Fietstocht door Brussel: Highlights & de minder betreden paden

Booked a Brussels tour with this firm through Chase Travel and Viator, and the morning of the tour, rain chances increased, before and during the tour (scheduled to run from 10-1:30). I called Chase and they called the firm and the tour guide said it would not rain until noon and the weather would be “manageable” so they refused a refund. That turned out not to be true. It started raining lightly about 11:15. It’s now noon, still sprinkling, and roads are all wet. The forecast currently says rain is likely until about 1:30, the entirety of the tour. I’m not comfortable navigating this city’s streets if they are wet at all. It’s one thing if you’re local and used to these conditions—but we’re all tourists! Not happy in the least with this firm’s response—you could have easily made an exception. What would it have cost you, maybe 15-20 euro profit? At best, it’s poor customer service. At worst, negligence.

Genuine respect and thanks for our guide, a master-storyteller, who unfolded Brussels, really in front of our eyes, as a beautiful melting pot of influences and cultures. Never seen our own capital from this marvellous point of view: how its identity was shaped through its geographical and cultural history. And all of this in a blissful quiet and varied biketour.

Philip was very knowledgeable about his city and country. He was proud to show us so many of the aspects of Brussels, not just the “pretty” aspects. We went to different areas where he told us about the history, future, and way of life; then and now. The stop at a place for a beverage was a treat as they had locally made sodas! I would highly recommend this tour.

Excellent experience. Philippe took great care of us and made sure everyone stayed together. The hidden gems were very interesting - would highly recommend.

A must-do bike ride to discover Brussels in great, fun, varied, and friendly conditions. Thanks to our guide Philippe for this moment of cultural quality! Brigitte

Very interesting cultural tour that is out of the ordinary.

Philippe, our friendly guide, helped us make sense of our first walking tour of Brussels by connecting geography to history, economics to sociology, culture, and architecture, in a perfectly smooth and safe bike route through the lower town, the center, and the upper town, mixing in anecdotes, historical facts, and current events in a friendly and relaxed atmosphere, punctuated by a little "convivial drink" on the parvis of St. Gilles... a must-do!!!

Fantastic tour, highly recommended! Our guide Philippe, personable, empathetic, and very well-read, led us to wonderful, hidden places that we would never have discovered on our own.

The tour was very diverse and geared to any level of rider. The guide did a great job of weaving together the important historic moments of Brussels story

This tour was awesome. We biked for approximately 9 miles and had a fantastic time. Andrea was an awesome guide. We felt safe the whole time. She navigated the busy streets with ease and we saw some of the truly hidden gems of the city. We learned a lot about the culture and history. There is so much to see. If Andrea gives you a recommendation, you should take it. She recommended the best ice cream, waffles, frites and chocolate around!!
