Reviews from guests about our tours and locals
"Eric was a delightful guide to Brussels and its chocolate joys! He knows his stuff and exudes enthusiasm for finding the small and special chocolate shops that a novice might overlook. We especially loved the innovation and unexpected flavors we tried…pink chocolate and pralines with basil in them…delicious and who knew? We thoroughly enjoyed the time we spent with Eric and recommend him without reservation."
"Eric is a great tour guide! We met him in the center of Brussels and spent three-plus hours with him, hearing about its history and present-day personality. Eric is especially knowledgeable about the history and culture of the city, sharing many stories and details that made it “come alive.” He was very generous with his time, spending a bit more than the allotted amount with us to make sure we saw everything! If you want to hear about something very special to him, ask about the Ommegang! 😊"
"Seriously, Eric is such an expert in Dutch history, art, architecture and culture. We spent a wonderful day in Bruges together. He knew where to lead me to avoid crowds of tourists ("they will all go that way so we'll go this way") I loved that and it was great for taking photos of the beautiful, charming city. He is attentive, fun, caring and friendly, besides his incredible knowledge. The perfect guide. Don't hesitate to book with him"
When you hit the road and land in a new city like Brussels, there's an exciting way to dive into its soul: personalized local tours. Forget the typical touristy routes – these tours are like having a local friend show you around all the cool spots.
Imagine having someone who lives and breathes Brussels spill its secrets. That's what local guides bring to the table. They know the hidden alleys, the best bites, and stories that never made it to the guidebooks. Whether you're into munching through food tours, wandering the city's streets, or going off the beaten path, a local guide hooks you up with a private tour that's authentically Brussels.
The best part? These tours are all about you. No herding in big groups or rushing through places you're not interested in. With private tours, you're the boss. Whether it's snapping pics at iconic landmarks, diving into history, or checking out the art scene, the tour is tuned to your vibes at your tempo.
But it doesn't stop at city limits. Day trips let you escape the urban jungle and explore nearby wonders. And if you're just setting foot in Brussels, kickstart tours give you a taste of everything. Think of it as a crash course in Brussels awesomeness, guided by a local who knows the city like the back of their hand.
So, next time you're in Brussels, ditch the ordinary. Grab a local tour and unlock the city's real magic – the stories, flavors, and places that make it uniquely Brussels. Get ready to explore like a local!

"Yes, Asefeh is a perfect guide. She speaks great English, is intelligent, kind and passionate about her city. She shared engaging stories of the history and culture of Belgium. She answered all of my questions and tailored the experience exactly the way a professional guide should do. She managed our time perfectly and I felt like I got the entire feel for Brussels. She will give any recommendation you need. Hire her. She's perfect."
"Tiago gave us a kickstart tour of Brussels. We found him to be knowledgeable, witty, and very interesting. We loved the tour, and wish we could have spent more time with him. If you take a tour with him, be sure to ask him about his master’s thesis. PS His English was great!"
"My wife and I took Elodie for a beer tour. She must have a PhD in beer. She knew it all. Additionally, she was an excellent conversationalist and shared many interesting insights into the Belgium psyche with us. We would book her again just for the conversation."
"We had a blast with Cristophe. He has a great personality and knows so much about Brussels. He took us to the classic buildings and points of interest that you need to see when you visit Brussels, but then also took us to unique little gems that we would have never been able to find on our own. For example, he took us to all three of the “P“ statues and also to a small part of the canal that still exists that used to go through the center of Brussels. We had a great time and would highly recommend him. "
"Eric is a true expert in Brussels. He has great insight, great wit and really listened to our questions and added in a new venue based on my love of Art Deco. The whole 3 hours with the added hidden gems was better than expected and I can’t thank him enough. Finished off with a cracking waffle! No hesitation in recommending him at all especially with this being my first visit to Brussels and I can’t wait to come back. "
"Tiago was fantastic, so personable, so engaging and so knowledgable on his adoptive home town. I would highly recommend booking a tour with him, we leaned so much and had an absolute blast."
"Marie did a great job showing our family around Brussels. She is very knowledgeable, friendly, and easy to talk to. We had a wonderful time and learned a lot. "
