How your day could unfold
A flexible, unscripted experience designed entirely around your interests. Your host will adapt the day based on what excites you mostWhat you’ll do
Your trip to Brussels is incomplete until you’ve tried a local brew - or a few. Don’t worry; you’re in good hands with one of our beer-loving local Brussels hosts, who will take you on a personalized experience of a few of the city’s best brew houses.
Let us know your vibe, be it trendy microbreweries, traditional taverns, or underground beer cellars, or visit a Belgian abbey and sip something brewed by monks. Then, with your host alongside, you’ll weave (not stagger) between spots where you can enjoy Lambic, Saison, Dubbel, and Witbier and maybe learn more about the history of beer brewing in Belgium, the Trappist beers, and the city’s beer culture.
With over 1100 original Belgian beers waiting for you to discover, it’s impossible (and not something we’d recommend) to try and get through them all in 3 hours. Still, your host will be able to show you a few that will tickle your tastebuds!
Along the way, you can enjoy some snacks, be they Belgian Frites or a cheese board to share, and get recommendations for more great places to sip your way through a few more beers during the rest of your trip.

The guide was very knowledgeable about my host country’s culture. I felt safe the whole time and knew that I could ask any questions. Showed me to the unique bars that I wouldn’t have known about otherwise. I am very grateful for this experience.

Andrea was our guide, and he was very knowledgeable about the history and architecture of Brussels. We tasted a few Belgian beers and walked around the city center.

This tour was so fun and really gave us some insight into the city's history which made us appreciate the architecture and art within the city of Brussels. It was a bonus that it was over beers that are native to Brussels. Our guide was so knowledgeable, not only about the beers but also about the city, and he was very fun to be around and even gave us dinner recommendations and ensured that our travel back to our hotel was safe and easy. 10/10 recommend!

Thanks so much for the wonderful tour of Brussels. Walid was amazing with little tidbits about the city that I do not think a big tour would have the time to point out. We maneuvered into tiny alleys into the coolest little bars. Our relaxing tour was more like hanging with a friend then being dragged behind a person holding an umbrella. Highly recommend.
