Great tour - Excellent tour, thomas was very comitted to his job and really conveyed a passion for the city. However some information on his tour was not accurate, for instance he said Antwerpen is the largest Port in Europe which is incorrect.

Discovering Brussels Story - Thomas was a great guy, he's not from Spain, but his spanish is so understandable and good, the tour was very good, we ate some chocolates, and the story behind the french fries, the waffles and the beer is so interesting. I would recommend this tour and if it is with Thomas even better.

Great introduction to Brussels - Having never been to Brussels before this tour was the perfect introduction to the city, its sites and its history. Waleed was an engaging and informative guide. We really enjoyed learning about Brussels and the tour set up the rest of our trip including understanding where to dine / explore different neighbourhoods. Would recommend to others!

A Scotsman makes you want Brussels - A varied and entertaining tour of Brussels. Especially charming was the Scottish tour guide, who guided us through Brussels with many facts and stops. The other people in the group were also very nice and it was a colorful, international troupe. Always recommended.

Great - I was solo in a group total 5, with Dan. It was GREAT. Dan was quite knowledgeable, shared lots of legends, anecdotes, etc. I have often visited Brussels, but this tour put a whole new perspective, and ideas of more places to visit. Un grand merci, Dan! Barbara

A Cultural Tour de Force - Walid, our guide, was zany, but in a good natured way. His personality really shone through and made for an interesting time aboard the Brussels culture ride. We covered the Grand Markt, Mont des Arts, Galerie Royale areas. Walking pace was leisurely, with a gentle hill climb. Cobblestones around the Grand Markt area. Would be suitable for anyone with an interest in history or culture. My only complaint is a little too much of the tour was spent in the Grand Markt. That said it is a UNESCO world heritage site, so many may appreciate the lengthier discussion time.
