Private Tours in Brussels

The only way to discover all of Brussels’ hidden gems is with a local! The best places in Brussels are places you won’t stumble upon with your tour bus. Experience Brussels like a local with a private tour. You and your travel companions will have the undivided attention of your local guide.

  • Food Tours

    Food Tours

    Go on a private food tour in Brussels! Food is very important to Belgians, so you can’t miss out. We recommend a private guide when you discover Brussels’ food. He’ll be able to completely concentrate on your group’s preferences!

    The Brussels chocolate tour is an absolute must. Your private guide will take you on a chocolate journey you’ll never forget. Brussels has so many chocolate shops you won’t know which ones go to! But if you have a private guide by your side, you’ll get to taste the crème de la crème of the Belgian chocolate! Plus, your guide will tell you all about the chocolate making process. Do it!

  • City Highlights Tours

    City Highlights Tours

    The best way to discover Brussels’ many highlights is by going on a private tour. Why? You’ll have your guide all to yourself! Just let him know your preferences before you go.

    Brussels has so much to offer. It’s basically impossible to sum up all of its highlights. It depends on what you like, really. Do you like beautiful historic architecture, your guide will take you to the Grand-Place. If you like cozy restaurants and bars, the Marché au Poisson will be included in your private tour. If you like the alternative vibe, one of our tour guides specializes in just that! Let your private guide know what you like and you’ll have the best tour you can wish for.

  • Comic Book Tours

    Comic Book Tours

    If you’re into comic books, you should really go on one of these private tours in Brussels. Europe’s capital is where Tintin was invented, next to so many other comic book heroes! We recommend a private guide for these types of tours. Especially if you’re sort of a comic books geek – excuse our French. You’ll have the chance to load your private guide with questions.

    Did you know there are about 50 comic book murals all over Brussels, made by famous Belgian comic book writers? At the tour, you probably won’t get to do all of them, so just let your guide know about your favorites! That’s the advantage of having a private guide: you get to call the shots!

  • Multicultural Tours

    Multicultural Tours

    Brussels has many, many nationalities. And all of these different cultures have really left their mark on Belgium’s capital. If you want to experience Brussels like a local, you should really go on a private multicultural tour. The multicultural tours are among our top private tours in Brussels!

    Most of the big cities have a Chinatown. So does Brussels, but it also has Molenbeek, filled with Arabic cultures, the Matongé neighborhood, where many Congolese live, and a European neighborhood where European and American expats and diplomats come together. The advantage of having a private tour guide for this one, is that you don’t have to feel bothered if you want to ask him a bunch of questions!

  • Art and Culture Tours

    Art and Culture Tours

    The last private Brussels tours you can‘t miss out on are the art and culture tours. Belgian comic books are not the only form of culture Brussels has to offer. Europe’s capital is basically filled with art and history! The best way to discover this is with a private guide by your side. You’ll really get to experience Brussels’ art and culture like a local!

    Brussels is particularly famous for its Art Nouveau and Art Deco architecture. And you don’t have to go a museum to stumble upon examples of these design and architecture movements. There are many such buildings throughout the city! Ask your private tour guide to take you there.

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!

    Fabulous walking tour of Brussels

    Amazing Start to Finish!

    "Asefeh was wonderful! She had the pickup location in a place that was easy to locate and not busy. This made it really easy to find her. The food stops were great and made you feel more attached to the city. From local seafood to an amazing beer location, it was so much fun! The waffles were the star of the show, so good! That being said, without her it just would have been a normal tour, but she brought so much life to the afternoon. From the stories to the local facts we left wanting more time in Brussels. She showed us places we never would have tried and gave suggestions for the rest of the trip. Start your visit with a food tour with Asefeh, it will make the rest of your trip so much better. "

    Chocolate tour with Matteo

    "Excellent tour with Matteo! He was promptly at our meeting spot and gave us a fantastic history tour through the quaint streets of Brussels. Provided a lot of historic insight around the city, not to mention the history of chocolate in Brussels as well as the process of how it’s made. Took us to several high quality chocolate shops to sample their chocolates, which were amazing, as well as provide some history/background of each store. We are from the U.S. and Matteo was very friendly, and well versed in Brussels, and able to answer all of our questions. HIGHLY RECOMMEND Matteo if you’re looking for a private tour and want to learn a little more about Brussels while enjoying some very fine chocolates."

    A great introduction to a great city!

    "Thiago is a wonderful storyteller - he is so animated and clearly passionate about his subject matter. He is also really friendly and put us at ease immediately. We were just on a quick day-trip to Brussels from Paris and the kick-starter tour was perfect for giving us a taste of the city and the many interesting things to do and see there. We are already planning another trip in the future so we can spend more time in Brussels. I would highly recommend this tour, especially if you don't have a ton of time to spend and just want to see a few important sights."

    Review about Eric

    "If you are a chocolate lover or first time in Brussels this is the tour for you. Eric was excellent. I would recommend him to anyone. The chocolate tour was great and he was very knowledgeable. He went above and beyond and gave us a great tour of the city and showed us some hidden gems we were not expecting. I would rate this tour a 15 out of 10!!"

    "Had a fabulous outing with the Eric! Knowledgeable, personable, accomplished, spontaneous and accommodating. Could not imagine anyone better in this or any city, and we’ve experienced many others. You will not regret having Eric show you the good (and the bad) of life in, and the history of, Brussels."
