About this activity

If you want a local to show you around using a mix of humour, stories of Belgium and its history and genuine tips and tricks to get to know Brussels quickly: look no further. Together we have many years of experience in doing exactly that.

The city has a rich history and transformed into the capital of Belgium and of Europe. Brussels is hard to describe as it's not just a city. It's more like a concept (like Belgium itself). There's an enormous amount of things to consider: it's the birthplace of world-famous comics, there are 80 museums, politicians from 27 countries, 3 official languages and even more unofficial ones, it was at the heart of both WWI and WWII and people from 184 different nationalities are living in it.

And of course, we'll make sure that afterwards you know about beer, chocolate, fries and waffles.

Join us and we'll introduce you to everything Brussels has to offer!
