What travelers think of our Layover Exploration experiences in Europe
Patrick’s knowledge and communication skills were excellent. He pointed out some interesting places and items which would have been missed with either a group tour or a less engaged guide. His use of language was very good and we felt comfortable with our guide and our tour.
Show moreSebastian was an excellent host and guide. We learned a great deal about Brussels and what it is like for a young adult to live in this incredibly diverse city. My husband was not feeling well, so Sebastian adjusted his tour to our needs and that was especially appreciated.
Show moreSebastian was an excellent tour guide! He showed us the best spots in Brussels and gave fantastic recommendations for places to eat, as well as where to find unique beers and chocolate. We learned so much during the tour. He was also incredibly patient with our 5- and 8-year-old kids, who asked tons of questions. Thanks, Sebastian, for a wonderful experience!
Show moreAndrea was very knowledgeable and gave us a detailed overview of the history of Belgium and Brussels. We visited all of the major sites and stopped for a quick lunch near the EU parliament. The tour focused heavily on EU politics which might not be for everyone.
Show moreGreat day exploring the city for first time visitors. Saw many of the major sites, as well as great exposure to the neighborhoods and the food! We were very well taken care of and we felt like we were highly catered to.
