Brussels with Christophe
We spent a very enjoyable couple of hours with Christophe as he showed us some corners of Brussels that are not always seen by visitors. He was friendly, responsive to questions, and very knowledgeable.

Wonderful Informative & Entertaining Tour
The Urban Jungle Tour is a Must Do!! Christophe is a wonderful guide & we learned SOOO much history about Brussels which is so relevant to the city that exists today. He gave us a full sweep of Molenbeek, showing us old buildings and new architecture projects in the area that are STUNNING! He's so knowledgeable & very engaging & entertaining. Give yourself the opportunity to step outside of the usual tourist areas & learn more about the Beautiful city of Brussels! You will not be disappointed!!

The real side of Brussels with Christophe
Our tour with Christophe was the highlight of our 4 nights in Brussels. We visited all the spots Christophe describes in the tour info and it was such a unique and interesting experience. The canal area and Molenbeck were fabulous to walk around and hear the history that Christophe showed us. He way he explained the history to the present of these areas was great and he really took the time to make the tour very memorable indeed. We wished we had booked him for the whole day instead of just 3 hours. I would highly recommend this tour with Christophe to get away from the touristic crowds and noise of the old city....especially for visitors staying more than a day or 2 in Brussels. Christophe told us the best places to eat and shop and the other areas that would be worth a visit over our 4 days. We have taken his recommendations on board and explored all these areas as well. He recommended where to eat for the best (and more affordable), local Belgian cuisine and also gave us some advice on the various areas for day trips from Brussels. Well worth every minute with Christophe. Sarah and David (from Sydney, Australia)
