Overview

We’re sure you’ve got a Brussel’s bucket list to tick off during your visit, so why not get one of our Brussel’s hosts to help you out? Explore some of the city’s top attractions and discover a few hidden gems only a local would know about. Venture into the Old Town’s inner squares for a lager, waffle or frites - or all three - or, stop by a traditional brasserie or hole-in-the-wall restaurant for a lazy lunch. Lose yourself in the city as you navigate small neighborhoods around the city, with your host right there to tell you all about them! Within 24 hours after booking you'll receive a short questionnaire about your personality and interests. Based on your responses, you'll be assigned a like-minded host. Your host will communicate with you directly to suggest an itinerary to help you discover what makes the city unique. You will also agree on a meeting time and place. Your itinerary is flexible, so during the experience, you can always change your mind about what you want to do.
