"We had an amazing tour of Brussels with Eric. He is super knowledgeable and a true history buff! He’s also a funny guy with a great personality. The best thing about a tour like this is the flexibility to see the things that are of the most interest. Eric did not disappoint, and we loved his passion for his city and country! Don’t hesitate to book with him! "
"We had a lovely walk around Brussels with Christophe.
He clearly knows a lot about the city and is proud to live there. He showed us the main tourist sites plus a few places we would probably not have found ourselves. He was happy to adjust the tour if we wished and left us at a place near to our hotel with plenty of restaurants to choose from."

Good for experts and novices alike
"Elodie was terrific, both knowledgeable and charming. She offered sound advice on which beers to choose, so we had three very different beers, including an unusual lambic. The pubs we visited were interesting and funky, but the snacks were just snacks. "
"We had a great time. Esteph was fun and very informetative. Highly recommended 😎"

Excellent Guide for Brussels
"Shanthuru is an excellent guide! I took the tour 5 months pregnant and he was considerate of me when I needed to stop and buy water and even asked if he was walking too fast which was not necessary but very much appreciated! He is very knowledgeable of all things Brussels and gave us great recommendations for sweet and savory snacks, food and dinner. I highly recommend Shanthuru, he is friendly and has a great sense of humor."
"My friend and I had a wonderful tour with Tiago, a really lovely and informative person.
I must say I’d been a little worried as I’d booked and paid for this tour last December with a different guide , and on me writing to confirm with him a few days before out tour had him reply that he would no longer being doing it…… He recommended Tiago for us and we honestly couldn’t have asked for a better morning.
We learnt so much, Tiago ‘knows his stuff’ , clearly loves Brussels and had a great sense of humour. I’d most certainly recommend him. He even got me to try beer!! Thank you Tiago. "
"It was a pleasure to spend the afternoon with Eric. His knowledge & passion for Brussels and as a guide was wonderful. A great afternoon, in the sunshine seeing wonderfully sights that we could both have done without him.
Thankyou !"
"Eric was a truly exceptional guide who transformed our beer tour into one of the highlights of our Brussels trip. His upbeat energy, deep knowledge, and genuine passion for Belgian beer culture made for an unforgettable experience.
What stood out most was Eric’s authentic love for his city and country - he’s a remarkable ambassador for Brussels who brings the local beer traditions to life through engaging stories and historical context. His friendly, empathetic approach made us feel immediately welcome and comfortable.
He guided us to local bars with outstanding atmosphere and history that we otherwise would not have found on our own. At each stop, Eric shared his extensive knowledge of the local beers, explaining the distinct styles and exceptional quality that make Belgian beer world-renowned. His explanations were informative without being overwhelming, perfect for enhancing our appreciation of each tasting.
The entire experience was elevated by Eric’s talent as a guide and his experience in creating a personalized journey through Brussels’ beer culture. He never rushed us and took time to answer all our questions, creating a relaxed yet enriching atmosphere throughout the tour.
If you’re visiting Brussels and want to understand why beer holds such an important place in Belgian culture, Eric’s tour is absolutely the way to experience it. His passion, knowledge, and warm personality make him the perfect guide to introduce you to the authentic beer traditions of this remarkable city."
"Asefeh was the perfect guide for our Brussels chocolate tour - relaxed, knowledgeable, and genuinely warm. She struck the ideal balance of information about chocolate without overwhelming us with details, while also turning our walk between tastings into an impromptu city tour. We appreciated her insights about local history and architecture as much as the delicious chocolate experiences! Even when we ran slightly behind schedule, Asefeh made sure we didn’t miss any of the chocolate experiences we had paid for. Her easygoing nature made the entire tour feel like exploring Brussels with a knowledgeable friend rather than a formal guide. Highly recommended for chocolate lovers who also want to get a feel for the city!"
"Eric was fabulous. He managed the tour in a way that my mother (who doesn't walk well) was able to manage and enjoy the history of the main square and chocolate shops along the way. He was knowledgable, friendly, and gave us tips about places to go to drink and eat the best waffles. I highly recommend!"
