I booked a sightseeing tour in Brussels and the guide (Mariana) never showed up. Nobody replied to my messages nor to my support requests. I stood up 8 other people because of unprofessional service of this platform. Never using it again!The guide never showed up!

Esteph was awesome. We had wandered around Brussels twice before and enjoyed it. We had a tight time window and thought, why not get some local insight. We will never see Brussels the same again, the tour was awesome!!! We were pressed for time, that was a bummer, I honestly think we’ll hire her again when we have more time. I will recommend her to everyone.Quick Brussels 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

Very trustworthy tour guide company, we booked with Mariana but she couldn’t make it. Quick communication and she got Shanthuru to replace her. He was wonderful, a very interesting and knowledgeable guide. We saw a few tourist highlights but preferred seeing some of the other areas of Brussels and learning about the history. So worth it, he took us to a couple of areas that gave us the beginnings of Brussels, changes made throughout to where it is today, as well as his favorite spots away from all the masses. Thank you Mariana and Shanthuru! Great Intro to Brussels!

This was our first experience with a “WithLocals tour”. Christophe was great and easy communication ahead with our delayed train. It was nice to maneuver the city in a private tour without a large group. Personal tour

Met de gids Christophe Brussel ontdekken was fantastisch ! Hij was zeer goed geïnformeerd over de geschiedenis en bezienswaardigheden van de stad en kon ons veel interessante feiten en verhalen vertellen. Ook was Christophe erg vriendelijk en nam de tijd om al onze vragen te beantwoorden. We hebben echt genoten van de tour en zouden het zeker aanbevelen aan diegene die Brussel willen verkennen op een leuke manier. Bedankt voor een geweldige ervaring!!!

We had a great experience with Mariana, an excellent way to kick off our trip. Mariana shared interesting information and stories that really highlight Brussels history. We visited several well known and lesser known sights, making the tour feel unique and personal based on interests communicated before the tour began. An hour and a half is prefect to get a nice overview without being too overwhelming; Mariana kept a good pace without long periods of standing. I would highly recommend a tour with Mariana to start your trip.Wonderful experience - Kickstart tour

Simply put, Mariana was wonderful. She was flexible with timing and gauged the tour/ what she showed us according to our interests including be able to recommend more things to do, places to eat etc than we could fit in. Particularly useful for my partner who is vegetarian. We saw so many more details, and have a greater appreciation for the city because of the knowledge and stories she could share. We highly recommend her for your tour of Brussels, book her and you won’t be disappointed. Amazing tour

Die Stadtführung mit Christophe war sehr interessant und kurzweilig. Er spricht sehr gut Deutsch. Wir waren 4 Erwachsene und 3 Kinder. Aus den 90 Minuten sind gute 2 Stunden geworden. Zwischendurch haben wir mit ihm über dies und das und Gott und die Welt gesprochen. Christophe ist super nett und hat uns unterhaltsame Geschichten über Brüssel erzählt. Auch einige Dinge, die man nicht in normalen Stadtführern zu lesen bekommt. Wenn wir nochmal nach Brüssel kommen, würden wir sicher noch eine weitere Tour mit ihm machen - dann in einer anderen Ecke der Stadt. Vielen Dank!Tolle, informative und lockere Führung

Schon im Vorfeld hatten wir Kontakt mit Christophe und dabei unsere Erwartungen formuliert. Wegen Zugausfall kamen wir deutlich später in Brüssel an. Christophe bot daraufhin an, uns am Hotel abzuholen und dort den 1,5 stündigen Rundgang zu starten. Daraus wurden dann mehr als 2 Stunden. Er kam auch noch mit zu einem Bier in einem schönen Lokal. Wir 4 Gäste fühlten uns gut informiert und unterhalten. Wir fühlten uns wohl mit Christophe

Tiago's amazing stories and knowledge of Brussels were surpassed only by his infectious enthusiasm which he shared during our tour. The stories were fascinating. Sometimes emotional and often funny, Tiago seemed as moved by them as we were. Tiago's optimism and passion for his job made us leaving the tour wanting to remain friends with our loveable guide. Whether it is beer, chocolate, or historical sites you are after, I would highly recommend enlisting Tiago to be the one to show you this beautiful city.Great guide. Great guy.

Mariana war sehr offen und hat uns einen interessanten Rundgang durch Brüssel beschert. Es war ein optimaler Mix aus Architektur, belgischem Essen und ein bißchen Kinoluft durften wir auch schnuppern. Am eindruksvollsten waren Les Halles de St. Gery - der alte Kanal und das darunterliegende Gemäuer mit dem Obelisken. Zum Abschluss noch in ein sehr gutes Bierlokal in der Nähe des Maenneken Piss! Sie hat uns richtig Lust gemacht auf mehr Brüssel, danke Mariana:-)Wunderbare Erfahrung

Heerlijk ontspannen met Christoph door Brussel gelopen. Vertelde precies genoeg voor ons groepje bleef niet in de oude jaartallen hangen maar gewoon precies goed dat je wat over de geschiedenis van Brussel weet. Christoph is een gezellige gids, goede prater en heeft een goede dosis humor. Zeer zeker aan te bevelen !! Wanneer je vooraf aan je reis iets wil weten is hij ook bereid om eea voor je uit te zoeken en mee te denken. Kortom With Locals is ons erg goed bevallen en zeker voor herhaling vatbaar!!Super !!

I took a kick-up tour with Elodie, she took me around to see the can’t-miss spots in Brussels’ city centre. Elodie met me up on time then we started exploring Brussels like a local, Elodie knows all the shortcuts and hidden paths where the normal tour guides might miss. She was also very lively and knowledgeable, even though I was on a solo trip it did not feel uncomfortable at all. Would recommend to anyone visitting Brussels.Bruxelles like a local

Wir waren mit vier Erwachsenen mit Christophe in Brüssel unterwegs und die zwei Stunden vergingen wie im Flug. Christophe spricht gut deutsch und ist ein sehr sympathischer Guide. Er hat uns auf einer ganz persönlichen Tour mit Humor sowie detailliertem Wissen durch Brüssel geführt. Durch seine netten Geschichten hat die Tour etwas länger gedauert, aber das war kein Problem. Wir waren total begeistert, gerne wieder.Sehr netter Guide, der sehr gut deutsch spricht

Wij, ervaren steden bezoekers, hebben een rondleiding van Christophe gehad en wat leuk zeg! Van tevoren leuk (mail) contact gehad waarbij ik wensen aan kon geven. Wij waren al eerder in Brussel geweest, een van ons zelfs al drie keer...diegene zei nu veel meer van de stad te weten. Christophe weet veel, is gezellig en weet ook leuke anekdotes dus een flinke dosis gezonde humor kregen wij erbij... mochten wij ooit nog een keer naar Brussel gaan, en ws gaat dat gebeuren want wat een leuke stad, dan hopen we dat Christophe weer tijd heeft voor ons. Super leuk, gewoon doen!
