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

Our evening with Christophe was so much fun! He is so easy to talk with about Brussels or music or anything really. We walked thru a few historical sites in the St Gery square then into a local jazz bar. After a drink, we proceeded to a local tiny bar with a live jam session. Such fun artists! And a great Belgian beer selection! Several hours just flew by with meeting new people!! Thank you, Christophe! Fun local bars with great music

Christophe is een mega sympathieke gids en kent veel over de geschiedenis van Brussel. We beleefden leuke plekken van deze bruisende stad die we anders nooit ontdekt hadden. De live-muziek-formule lag wel een beetje moeilijk omdat we liever naar het verhaal van Christophe luisterden ;) Echte aanrader!

Christophe was eerst aan het peilen wat wij leuk vonden. Vier mensen met uiteenlopende muzieksmaak, dat is lastig. Zijn beland in een kleine kroeg met livemuziek in de vorm van jamsessie. Christophe was erg gezellig en vertelde ook nog e.e.a. over de geschiedenis van Brussel. Geweldig leuke avond gehad. Ik kan Christophe enorm aanraden!super leuke avond!

We came to Brussels sunday and booked the music & drinks tour just the night before. Even for short notice Christophe arrived well prepared and took us on a sightseeing tour away from the main tourist pathways – including music and drinks. Christophe was a very hospitable tour guide, sharing a lot of interesting information about Brussels history, Belgian beer and recommendations for "non-touristy"-restaurants (we could sadly use only one of them during our stay in Brussles). We finally arrived in a small pub where Christophe found a singer songwriter event performed by a couple of young musicians on acoustic guitar (we met one of them some days after in Brussels what was again very funny) - great! We would never have found this location without a local guide like Christophe. In total it was a great kick off event for our Brussels trip – we can fully recommend Christophe as local guide. He was well prepared (even on short notice), knows a lot about Brussels and is a very open personality able to make the tour interesting and entertaining – and at least he knows a lot of people as well ;) Thank you, Christophe.Funny, entertaining and interesting tour

Christophe took us through the governemental district of Brussels with interesting info on the history of Belgium. Then we visited a local pop festival with talented young local artists, of course accompanied by some beers. Last but not least Christophe took us to a small hidden away Alternative local industrial spot in Molenbeke for more live music. Big succes, and many thanks to Christophe!!

Vorab: Buchung, Kontakt mit dem Guide und Bezahlung liefen vΓΆllig problemlos. Christoph holte uns pΓΌnktlich am Hotel ab und tauchte mit uns in ein BrΓΌssel abseits der touristischen Routen ein. Kleine inhabergefΓΌhrte GeschΓ€fte und Lokale, Galerien und Kunstprojekte. Wo kann man gut essen, gute Pralinen kaufen, wo gibt es verschiedene Biere..... Die vier Stunden vergingen wie im FlΓΌge und wir haben von der Tour viele interessante Informationen und EindrΓΌcke mitgenommen. Von uns gibt es auf jeden Fall ein: sehr empfehlenswert!

Christophe is a very friendly and open guide with whom you can have some good talks over a nice beer. He really tries to make an individual tour based on your interests. We even spontaneously switched to our bikes as we all had them with us. If you spend more than one night in Brussels, make sure to do the tour in the beginning of your trip, as Christophe has many good recommendations how to spend the rest of the time. Fun and chill evening with interesting talks

We booked this tour with Christophe to kick off our stay in Brussels. Not only did Christophe provide guidance on beers, he was also incredibly well-versed in the history of the city. It was wonderful taking a walk around the less touristy areas of Brussels and learning how the city started, evolved and continues to evolve. Highly recommend this tour to anyone looking for a fun night out in Brussels. Christophe also provided us with recommendations on things to do and visit for the rest of our stay. He was absolutely phenomenal!Great tour!

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

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

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 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!

Christophe ist ein Γ€ußerst sympathischer und freundlicher Guide, der uns mit viel Leidenschaft und Fachwissen die Stadt nΓ€hergebracht hat. Er hat uns nicht nur die wichtigsten SehenswΓΌrdigkeiten gezeigt, sondern auch einige versteckte Ecken, die wir alleine sicher nie gefunden hΓ€tten. Wir waren begeistert von Christophes umfassendem Wissen – keine unserer Fragen blieb unbeantwortet, und seine ErklΓ€rungen waren immer spannend und leicht verstΓ€ndlich. Die Tour hat super viel Spaß gemacht, und wir haben BrΓΌssel 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 BrΓΌssel

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!
