Highly recommended - The tour guide (unfortunately forgot his name but he’s from western Australia) was great. Took us to the most important parts of the city and told us all the stories and fun facts.

An incredible tour rich with history! - Lou was an incredible tour guide!! She was so knowledgeable about the history of Brussels and helped contextualize everything we were seeing around us. I particularly loved the learning the symbology of the guild houses in the main square and the differences between a liege and Brussels waffles! She was funny, kind, and made sure to show us lots of “hidden gems” that as tourists we wouldn’t have seen otherwise. I highly recommend this tour!

Great tour! - This tour was very educational. The guide took us all around the grand place and up to the royal palace area. We had one waffle and one chocolate tasting. So, if you are expecting a lot of food/tastings, you will be disappointed, as it is more a tour than a tasting. But it was great.

Alex and the canals of Amsterdam. - The tour was chock full of info! Alex was so funny and entertaining, that it made enjoyable instead of flat boring blah blah about houses. Thank you Alex and crew. I would have liked to see more architecture and windmills. We had a lovely time.
