A glorious walking tour of Brussels
"We were first time travelers to Brussels and just came for the day on the Eurostar from Paris. Our group of six wanted a guided tour of historic Brussels and Thiago was everything we expected and more. He was very knowledgeable and we learned a lot. He pointed out restaurants, chocolate shops, and have a great knowledge of Belgium beers. He paced the tour well and told amazing stories. We would book a tour with Thiago again! "
"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."

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 such an enjoyable guide. My friends and I appreciated all his historical and local knowledge. He made us feel very welcome and what a relaxing fun day, thanks to Eric! "
"My partner and I recently had the pleasure of taking a walking tour of Brussels with a local guide named Eric, and it was truly a highlight of our trip. From the moment we met him, Eric's enthusiasm for his city was infectious. He was incredibly knowledgeable, sharing fascinating insights into the history and culture of Brussels at every turn. What made the tour even more enjoyable was Eric's wonderful sense of humour, which kept us engaged throughout the three hours we spent with him.
Eric took us to a variety of very interesting sights, each one brought to life by his passion for architecture, which clearly shone through in his commentary. He had a knack for pointing out details we might have otherwise missed, making the city feel truly vibrant and layered. A particular treat was his recommendation of a local takeaway spot for some authentic Belgian Frenched (no, not 'French') fries - a delicious end to a wonderful walk!
Beyond Brussels itself, Eric went above and beyond by offering us some excellent advice for our upcoming visit to Bruges the following day, which we really appreciated.
I would say the price was good value and we would have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending Eric as a guide. If you're looking for an engaging, informative, and fun way to discover Brussels, Eric is your person!"
