As if I didn’t love the city already when we first arrived (on an NCL cruise) our tour guide was truly awesome. His knowledge as a local was just the tip of the iceberg, and as we went through different sections around this super popular area, he made all of it enjoyable and interesting. Even as a local, he was also unbiased towards things about the history and/or current status of the country, but he still loved it and that was felt. Lots of walking, but not at an uncomfortable pace. Chocolate and waffle tasting was quick enough to show us where to go back to after the tour was over. Loved this city!

A wonderful 3 hour tour of Brussels that we highly recommend! It is so good, we’ve taken it 2 years in a row. Our guide, Sancar, is passionate about Belgium and builds personal connections with each guest. The group is small (12 or less) which enhances the experience. You sample waffles and chocolate and learn how best to enjoy them in a local way. Great to do on your first day in Brussels.

This tour really covers almost everything you need to know about Brussels by a knowledgeable guide with excellent English. Historical, cultural, political information and a good tasting of waffles and pralines. Can’t recommend highly enough.
