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 völlig problemlos. Christoph holte uns pünktlich am Hotel ab und tauchte mit uns in ein Brüssel abseits der touristischen Routen ein. Kleine inhabergeführte Geschäfte und Lokale, Galerien und Kunstprojekte. Wo kann man gut essen, gute Pralinen kaufen, wo gibt es verschiedene Biere..... Die vier Stunden vergingen wie im Flüge und wir haben von der Tour viele interessante Informationen und Eindrücke mitgenommen. Von uns gibt es auf jeden Fall ein: sehr empfehlenswert! Das 'etwas andere' Brüssel

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

Christophe est très sympa et super flexible. Je lui ai demandé une visite 4h à l’avance et il a réussit à nous trouver de charmants endroits quelque peu moins touristiques où il y avait de très bonnes prestations musicales. Juste discuter avec lui s’avere également très intéressant et une belle manière d’en apprendre plus sur la Belgique.Très sympa

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!

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!

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!
