Self-Guided Walking Tour Along Brussels Comic Book Route

Very nice discovery of the Comic Strip route! The audio guide is very pleasant and allows you to discover Brussels differently, through the iconic characters and works of Belgian comics. A fun, cultural, and interesting visit, for comic book enthusiasts as well as for visitors who wish to explore the city.

Interesting information about the different cartoon carcters. Pity that there is not collectibles of all the caracters mentoined in the tour.

THANKS for the detailed info and precise locations, I would have liked to see more pictures.

This was horrible. There were no directions. You had to walk and rely on a map the entire time. The way European cities were designed, they are in circles and streets are branching off with no rhyme or reason. After several of the cartoon murals we quit. I’d love to get my money bank on this one. To listen to the headphones, looking down at the map, walking, avoiding traffic, literally gave us a headache.

We really enjoyed this activity that you can do at your own pace. The app is easy to use and it is simple to make sure that you are in the right place with the illustrations. It's a great way to get an overview of the comic strips of Brussels.

The tour gave good information about each stop. I found the directions to travel from place to place a little hard to follow but overall thought it was a good value.

I signed up for this tour on a free day during our Brussels visit, and I am very glad I did! My husband wasn’t able to go with me, and as I am an active senior I headed out on my own adventure. I enjoyed it much more than I anticipated… it was part scavenger hunt, part fascinating history (of comics, artists, and the cultural climate of the time), and part art appreciation. Bonus elements included exercise and sightseeing down streets I would not have otherwise explored. I highly recommend this tour, it was great value and a highlight of my stay in Brussels!

The stories about each mural made it a lot more interesting than just seeing the murals. This is especially true for non-EU visitors who may never have heard of any of the comics or the artists. While the map is good, it wasn’t always easy to follow and we somehow missed a couple murals. Be sure to keep the map to be sure you’re going the right way.

I did the self-guided walking tour along the comic route in Brussels with my children and we were all delighted. The track is very easy to do, even with children, and everything was clear and pleasant to run. It was especially nice that my children took the lead. They had great fun finding the next stations and discovering the various comic murals. This made the tour a real little adventure for her.

I had a hard time with this tour as the very first stop, the Smurfs wall, is permanently closed and it was difficult for me to get back on track to find the others so I abandoned the tour although others may have better success than I. The voice on the app was clear and easy to understand.
