A very memorable experience - Our tour guide is the best. She is very nice, knowledgeable and very considerate. Though it is a walking tour but she is considerate enough to make sure she will explained on a covered building or give us time to do quick stop for rest or bathroom. It really means a lot to us especially on a very cold weather. I really learned a lot from this tour. The waffle and chocolate tasting steal the thunder. I would highly recommend this tour with this particular tour company and tour guide.

Book this tour upon arrival to Brussels! - Sancar is an excellent communicator! Book this tour upon arrival! He is full of incredible details about Brussels and very fun to walk around the city and ask questions. He knows everything! I especially loved his explanation of the Grand Place! After the tour I felt like I had a good overview of the city and was not afraid to venture out myself. At the end of the trip he emailed us places to eat, shop and fun facts of places to go. He is a wealth of information. Highly recommend!

This tour made Brussels more beautiful. - Honestly, Brussel was made a lot more interesting by our guide. His stories and explanations were excellent. He picked some cool highlights and explained the history and stories behind it very well and clearly. I loved his neutral and objective approach to the city. No ‘this is the best chocolate’ nonsense, but ‘I like the story behind this chocolate shop’ for instance. The length of the tour was perfect, although I would love a longer tour with this friendly man. He had lots of good recommendations for the rest of our stay for nice pubs and vegetarian restaurants. The group was nice and small on purpose so we had plenty of time to ask the guide questions. Excellent experience, I highly recommend a tour with this man! Thank you Sancar

A fantastic introduction to Brussels - The tour was exceptionally well-organized and expertly led by our guide, Lou. Lou was both knowledgeable and entertaining, guiding us for nearly 2 hours and 45 minutes while sharing valuable insights, including detailed information about the Grand Place. This experience is a must-do, ideally as the first activity when you begin your visit to Brussels.

A friendly and informative Brussels tour - I really enjoyed this tour of Brussels! The guide was warm, approachable, and very knowledgeable about the city. They gave me excellent recommendations for vegetarian-friendly places to eat, which was a big help. The chocolate tasting was a real treat, and I loved getting to try the famous waffles. It was a fantastic way to experience the city, and I’d highly recommend it!

I was only in Brussels... - I was only in Brussels for the day and the tour gave such a wonderful overview to the city and many of the major nightlights. The tour guide was wonderful and even offered suggestion for other things to do once the tour was over.
