Fun tour of Brussels
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. Highly recommend him!

Eric was knowledgeable, friendly, flexible, everything you would want in a tour guide. He even helped make reservations at a restaurant we wanted. Our only regret was as that we did not have more time with him.

Memorable Brussels City Tour
We had the absolute pleasure of spending an afternoon in Brussels with Eric as our guide, and we honestly couldn't have asked for a better experience. Eric showed our group of four girlfriends around the city with warmth, charm, and a real insider's knowledge of Brussels.
He took us off the beaten track to discover some hidden gems we’d never have found on our own, shared fascinating stories and insights along the way, and tailored everything so naturally to our interests. One of the highlights was a stop at a stunning Art Deco bar for a perfectly chilled beer — such a unique, atmospheric spot! He also knew exactly where to find the best Belgian chocolate, and let’s just say... we didn’t leave empty-handed!
Eric was friendly, funny, and incredibly passionate about his city. If you're visiting Brussels and want a memorable, personalised experience, we can't recommend him highly enough. Thank you, Eric, for making our day so special!
