Reviews of Our Brussels Experiences

Very knowledgeable and willing to share his political opinions when asked, which was my principal reason for the tour. Accepts differences gracefully

If you book only 1 tour in Brussels let this be it. I have lots of special needs and never felt like a problem for half a second I covered everything from history to politics to culture tried Belgian coffee n hot chocolate a long way. Laurence best guide I had in Western Europe and i travelled extensively over last 23 days.

Overall experience was great. Great overview of a lot of things without focusing too much on only a few, which was just as I asked.

We enjoyed our walk to the European Quarter. Our guide Patrick was very attentive and knowledgeable. We have time to visit the Parlamentarium ( entrance was not included), then we stroll to the Leopold Park, Cinquentanaire Park, Luxemburgo place. Kudos to our guide! Recommend this tour.
