Great history Lesson and Tour

Eric did a great job, leading us to view the whole city of Brussels and started the history lesson. He fielded many questions and had to listen to our stories, but ultimately we felt so good about the city and needed to try out their beers , fries, and chocolates, all that's left is the waffles. Thank you Eric, we enjoyed your tour.

Highly Recommend, right length and pace!

Very mild walking Tour of some FANTASTIC historical areas of the city, with great photo opportunities and an experienced guide! The spots you visit are iconic and our guide, Asefeh, was knowledgeable, personable and accomodative of our many questions. This was better than I had expected and now we will spend the rest of our day going back to immerse ourselves in the areas we we introduced to and the shops she recommended. We are having an excellent Belgium waffle right now, before checking out the museums and sampling some chocolates and beers!!! Highly recommend this tour. Just the right amount of time!

First thing to do

Our first time in Brussels and our guide Tiago started us off with the best tips, places to see and eat. The history of Belgium and Brussels to help us understand where we are was very helpful and insightful to immerse ourselves in the culture.
