tom was one of the most enjoyable tourguides on our entire trip. As a local he was extremely knowledgeable about all aspects of the city, including history plus special recommendations about food and beer. His sense of humor made the whole adventure truly engaging the entire time. It was a perfect way to begin our journey to Brussels.
Petra_T, Jun 2025
Tristan was our guide. Gave a really informative guide round key ‘must sees’ with a good dollop of humour. Excellent thank you!
Jane_K, Jun 2025
Good overview of the city. Our guide gave is the history and good recommendations for food and drinks
Gary_M, Jun 2025
Quinton was very good. He gave great recommendations and history. It is a long walk and the last part is up the hill so if you have problems walking I suggest only doing the first part of the tour.
Denise_N, May 2025
I waited over 30 minutes for the guide to show up and no one ever did. No description of who I was meeting was provided and no one responded to messages. I wouldn’t recommend this tour at all! They took my money and didn’t provide the service I paid for.
Marc_G, May 2025
Very informative tour. Good pace. Great recommendations for restaurants, sites, shopping from Tristan. Great guide. Knows his stuff!
