JAN Dec 2024

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.

He was very sweet and treated my girls to a treat at the Xmas market. Told us about the history and influence of the wars and politics on the city

Krista Dec 2022

We had a wonderful time with Michael as our guide. He customized the tour, so it was perfect for us. Highly recommend!!!

Jorge Dec 2019

We had a great time at the Christmas Market - light shows, food and drinks! Michaël was an excellent friendly guide who took note of our preferences and designed an itinerary tailored to our tastes. Highly recommended!!

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 enjoy private hosts sharing a city with us. We learn much more than in a big group, and it’s more fun
