Andrea is a great storyteller. He will navigate through a brief history of Belgium while touring the most important sites around the walking tour while making it very interactive and entertaining. Would highly recommend.

Greg was a fantastic guide. I was more interested in the "why" and "how" of the old town area, and Greg was able to tailor my tour. Excellent experience, and I would recommend him to anyone!

Paola was very kind and personable. I got to learn about the historical and cultural aspects of Brussels. I got to experience the European Parliament and learn all about the EU as this was something I was personally really interested in. Paola made sure that I got to experience this. I was able to purchase the perfect Belgian chocolate, rather than buying the commercialised chocolates advertised. I would recommend going on a private tour with Paola as she makes sure that you are happy with your experience.

We arrived in Brussels at 2pm. We met Senna at 4pm. He gave us a personalized tour of the city’s art, architecture, food & drink. When the tour was over at 6pm, I felt smarter and more at home at a city I’ve never visited.
