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.

Patrick was a friendly and knowledgeable guide. While the European Quarter was interesting as expected, the real surprise was the associated trip to the Atomium and refresher course on the Brussels Metro. An excellent experience and I highly recommend it!
