Our time in Brussels was made truly unforgettable thanks to Eric. From the moment we met him, his passion for his city was clear. He was incredibly patient, kind, and full of local knowledge that gave us an experience far beyond what we could have found on our own. Eric introduced us to the best of Brussels' food and drink—places we never would have discovered without him. From the crispiest fries to decadent waffles and artisanal chocolate, every stop was a hidden gem loved by locals. We appreciated that he steered us away from tourist traps and into the heart of the city’s culinary culture, all while supporting small, local businesses. What stood out most was Eric’s generosity with his time and spirit. He didn’t rush us, answered all of our questions, and made sure we had a truly immersive experience. We left not only full and happy, but with a much deeper appreciation for Brussels and its people. If you're visiting Brussels, do yourself a favor and book a tour with Eric—you won't regret it!The Perfect Guide to Brussels

Eric was knowledgeable, friendly, flexible, everything you would want in a tour guide. He even helped make reservations at a restaurant we wanted. Our only regret was as that we did not have more time with him.

We did a chocolate and history tour of Brussels with Eric. He was very knowledgeable and fun. We were able to take our time tasting chocolate, browsing and purchasing the chocolate, and he always took time to answer questions. All four of us felt we had a better experience with a more intimate tour compared to a walking tour with several groups of people. I highly recommend Withlocals.Highly recommend a tour Withlocals

We had the absolute pleasure of spending an afternoon in Brussels with Eric as our guide, and we honestly couldn't have asked for a better experience. Eric showed our group of four girlfriends around the city with warmth, charm, and a real insider's knowledge of Brussels. He took us off the beaten track to discover some hidden gems we’d never have found on our own, shared fascinating stories and insights along the way, and tailored everything so naturally to our interests. One of the highlights was a stop at a stunning Art Deco bar for a perfectly chilled beer — such a unique, atmospheric spot! He also knew exactly where to find the best Belgian chocolate, and let’s just say... we didn’t leave empty-handed! Eric was friendly, funny, and incredibly passionate about his city. If you're visiting Brussels and want a memorable, personalised experience, we can't recommend him highly enough. Thank you, Eric, for making our day so special!Memorable Brussels City Tour

Eric was knowledgable and enjoyed the subject. Good company too. I had a lot of questions as I already knew quite a lot about the chyronology of the battle - or thought I did ! Seeing the topography and putting the chronology into context was a salutary experience. Extraordinary to visit there alone. Nevermind the main battle site. Still can't quite fathom the French obsession (a costly one) with Hougoumont. A bit late to ask Napoleon now. Well worth the time spent looking at the whole site and gleaning Eric's knowledge to complement my perception.Ask Eric Anything

Merci encore une fois, Éric, pour ta superbe visite sur l’Art Nouveau. J’étais déjà très heureuse que j’en ai trouvé une, car au départ cela paraissait sans chance malgré le fait que Bruxelles est la capitale de ce style. Pendant plus de 3 heures on a parcouru plusieurs endroits tout en se déplaçant en moyens de transport en commun et vu une belle quantité de splendides maisons Art Nouveau, des témoins éloquents de leur temps. En étant une passionnée de ce style, je n’arrêtais pas de prendre de photos jusqu’à ce que mon portable ne se soit éteint juste devant la dernière maison :). Qu’est-ce que le temps passe vite quand on est en bonne compagnie et on apprend beaucoup de choses intéressantes !Merci Eric

Eric nos recibió en un día especial para la ciudad vestido con un traje tradicional; nos sumergió en un paseo histórico por el centro de Bruselas, haciendo referencia no solamente a datos históricos sinó también a leyendas, acompañandolo todo con notas de humor que nos hicieron reir un buen rato. Destacar que Eric respondió con creces las preguntas relacionadas con temas históricos y políticos que nuestro hijo mayor hizo, con un dominio espectacular de la historia, no sólo de Bruselas, sinó también de Bélgica y de Europa. También comentar que Eric nos recomendó un buen número de sitios donde comer o tomar alguna cosa, tanto locales turísticos como sitios más autóctonos. Nos llevamos un gran recuerdo de Bruselas y de Eric. Mil gracias por el paseo; nos acordaremos siempre de la ciudad. Mil gracias por el paseo; nos acordaremos siempre de la ciudad.
