“A very informative, yet entertaining tour. Tour guide Ian brings the history of Brussels and the true, or almost true, stories about it to life. In between, you'll enjoy a waffle for refreshment and later, authentic chocolates to sample. The tour is relatively long at 2.5 to 3 hours, but it covers the historical part and the Mont des Arts.

Review of Brussels’ private 2.5-hour history tour, from Grand Place and Manneken Pis to the Royal Quarter and Mont des Arts.
“Our private tour guide Don was amazingly knowledgeable about the city and finding hidden treasures most guides could not. Don took us to narrow streets and explained the term gang. Also hidden artifacts. I believe he went above and beyond our expectations. Dons recommendations to continue on our own after tour completed was well worth it. I for sure will take similar tours in the future when traveling.”
