Private & Personalized Tours in Brussels with a Local
When you hit the road and land in a new city like Brussels, there's an exciting way to dive into its soul: personalized local tours. Forget the typical touristy routes – these tours are like having a local friend show you around all the cool spots.
Imagine having someone who lives and breathes Brussels spill its secrets. That's what local guides bring to the table. They know the hidden alleys, the best bites, and stories that never made it to the guidebooks. Whether you're into munching through food tours, wandering the city's streets, or going off the beaten path, a local guide hooks you up with a private tour that's authentically Brussels.
The best part? These tours are all about you. No herding in big groups or rushing through places you're not interested in. With private tours, you're the boss. Whether it's snapping pics at iconic landmarks, diving into history, or checking out the art scene, the tour is tuned to your vibes at your tempo.
But it doesn't stop at city limits. Day trips let you escape the urban jungle and explore nearby wonders. And if you're just setting foot in Brussels, kickstart tours give you a taste of everything. Think of it as a crash course in Brussels awesomeness, guided by a local who knows the city like the back of their hand.
So, next time you're in Brussels, ditch the ordinary. Grab a local tour and unlock the city's real magic – the stories, flavors, and places that make it uniquely Brussels. Get ready to explore like a local!

Best curated city tour!
"We had the best city highlights tour with Eric! He graciously and seamlessly curated the tour for our family of 4 including two under 4. We loved learning about the city’s past and present while learning local secrets and stories along the way. Ended with some Belgium
Chocolate. Truly fantastic tour, thank you Eric!"
"We had an absolutely fantastic experience on this food tour, and so much of that is thanks to our incredible host, Esteph. She truly went above and beyond—thoughtfully customizing the food selections to match our tastes and making sure every stop felt special and intentional.
Beyond the delicious food, Esteph shared so much fascinating history about the area, which added real depth and context to the experience. She was also generous with recommendations for the rest of our visit, pointing us to spots we never would have found on our own.
Esteph was warm, knowledgeable, and clearly passionate about what she does. This tour ended up being a highlight of our trip, and we can’t recommend her highly enough. If you get the chance to tour with Esteph, don’t hesitate—she’s exceptional."

Awesome tour with Matteo!
"Matteo is a very passionate tour guide. He's full of knowledgeable history. He enjoys his job and ensures he answers all of your questions and is very detailed in giving you detailed instructions on meeting points and how to navigate from the train station. He also provided his contact information in case we had any further questions after the tour. We would highly recommend Mateo."

Highly Recommend Food Tour
"We had an amazing time on our tasting/walking tour in Brussels! Asefeh is incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, and clearly loves what she does. She knows so much about the city and brought us to some of the best local spots to try quintessential Belgian classics — from mussels and frites to waffles and chocolate. It felt less like a formal tour and more like exploring the city with a friend. We never felt rushed, and she let us go at our own pace while sharing great stories and insights along the way.
I couldn’t recommend her more — I’ve been on many private tours, and I would gladly rebook with her again. Highly recommend!"

Amazing tour with the BEST guide!
"We had a great time with Asefeh! She is incredibly warm, kind and easygoing. We discovered hidden gems we would have never found on our own in the short time we were in Brussels. We tasted some absolutely amazing high quality chocolates, mouse and much more! The places she selected were thoughtful and authentic. She really pays attention to you personally and it felt like walking around with a knowledgeable local friend.
We had a bad experience in Ghent with another local, but Asefeh really turned the tables and made us feel comfortable, heard and acknowledged. Thank you so much, Asefeh! "

Review about Eric
"We had a lovely time with Eric. We were in Brussels for just an afternoon and the tour gave us a great introduction to the city. AND he’s a wonderful connoisseur of chocolates! Thanks, Eric!!"
"Tiago gave us a completely enjoyable, informative and entertaining tour. With the laughs we had and the knowledge of Brussels we got, we all felt great about the city, the people and the beauty. Highly recommended!"
