What you'll do

Journey through Brussels with one of our Brussels hosts by your side to get a taste of the beauty that fills the city. We know you can’t possibly see all the gems the locals hold dear in a day, but your host will share as much as they can of what makes Brussels tick.

From tourist attractions like Mannekin Pis, Sint-Michiels Kathedraal, and the Atomium to what we’re sure everyone secretly looks forward to - the food! Your host will show you where to try authentic meals like moules, marinières, and frites and where to indulge in the creamiest pralines and truffles! 

Of course, we’d never forget about the chocolate boutiques that the city is famous for. Whatever your vibe, your host will show you where to find what you’ll enjoy! Get to see the real Brussels with your host, who will have you feeling like a (chocolate-loving) local in no time!

    Andrea 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.

    Great 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.

    We were on a cruise ship stopping in Bruges and decided to tour Brussels for the day. Our tour guide Michael met us when we got off the train, and the tour was tailored to our interests. We went to the Atonium, and then all around central Brussels, stopping for Belguim waffles and lunch. Michael was very knowledgeable and helpful getting us around within our time constraints!
