Experience Off the Beaten Track in Brussels with Withlocals

"We love private touring with locals in order to get an immediate feel for a new destination and to get oriented for exploring on our own. We have been fortunate to participate in many tours on our travels. Christophe fulfilled all of our expectations. A familiarity with the history and stories of a location are essential… but an ability to adapt and address the specific interests of a visitor distinguish a host from a tour guide. Christophe is a wonderful host whose enthusiasm for his home city and its stories is obvious. The tour was an extended conversation in English and French rather than a scripted recital. We would highly recommend Christophe to anyone looking for an enthusiastic and knowledgeable introduction to Brussels and Belgium. "

"Christophe was absolutely fabulous! He gave us a detailed tour that felt like exploring Brussels with a long-time friend rather than a formal guide. His warm, personable approach and infectious enthusiasm for the city made our experience truly special. We particularly loved when he showed us his own neighborhood, adding personal stories that brought the area to life. An unexpected highlight was stopping at a local pub to sample Belgian beers - a thoughtful surprise that wasn't part of the official tour. Christophe's knowledge is impressive, but it's his genuine love for Brussels and his ability to relate to visitors that sets him apart. His upbeat energy is contagious, making our time in Brussels all the more enjoyable. If you want to see the real Brussels through the eyes of someone who clearly adores this city, Christophe is your perfect guide!"

"Christophe, is a very knowledgable guide providing more then what is published, readily adapts to your interests and enjoyable to be around. "

"We spent a very enjoyable couple of hours with Christophe as he showed us some corners of Brussels that are not always seen by visitors. He was friendly, responsive to questions, and very knowledgeable."

"The Urban Jungle Tour is a Must Do!! Christophe is a wonderful guide & we learned SOOO much history about Brussels which is so relevant to the city that exists today. He gave us a full sweep of Molenbeek, showing us old buildings and new architecture projects in the area that are STUNNING! He's so knowledgeable & very engaging & entertaining. Give yourself the opportunity to step outside of the usual tourist areas & learn more about the Beautiful city of Brussels! You will not be disappointed!! "

"Our tour with Christophe was the highlight of our 4 nights in Brussels. We visited all the spots Christophe describes in the tour info and it was such a unique and interesting experience. The canal area and Molenbeck were fabulous to walk around and hear the history that Christophe showed us. He way he explained the history to the present of these areas was great and he really took the time to make the tour very memorable indeed. We wished we had booked him for the whole day instead of just 3 hours. I would highly recommend this tour with Christophe to get away from the touristic crowds and noise of the old city....especially for visitors staying more than a day or 2 in Brussels. Christophe told us the best places to eat and shop and the other areas that would be worth a visit over our 4 days. We have taken his recommendations on board and explored all these areas as well. He recommended where to eat for the best (and more affordable), local Belgian cuisine and also gave us some advice on the various areas for day trips from Brussels. Well worth every minute with Christophe. Sarah and David (from Sydney, Australia)"

"The music and beer tour with Christophe is a must! Its unique, personal and tailored. His knowledge and local relationships make for a great evening."

"My husband and I, along with our 3 adult children had an absolutely awesome couple of hours with Christophe exploring “behind the scenes”. His knowledge on history, fun sense of humour and taking time with each of us throughout our tour was top notch. He took the time to also provide us with recommendations on where to eat or what to do in our remaining time in Belgium. We had an absolutely fantastic day with him and highly recommend! "

"Our evening with Christophe was so much fun! He is so easy to talk with about Brussels or music or anything really. We walked thru a few historical sites in the St Gery square then into a local jazz bar. After a drink, we proceeded to a local tiny bar with a live jam session. Such fun artists! And a great Belgian beer selection! Several hours just flew by with meeting new people!! Thank you, Christophe! "

"Christophe was engaging and fun throughout the evening. He had a good grasp of what we were looking for and did well to pointing out places to go that night or on other days of our trip. Knowledgeable on beer as well and gave good recommendations."
