Place De La Vieille Aux Bles
Here, you will listen and meet in person Belgium's GOAT, elected by Belgians in the year 2000.
Why this fountain of a peeing boy became so important does not always make sense. While you enjoy a warm waffle, our guide will explain to you all the history beyond this mysterious boy. Despite its disappointing size, you will start to like him and also value our Belgian mentally.
Grand Place
Our guide will meet you right in front of the main gate of the City Hall. From there he will guide you around the square to describe and decode the symbols on the different facades : City Hall, King's House, House of the Dukes and many other important houses that hosted important names like Victor Hugo or Karl Marx.
Les Galeries Royales Saint-Hubert
The Saint-Hubert Galleries, opened in 1847, are among oldest covered shopping arcades, known for their elegant glass roof and historic boutiques.
Cathedral of Saints Michael and Gudule
This Cathedral is a must-visit monument during your stay in Brussels. Despite its soberness, the sculptures and the stainglasses of this bright church will amaze you. The Chair of Truth is considered to be a masterpiece of wood sculpting of the 17th century.
Mont des Arts
Walking down to the city center on the Mont-des-Arts, will be a well deserved reward. You may stop frequently to take beautiful pictures, but certainly enjoy the stairs and the Albertine Park.
Mary Chocolatier

A Good Way to Learn About Brussels and Its Culinary Delights
This was a very good tour. We tasted them all: chocolates, waffles, fries and beer. There was something for everyone. We walked around the area surrounding Grand Place and learned a lot about Brussels and its history as we went. Our guides had a good sense of humor and were just a little naughty in a good way at times. I would recommend it.

Excellent introduction to Brussels.
Started with the waffles being made fresh and delicious. Lots of history to the waffles and their making. Then on to the walking tour. Our guide was very knowledgeable and friendly. She pointed out and gave great info on so many things along the way and I’m sorry to say I forgot the names of our guide and our waffle maker.
