We'll talk about our famous Abbey beers and conclude with a discussion about the recent microbreweries. You’ll taste Trappist beers, which are still brewed by monks. The Valley of the Senne, where Brussels is located, has still a spontaneous fermented beer, the Lambic. Then we will serve you a typical strong blond beer, before we end with a Belgian IPA.

Christophe hat hervorragend auf unser Zeitbudget reagiert und aus zwei Touren eine Kombination kreiert. So waren wir für die Bierverkostungen wieder durstig und der Stadtrundgang war nicht so trocken. Perfekt!Ein perfekter Ganztagesausflug!

Christophe was a great guide and we had a wonderful night exploring Brussels with him. He is very friendly and pays attention to details while you are tasting different beers and talking about them. He was very good about making accommodations for a member of our group that can't eat gluten. 5 stars for Christophe!!Very personable

Wir hatten einen ganz tollen Abend! Christoph war super freundlich, lustig und hat uns neben den Infos zur Stadt und den Bieren auch viele Anekdoten erzählt und uns urige Kneipen gezeigt!
Es lohnt sich auf jeden Fall! Wir würden sofort jederzeit wieder bei ihm buchen!

Christophe was great! Very knowledgeable about beer and history. Took us multiple places that we really enjoyed. Our last stop had jazz music! He also recommended a restaurant near by that was very good ( le pre sale). He was very patient with our rowdy, disorganized group! Overall best tour guide and tour. Thanks ChristopheLoud Lebanese and Americans

Wir hatten einen tollen Nachmittag! Christophe hat uns aufgeschlossen und super nett begrüßt. Wir sind vier Freunde (etwa 30 Jahre alt) und hatten wirklich einen lustigen und schönen Nachmittag durch seine geführte Biertour mit Verköstigung in Brüssel. Christophe hat sich viele Mühe gegeben alles in Deutsch zu erzählen. Er spricht sehr gut Deutsch!
Wir haben viel über die verschiedenen Belgischen Biere erfahren und konnten einiges probieren. Die Biere haben uns sehr gut geschmeckt. Die Tour können wir weiterempfehlen. Danke Christophe! Eine lustige und interessante Biertour

My boyfriend and I spent a lovely afternoon walking around the city and tasting beer with Christophe. He was very knowledgeable on both the city and the beer, it was brilliant hearing about the city as we walked around and Christophe even took the time to point out places that we might like to eat that evening. The app was very easy to use and so was the booking system.
We messaged Christophe before hand to ask if he could amend the itinerary to include a local chocolate shop and no only did he do this (which happened to be a brilliant more unknown one with delicious chocolate) but he also included the chocolate in one of the beer tastings.
It was a highlight of our trip, and I would recommend anyone on a short city break to include an afternoon with Christophe. A fantastic afternoon!

The beer tour with Christophe was one of the highlights of our visit to Brussels. He talked us trough the history of brewing, showed us some amazing cafés and introduced us to multiple delicious Belgian beers.

Christophe gaf ons een tour door Brussel die we niet snel zullen vergeten. Heel gemakkelijk maakte hij contact met iedereen en zorgde voor interessante insteekjes in de algemene route die we vooraf hadden afgesproken. Zo had iedereen de ervaring die het zo speciaal maakte en waardoor we he tlang nadien nog over onze eigen experience hadden.
Zeer veel dank Christophe voor de mooie ervaring en de gezellige ochtend.A new Friend!

Mijn mama en ik deden onlangs een stadswandeling met Christophe en zijne maat Roel en we waren onder de indruk van de gidsen! Hun aangename en vriendelijke manier van vertellen maakte de wandeling echt bijzonder. Ze deelden talloze interessante verhalen en leuke weetjes over de stad, vaak met grappige kwinkslagen die ons aan het lachen maakten. Bovendien was een groot deel van de wandeling in het Brussels, wat voor een authentieke en unieke ervaring zorgde. Kortom, een absolute aanrader voor iedereen die Brussel op een andere manier wil ontdekken!

