This was an extremely good value and a great way to learn about the neighborhoods and culture of Brussels! My tour was just me, one other participant, and the guide, so it was basically a private tour for the price of a small group tour, and it lasted well over three hours, meaning we got to see nearly all the neighborhoods of Brussels. I’m glad I did this tour to get a better idea of the city and all it has to offer!

We had a wonderful time with Tiago! He was an expert on the history of Brussels, and especially of the beer and chocolate. We also enjoyed all the recommendations. Would highly recommend!

Wonderful family time - everyone (6 year old, teens and adults) all enjoyed the experience!

Easy to understand instructions, family friendly, great city break activity

This was amazing! What a nice way to visit a city.
