Greg was a fantastic guide. I was more interested in the "why" and "how" of the old town area, and Greg was able to tailor my tour. Excellent experience, and I would recommend him to anyone!

Great experience, personalized for our interests! We learned a lot about Brussels and sampled great chocolate! Meeting spot was easy to locate and central to tour activities. Excellent descriptions of chocolate production in Brussels with some information and facts! Got to walk around a lot of the city which was fine for our group!

City Unscripted knows how to organize a gear trip and match customers with the right guide. We had a great time with Michael. Even though it was raining, he made sure that our spirits were high! We enjoyed learning about the history of Belgium and Brussels. He combined chocolate tasting with a good balance of visiting popular landmarks. We even took a “fries break” to avoid “Chocolate Overload”. Overall, we visited 6 chocolate shops-every one of them had their own specialty! Highly recommend City Unscripted and Michael!

Michael was super friendly and tailored our chocolate experience to our tastes. He even introduced us to some chocolates from Bruges. Easy conversation and great guidance to small chocolate producers.
