Meeting point

Café du Sablon, 1000, Rue de la Régence 26, 1000 Bruxelles, Belgium

Start the Day at a Local Café

A relaxed start with coffee and conversation.

Meet at Café du Sablon, a cozy neighborhood spot. Over coffee, we’ll chat about what excites you—history, food, quiet corners—before setting off at a comfortable pace.

Take in the City or Wander into Quiet Streets

Start big or take it slow—it’s up to you.

Mont des Arts offers sweeping city views, but if a quieter street calls, we can follow that path instead. No rush—just walking, talking, and seeing where the city takes us.

A Sweet or Savory Stop?

Belgian treats, if you’re in the mood.

Fancy a bite? Maybe a golden waffle, a rich praline, or crisp shrimp croquettes. We’ll stop when the moment feels right—no pressure, just enjoying what catches our eye.

Markets, Architecture, or a Hidden Find

Explore, browse, or just soak in the atmosphere.

We might stroll through Marolles’ flea market, admire elegant Art Nouveau streets, or step into a tucked-away boutique. If something interesting pops up, there’s always time to stop.

Lunch, Whenever It Feels Right

A meal that suits the moment.

A classic Belgian bistro, a laid-back brasserie, or just frites from a legendary stand—whatever feels right. There’s time to relax, enjoy, and decide what’s next.

Afternoon Explorations—Big or Small

Culture, history, or something unexpected.

Maybe it’s the Magritte Museum, a quiet hidden courtyard, or a small gallery we pass along the way. If something sparks curiosity, we can explore—it’s all about the feel of the moment.

A Drink to End the Day, or One Last Wander

A final stop, or a last look around.

Wind down with a Trappist beer, a craft soda, or a coffee in a place that fits the mood. Or take in the sunset from Poelaert Viewpoint—a perfect way to wrap up the day.

He was an excellent host!

Sean was the best guide! It was like touring a city with your friend. So incredibly knowledgeable and NOT boring one minute. We had so much fun with Sean on our first day in Brussels. You won’t regret booking this private tour as they personalize it to your likings and interests.

Michelle Sep 2024

Our private tour of Brussels was extremely well organized and thoughtful. Even though we were dealing with jetlag, Sean kept our attention focused on the impressive architecture and historic information for the duration of the tour. We were provided with a better understanding of the City, the people and the culture which made us very comfortable to navigate Brussels on our own for the remainder of our visit. Sean provided many helpful tips on restaurants and sites to visit in Brussels and for our next stops in Antwerp and Luxembourg. Highly recommend this tour!

Senna was excellent! He listened to what we were interested in….food and seeing the most interesting parts of downtown Brussels. Knowing that he brought a sample of his Mom’s Liège waffles for us to try. Delicious. Although our flight was delayed 1 hour it was the 2.5 hour wait to clear customs that made us late for our original 10am staring time. He was happy to accommodate a later time and we ended up with the full tour despite our tardiness. Wonderful and would highly recommend.
