My reviews

The tour was excellent. We felt like we saw most of the city in 4 hours. Our guide was Francis L. As the guide learned about our interests he showed us things that were specific to what we showed interest in. If we come back to the area we would tour with him again. We would definitely recommend him.

Francis was very knowledgeable and took all of my preferences into account. The tour was the perfect balance of having structure while allowing for flexibility to adjust on the fly. Was able to see parts of the city that only a local would know about which was very unique. Looking forward to visiting Brussels again in the future!

Francis was the best. From explaining the history, showing us the highlights, allowing time for more in depth time in areas we were interested and location for lunch. He was knowledgeable, kind, and engaging. The day flew by in an instant. He even gave us recommendations for our travels the next days we were in Belgium with a list of must sees and recommendations for meals. Could not have asked for a better guide. Thank you for an amazing day.

Francis could not have been more knowledgeable or personable on our 4-hour exploration of Brussels. He knows so much about so many things that we really felt like we learned a lot of Brussels and its neighborhoods as well as Belgian history. But it also wasn’t information overload; he calibrated the tour to our preferences. A great day!
