An enjoyable tour - It was really good we enjoyed it but it wasn’t about the dark side of Brussels. We were also disappointed at the end everyone had vouchers except us as they ran out. Informative and fun!

The guide was not able to... - The guide was not able to be located, even after 25 minutes of looking. The square was packed, but I arrived 10 minutes early and left 15 minutes after tour was supposed to start.
