I can’t think of a better person to show you around town and explain what you are seeing. He really listens when you explain what you want to see and adjusts itinerary accordingly. Very attentive to my friend’s minor mobility issues as well. Sean wanted us to love Belgium and by the end of the tour we did. Thanks Sean for a wonderful evening.

I enjoyed our walk through Grand Plaz, Christmas market, sitting down with a cup of hot chocelate. Milton then guided us to the Royal Palace and the Chathedral. He is thougtful and knows his way in Brussels.

We had a wonderful tour with Andrea. He customized our tour to to the interests of our small group of friends, and taught us the complicated history and culture of Brussels and Europe in a very understandable and enjoyable way. On our walk, he showed us much of Brussels from an insiders’ view that we could not have seen on our own. If I were fortunate enough to return to Brussels I would not hesitate to see more of Brussels with Andrea.
