Description
Make the most out of your stay in Brussels by discovering the best this city has to offer in a fully customizable tour! At the desired time, an experienced English-speaking professional driver will pick you up in a private vehicle ready to immerse you into the Belgian lifestyle. Your tour will start in the heart of Brussels, the Grand Place, one of the most beautiful squares in Europe. A rather odd but funny attraction at the same time is the Manneken Pis fountain. Further down, you will have the chance to admire the Église Catholique Notre-Dame-du-Sablon. The Royal Palace of Brussels and the Parc de Bruxelles are not to be missed. Take a moment to relax in the Parc du Cinquantenaire. Our drivers are not licensed to accompany you into the sights but are very knowledgeable of the places visited and will provide all the necessary historical information and their local perspective. At the end of the ride, your friendly Welcome driver will drop you off at your accommodation.

no show terrible service. Do not deserve even a one star. Left a bitter taste in my mouth not to deal with Viator anymore viator representative, try to con me to take another package cost over $1000 of dollars, and driver lied about coming. I ended up not going, because no one showed up, it was wasted time and money I am still waiting for my refund, which is taking forever
Dear traveller, we apologize for any inconvenience faced in regards to not meeting with the driver, please reach out to hello@welcomepickups.com with your transfer id so that our support team can look into your concerns and assist you. Thank you for your review.
Nothing at all memorable about this tour: we basically drove around for two hours with no set itinerary: the driver asked us several times where we’d like to go and whether we’d like to go into any of the places that he drove by (he did not offer to guide us through any of them, and any time spent touring them would be deducted from the two hour limit). Moreover, though he was supposed to pick us up at hotel, it took fifteen minutes to connect and set up meeting point because he was unable to find a parking place. Because he dropped us off 5 minutes early, the tour actually only lasted 1 hour and 40 minutes. Lastly, the driver was a little hard to understand because of his accent, and didn’t have the e depth of knowledge one would expect from a tour guide. Recommend that you not waste your money on this tour.

The driver never showed up. I called him and he said he had no assignment. I called the pick-up phone number and they never ansered. Day ruined.

We were so appreciative of this service. We were able to see so much more from someone who knew their way.
Friendliness of tour guide was a highlight. Did a great job of engaging with us while driving to key city monuments.
nice quick tour of the city. just what we wanted. stopped where we wanted for photos. traffic was slow but Jane took her time and got us to all of the highlights of Brussels
How accommodating the driver was, as I had no concrete plan as to what I wanted to see. In addition to the traditional stops, I also was fortunate enough to see an antique market. Most importantly though, I was able to find the specific souvenirs that I had been searching for since my arrival in Belgium! The only thing that I didn't notice prior to booking was that it wasn't a drive and park tour, while stops were not discouraged, I misunderstood that it was mostly a purely driving tour. Either way, Francesco more than made up for it.
