Great City Tour

Published on May, 2025

Eric was an exceptional patient accommodating gentleman. Took pictures for us. Lingered with us when we did and didn’t complain. Took extra time to take us to other spots not included in the tour.

Amazing guide, very nice,...

Published on May, 2025

A+ Private Walking Tour

Published on Apr, 2025

This was one of the best private walking tours we have taken. Our fun and personable guide Tiago was full of interesting anecdotes about all of the places we saw. He included information about the art, architecture and culture of Brussels’ historic center. Our three hours passed so quickly and we were even gifted Belgian chocolates at the end of the tour. This experience with Tiago was A+

Private Tour Brussels with Shanthuru

Published on Apr, 2025

As a group of 20 people we had very interesting hours with Shanthuru. At all times he was explaining interesting facts and reacting very spontanously on our wishes and questions. Thank you for having a great time.

Tour of Brussels

Published on Apr, 2025

Tiago was an excellent guide. Very knowledgeable about history, architecture and current trends. And he was very pleasant and enthusiastic. He showed us all the highlights of the old city and gave lots of good recommendations on places to get the best chocolates, beer, entertainment as well as restaurants. We really enjoyed his tour!
