The Dark Side of Brussels - Great intro to the Dark Side of Brussels - Nadine was a great guide, friendly and knowledgeable. 2 hour guided tour, also recommends places to eat and drink around the city, which is helpful when you are only visiting for a couple of days

What an amazing Tour - This without doubt a fantastic Tour through the darker parts of the History of Brussels. The Guide who I had, Rahiem made the tour with his personality, knowledge and anecdotes even better. I would definitely recommend this tour

Don’t skip this one! - Highly recommend! We had a great time learning more about the interesting and sinister past of Brussels. We got to see sites we never normally would’ve seen and topped it off with an incredible view of the city. Additionally, our guide Rayim gave great recommendations for restaurants and bars that we visited once the tour concluded. Would do it again in a heartbeat.

Really great starting point when in a new city. - This was a great experience and a starting point for someone new to Belgium. You get a bit of history and architecture and what makes Belgium, 'Belgium'. Strongly recommend. The guide is informative, a clear communicator and gave us some good recommendations to leave with afterwards.

Brussels Walking Tour - A good tour. Very good guide. Wish I’d had a better overview of the history of Brussels prior to this tour as I found it hard to make connections with different stops on the tour - but an enjoyable tour nonetheless.
