"We had a great tour of Brussels with Christopher. He was fun, knowledgeable and super helpful. We had a very warm spring day and the crowds were challenging, but Christophe managed to navigate our tour so we still saw all we wanted in Brussels and learned a lot. Highly recommend him!"

Review about Eric
"Eric was knowledgeable, friendly, flexible, everything you would want in a tour guide. He even helped make reservations at a restaurant we wanted. Our only regret was as that we did not have more time with him. "
"If you can only spend 3 hours in Brussels, then this is the way to do it. Elodie is very knowledgeable and has some little historical secret secrets under her sleeve. I will not share so you have to book her. :-). My son and I had a perfect afternoon with Elodie tasting delicious morsels Brussels have to offer. "
"We had the absolute pleasure of spending an afternoon in Brussels with Eric as our guide, and we honestly couldn't have asked for a better experience. Eric showed our group of four girlfriends around the city with warmth, charm, and a real insider's knowledge of Brussels.
He took us off the beaten track to discover some hidden gems we’d never have found on our own, shared fascinating stories and insights along the way, and tailored everything so naturally to our interests. One of the highlights was a stop at a stunning Art Deco bar for a perfectly chilled beer — such a unique, atmospheric spot! He also knew exactly where to find the best Belgian chocolate, and let’s just say... we didn’t leave empty-handed!
Eric was friendly, funny, and incredibly passionate about his city. If you're visiting Brussels and want a memorable, personalised experience, we can't recommend him highly enough. Thank you, Eric, for making our day so special!"
"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. "

Excellent overview of Brussels' highlights
"Christophe was an engaging and knowledgeable guide for all the highlights and a few hidden gems around Brussels city center. A lot of walking on a chilly day, a lot of information, and a great overview for further explorations over several days. "

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. "
