While tasting our beers in 3 different bars, we'll explain you about the history, the evolution and the brewing process: from the origins back in the antiquity and the expansion through Europe during the Middle Ages.
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.

We had a fantastic afternoon with Christophe! He met us right on time and we enjoyed three local places with a great variety of beer to try. Christophe is extremely knowledgeable and can adjust based on group interests. We were excited to try several Belgian varieties that we hadn’t known and we learned a ton. Christophe is a wonderful person and makes the time fly! Definitely book with him if able!Perfect Beer Extravaganza

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!
Vielen Dank für einen tollen Abend!
Ein sehr lustiger und informativer Abend

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. We enjoyed hanging out with Christophe and would most definitely recommend it to anyone else!Highlight of our trip!

We had a lovely walk around Brussels with Christophe.
He clearly knows a lot about the city and is proud to live there. He showed us the main tourist sites plus a few places we would probably not have found ourselves. He was happy to adjust the tour if we wished and left us at a place near to our hotel with plenty of restaurants to choose from.Great tour

We love private touring with locals in order to get an immediate feel for a new destination and to get oriented for exploring on our own. We have been fortunate to participate in many tours on our travels. Christophe fulfilled all of our expectations. A familiarity with the history and stories of a location are essential… but an ability to adapt and address the specific interests of a visitor distinguish a host from a tour guide. Christophe is a wonderful host whose enthusiasm for his home city and its stories is obvious. The tour was an extended conversation in English and French rather than a scripted recital. We would highly recommend Christophe to anyone looking for an enthusiastic and knowledgeable introduction to Brussels and Belgium. Beautiful Brussels

Had a perfect day exploring Brussels. Christophe showed us a unique view of his city that we would never have experienced on our own. His tour would be the perfect way to start a stay in Brussels or as was our case, having a limited time there. Christophe is a great guide

Christophe heeft mega veel kennis en passie voor zijn stad, en neemt je mee naar bijzondere plekjes waar niet iedereen komt. Zeker een aanrader! Absolute aanrader

Christophe was absolutely fabulous! He gave us a detailed tour that felt like exploring Brussels with a long-time friend rather than a formal guide. His warm, personable approach and infectious enthusiasm for the city made our experience truly special. We particularly loved when he showed us his own neighborhood, adding personal stories that brought the area to life. An unexpected highlight was stopping at a local pub to sample Belgian beers - a thoughtful surprise that wasn't part of the official tour. Christophe's knowledge is impressive, but it's his genuine love for Brussels and his ability to relate to visitors that sets him apart. His upbeat energy is contagious, making our time in Brussels all the more enjoyable. If you want to see the real Brussels through the eyes of someone who clearly adores this city, Christophe is your perfect guide!Brussels through a local's passionate eyes

We had a great tour of Brussels with Christopher. He was fun, knowledgeable and super helpful. We had a very warm spring day and the crowds were challenging, but Christophe managed to navigate our tour so we still saw all we wanted in Brussels and learned a lot.

Our family of four just got back from a tour of Brussels with Christophe. This was a day excursion from Paris for our family. We have two kids 10 and 8. We wanted to see the main highlights of Brussels. Christophe did a great job showing us around and keeping our kids engaged and enjoying the tour. We would highly recommend a tour with Christophe!!!Brussels with Christophe

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

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!
