"Mariana was a perfect compliment to our time in Brussels. We would highly recommend her if you would like to spend time with someone who loves the city, is knowledgeable about local architecture, history and social culture. We were three generations walking together around Brussels and she naturally connected with all of us. Thank you for a wonderful afternoon. "

Best Food Suggestions/Tourist Highlights
"Tiago was high energy and engaging as he pointed our best places to find all the “must eat” food highlights. He led us to the best fries (no wait). Round church, main square and boy peeing were some of our favorite experiences enhanced by Tiago’s story telling. He topped of the tour with some special treats! We were very happy with our tour. "
"Tiago provided a great experience and knows much about Brussels. Great personality and full of helpful recommendations on restaurants, chocolates, bars, etc. He has deep knowledge of the city and its history and is a wonderful storyteller. "

"We had a fabulous tour with Elodie. We highly recommend. Elodie educated us on traditional beer and brewing and she was able to suggest drinks to suit what we liked. Even if you are not a beer drinker this tour is great. Cherry beer is great for first timers ! Elodie also offered local hints and tips. We ate at a traditional restaurant Elodie recommended and it was also amazing. We also visited beer houses off the beaten tourist path as part of the tour that we wouldn’t have normally gone to and the accompanying snacks with the drinks were lovely. Really recommend this tour. "
"I really enjoyed this tour with Elodie. She has a great knowledge of all things beer-related, made great beer tasting recommendations and showed me some lovely new Belgian bars, that I have never visited before even though I already know Brussels quite well. I can only recommend this tour and Elodie as a guide. Thank you so much!"

Amazing experience! This is a must do!
"Elodie was absolutely amazing and a wonderful guide. She took us to some great spaces we would never have visited on our own and helped guide our beer experience with new things. She took time to make the tour personable and interesting. We could not recommend her or this experience more! If visiting Brussels, this is a must do!"

Stimulating experience
"Tiago provided a fun and educational experience. He is very emotive and was able to bring the city to life. He had an ability to combine the history, culture and architecture in a personal way through his own experience in Brussels. We enjoyed his company and recommend him highly."