Wir hatten das große Vergnügen, eine 3-stündige Tour durch Brüssel mit Christophe zu erleben, und es war einfach fantastisch! Christophe ist ein äußerst sympathischer und freundlicher Guide, der uns mit viel Leidenschaft und Fachwissen die Stadt nähergebracht hat.
Er hat uns nicht nur die wichtigsten Sehenswürdigkeiten gezeigt, sondern auch einige versteckte Ecken, die wir alleine sicher nie gefunden hätten. Wir waren begeistert von Christophes umfassendem Wissen – keine unserer Fragen blieb unbeantwortet, und seine Erklärungen waren immer spannend und leicht verständlich.
Die Tour hat super viel Spaß gemacht, und wir haben Brüssel von einer neuen Seite kennengelernt. Wer einen Guide sucht, der professionell, herzlich und kenntnisreich ist, sollte unbedingt eine Tour mit Christophe buchen. Absolute Empfehlung!Perfekte Tour durch Brüssel

We had a 6 hour layover in Brussels.
It was very easy taking the train from the airport 2 stops to Brussels Central Station where we met Christophe. He took us around the city for 3 hours giving us an overview of the history of the city, the neighborhoods of past and present, the thriving chocolate & food scenes, and entertainment scenes, and street art.Make tje most of a layover

We went by train from Amsterdam to Paris and decided to stop in Brussels for a few hours as we had never been before. Christophe meet us at the train station and offered to show us how to store our luggage, but we had figured it out ourselves. We then went on an amazing walking tour with Christophe seeing a good amount of old sites, churches, plazas, shopping areas and more! Christophe was very knowledgeable about the history of Brussels. He then dropped us back at the train station. Highly recommend!Excellent and fun tour with Christophe!

Spent a very nice morning with Christophe, learnt so much about Brussels, Belgium & the EU. Saw all the sights as well as some off the tourist track like the secluded area where the River Seine still runs. Managed to also have time at the end to sample some choice Belgian beers. Great tour with Christophe

Christophe was a wonderful guide for our family: friendly and very flexible in planning and reacting to different needs and interests. He had answers to all the different questions of all our group members (age 15-87) and showed us a lot more than just the classical highlights.

Christophe did an amazing job making my wife and I feel connected to the community. He's spent much of his life in Brussels and was able to seamlessly adjust the itinerary to suit our needs and wants as the night went on, lending his deep historical and cultural knowledge along the way.
We wanted to learn more about the music and beer in Brussels, so Christophe took us to multiple places where we could try historic beer and listen to a variety of music.
Christophe also shared a wealth of practical knowledge useful to travelers: He pointed out places to avoid, as well as places to visit and things to keep on the lookout for.
Overall, I highly recommend an evening with Christophe.Flexibe, Knowledgeable and Fun

Christophe led a tour of four people. He was very knowledgeable about Brussel’s history and infused the tour with many details. We got to see many things the average tourist never sees. He was very considerate and thoughtful and brought us back to our hotel’s location. We would take a tour with him again!
All the best, Susan,Steven, Joanne and FrankInteresting and in-depth tour

We had a great time with Christophe. He easily mixed the cultural in with in local Belgian beers so we had a nice relaxing cultural tour of the old city center. His knowledge of local culture and customs as well as the history was a real. He also was able to show us some aspects that many tourists never see. We highly recommend Christophe as a great guide choice.Fun time in old Brussels

Christophe's off the beaten path tour of Brussels was a wonderful way for us to start our visit to town. He met us promptly at our hotel, and we started off on a four-hour tour, beginning at Grand Place and heading out of the tourist areas and walking through interesting villages, viewing beautiful old buildings, church, markets, canals, gardens and more.
He provided very interesting information and history of Brussels. We had a beautiful day for our walking tour. We stopped a at pub for some Belgium beer tasting, sitting outside chatting, people watching, and taste testing various beers.
Highly recommend Christophe for touring Brussels.Wonderful walking tour with Christophe

More about me
A Belgian born local I moved to Brussels 20 years ago. And I've surely not regret it! Today I still love this diverse city more than ever: to go to concert, to taste beers with friends or just to walk through the historical streets. At a youth organization I started first organizing tours for our trainees. Later I became a Greeter - a local who shows his city to tourists - and discovered that guiding people is what I really love to do: meeting people, taking the through the city, learning them about the history and the local life, having a drink,... Damn, what a great job! Yes, because now I am a professional guide, combining my passion for history with my presentation skills as a journalist. See you on tour!
