The trip is very rushed; you are in Brussels for 1 hour and a half and you have to run to the next city; I definitely do not recommend it. There is no time to get to know either of the two cities.
This was a full-day tour from Paris to Brussels and Bruges. It’s a long day, but well worth the time. Our tour guide, Cristina, was absolutely amazing! She provided many interesting details about the different cities (alternating between Spanish and English!), and kept a close eye on us to make sure we were well taken care of. The optional chocolate tasting was informative and tasty, though a bit pricey. The bus was quite comfortable, and there were regularly-scheduled breaks where we could stretch our legs, buy snacks and/or use the facilities. All in all, a wonderful experience, and I highly recommend this tour!
Cristina is lovely, a kiss, excellent service! My wife Berenice and I enjoyed it a lot
Excellent, everything perfect, congratulations on your guide
Daniela is very patient and very kind
Excellent service, Christina and Antonio were incredible and very detailed during the tour. I would take it again without hesitation
I thought that the guide Alicia was very attentive and very professional in her work. Very good explanations about the places we visited. The bad thing is that the Atomium is seen from the bus and you miss stopping for 5 minutes to take photos of it.
Christina was fabulous! She was knowledgeable and kind. We were on a bilingual tour and my family was the only ones that spoke English. Christina explained everything in both languages and made it a point to include everyone. The tour was a great experience for all! We were blessed to have two drivers which made you feel safe since it was such a long trip! Well worth it!! Thank you!
The tour was incredible, super punctual, the bus was impeccable, our guide was Cristina who is very kind, she explained everything super clearly and gives you just the right amount of time for each activity, we loved it. P.S. Send Cristina to Mexico for more tours.
It was a very good experience, the guide (Daniela) did a great job so that we enjoyed it to the fullest, and it was 100% worth it!
