Fantastic tour with a great guide!

Published on May, 2025

We were in a group of about a dozen people with our family. The tour met and exceeded my expectations for the following reasons: The - content - historical references - level of details - pace - amount of stops and - understandability of the guide was just right. Our guide - the lady from Vienna - was great, thank you for the very interesting and informative experience. I can recommend this tour to anyone who tries to understand the story of Brussels.
