Amazing Brussels Tour - Guide was amazing and very knowledgeable. The meeting process was easy and everything went very well. The waffles and chocolate history and tasting was also amazing. Sancar was careful not to lose any of us and even emailed us recommendations for the remainder of our stay.

Brussels Up Close - Excellent and interesting history of several key places in Brussels. The samples of waffles and chocolate were very nice and enjoyable without any heavy sales pitch. The guide was very knowledgeable and answered all of our questions.

Enjoyable and so very informative - We loved this tour ! What a fantastic guide we had! She was a young, slight lady with a wicked sense of humour. Sorry it’s a few weeks back and my memory recall, isn’t great. But if you come across her - you’ll know. The tour, waffles, chocolate and places we went- were fantastic. Do your selves a favour and book this tour!

Great Overview of Brussels - We had limited time in Brussels and wanted to see the highlights. The group was limited in size, the commentary was good and we covered a lot of ground.

Best Tour Guide in Europe! - Wonderful experience getting to enjoy this tour with my spouse. The guide is highly knowledgeable, passionate, and helpful. We would recommend him to anyone visiting Brussels for the first time. He also took us to get REAL Belgium waffles and chocolate (and avoided all the touristy areas that aren’t as authentic).

Solo Brit who did this tour in August 2024 - It’s good - it’s all the main places covered that are central - the pissing boy, the great market square, the royal palace, an old fashioned luxury shopping plaza that used to be only for the rich and so on. But it means you’re definitely not going to miss any of the highlights. It’s nice to share that with others from other countries, and at each stop you get a very well rehearsed and delivered historical anecdote with great English but also a hint of emotion and passion and sincerity. You’re going to get the right waffle and the right chocolate this way too ie from the right places. They were where they said they’d be and on time, and the tour ran to time. All good.
