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.

We booked a private guided tour of Brussels and submitted a questionnaire so it could be customized. Our guide was Francis who was awesome! Timely, and completely catered to what we enjoy learning and seeing when visiting a new city. Francis was friendly, courteous and engaging! We learned so much and truly enjoyed our time with him.
