Hello, I'm Laurence, your local host in Brussels. What captivates me most about Brussels is the fusion of flavors and the unique atmosphere. From the charming little pubs to the exquisite restaurants, I revel in the diversity of culinary experiences that define this city. As an explorer of both the outdoors and art, I take delight in exploring the vibrant streets and indoor galleries across the Center, museum quarter, and Ixelles. And hidden gems? I thrive on showcasing the lesser-known treasures that make Brussels a true artistic haven. With a background in art and architecture, I have become a guru in navigating the city's museums and historical landmarks. Join me on a journey through the heart of Brussels. Let's make your stay in Brussels an unforgettable blend of history, art, and the delightful flavors that define this remarkable city.

This is an excellent tour to spend a few hours to see all the prime sites in Brussels. Laurence was an amazing guide. She is from the area and teaches history. She made everything we saw come to life. Not just dates but details of the architecture and people. She was open to any stops for chocolate, waffles, or fries! We saw all the right places to understand Brussels history and where it is today with a melting pot of cultures and people. Excellent Tour!

The history that brought brussels to life... How Lawrence described every detail of the building in a story of how the building exists today.... what it was before. ....And how things changed through time. I'm a fan of storytelling, and she did a fantastic job.
