Amazing tour!!
This tour was absolutely amazing and probably my favorite part of my whole trip! I had such a fun time with my guide, Tiago, who was wonderful! He was very knowledgeable, kind, and made great recommendations-both on the day of the tour and for the rest of my stay in Brussels. The chocolate was incredible and I really appreciated seeing so many parts of Brussels I would never have found by myself. A really wonderful experience, I highly recommend it!

The sweeter side of Brussels
Although we had the most troublesome start imaginable due to my late arrival - me not knowing about Brussels' traffic and parking situation, the tour and time with Mickaël were exceptional. Mickaël was very nice, understanding, and with every step and word, you could feel his deep love for Brussels on the one hand but also chocolate on the other. He showed the places where locals go and which provide you with real treats as well as being great company while walking around the city. I would always recommend having a tour with him and letting him show you his idea of Brussels.
Thank you for this very entertaining Sunday, and I hope to meet you again in the future.
