Ian, our guide, was great, showing us both the traditional and whimsical sights while explaining their impact on modern Brussels. And the waffles and artisanal chocolates were very tasty too!
This is the best way to get to know the city. We had the best Belgian waffles and chocolates during the walking tour. Our tour guide also pointed out some great places to eat. We were very pleased with the tour overall.
Very good overview of the history and culture of Brussels, covering the major sections of the city centre and also sampling the essential waffles and chocolate from good quality suppliers. Our guide Sarah was friendly, knowledgeable and considerate. Great introduction to the city.
Sarah was great! The tour was a good mix of historical insight on Brussels and waffle and chocolate tasting!
