Brussels was a truly amazing experience. Sean is a fantastic tour guide and an interesting, entertaining, fun person to be with. He showed us all the major interests in Brussels, as well as the small things that would normally be skipped. Brussels has so much to offer so much history and this tour really did the city justice. Sean is easy to talk to, conscious of your needs and able to pivot and change directions should you suddenly want something different included in your tour. We highly recommend the tour itself and Sean as your guide.

We thoroughly enjoyed our time exploring Brussels with Sean. He was energetic, intelligent, interesting, and delightful to spend the day with. He gave us information and insights we would’ve never known on our own. He brought Brussels to life for us and showed us nooks and crannies not normally discovered. We feel we have a new friend with our guide Sean. We highly recommend this tour.

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 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!

Your questions, answered
Is this a traditional tour?
No. Our experiences are unscripted and designed around you. Instead of following a rigid itinerary, your host will plan a personalized journey that feels natural, immersive, and unique.
How does personalization work?
After booking, you’ll complete a short questionnaire about your interests and travel style. We’ll match you with the best host who will tailor the experience to you. You'll have the opportunity to chat with them before the experience and agree on a plan.
What if I don’t know what I want to explore?
That’s completely fine! Select an experience theme or a flexible discovery experience, and after booking, answer a few questions so your host can design the perfect experience for you.
Will I know my itinerary in advance?
Yes, you will have the opportunity to chat with your host directly and agree on a plan for the day. However, there’s always room for spontaneity and local surprises!
Can I adjust the plan on the day?
Of course! Your experience is flexible, so you can explore at your own pace and make changes along the way.
Are food and drinks included, or do I need to pay separately?
Unless stated otherwise, food and drinks are not included. Your host will take you to great spots where you can order what you like and pay as you go.
Do I need to pay for the host's food or drinks?
No, if you and your host decide to stop for food or drinks during your experience, you don’t need to cover your host’s expenses—your host will take care of their own.
Is this experience physically demanding?
We can tailor the experience to be as active or relaxed as you like—just let us know what suits you best!
Can I change the meeting place?
Yes, you will be in touch with your host before your experience, and you can agree on a different meeting point with them. Your host can meet you anywhere central that’s convenient.
Can my host meet me at my accommodation?
Hotel meet-ups are available upon request in central areas. If you're staying outside the city, your host will recommend the best meeting spot and guide you with directions.
