Seing Brussels Centre and nice places by bike - Seing Brussels by Bike is very good way to do. We did see a lot of nice places which we did not see a walking tour the day before. Nice guide with a lot of information. Bike's with gear were good.

Amazing bike tour! - We did a bike tour with a group of 14 friends. It was absolutely an amazing experience. Both the Brussels locals and the ones not knowing the city too well learned so much. Our guide Tim was an absolute gem. Passionate, knowledgeable, caring - everything one could wish for. Definitely recommend this to anyone who's eager to explore Brussels in a fun, ecological, and original way!

A perfect morning. - A fantastic experience. The guide was excellent and had a great knowledge of the city. He summed the group up perfectly and took us on a fascinating tour of lesser known places of interest. I'm so glad I booked it.

Pedalando em Bruxelas - experiência rica em cultura e história - Experiência rica em história e cultura da Bélgica. Pedalamos por mais de 3h, passando por ruas encantadoras e praças que contam a transformação de Bruxelas ao longo do tempo. Fred, o guia da CACTUS, realizou o tour em inglês (conforme contratado) mas descobrimos que ele também fala um pouco de português e foi muito atencioso explicando as nossas dúvidas. Recomendo muito o biketour. It was a rich experience!! History and culture of Belgium by bike. We cycled for more than 3 hours, passing through charming streets and squares that reflect the transformation of Brussels over time. We did the english tour with Fred, the CACTUS guide. He is very smart and answer all of our questions. He also speak other languages and give tips about the tips. I highly recommend the biketour.j

Brilliant tour with friendly guides! - I booked this as a little surprise for my boyfriends birthday whilst visiting Brussels. The snow was quite bad the morning of our cycle but despite the weather we were excited to get going. Possibly due to the weather/time of year we were the only ones who turned up for the tour but it still went ahead thankfully. We had our guide and another guide from Cactus came along for the ride too and both were friendly, super patient and generous with their time/knowledge. (Sorry I wish I could add their names but this review is long overdue since I went in Jan). We went to loads of great locations and we both really enjoyed learning about the city and those things that you wouldn't usually see or know just exploring on foot. We also stopped off for a drink half way round, great way to warm up and try some Belgium beer! At the end, our guide very kindly wrote down a few cafes/restaurants with authentic Belgium food. We visited Au Stekerlapatte that evening which was brilliant (would really recommend the beef stew!) and somewhere out of the way we wouldn't have found without him, so thank you! Really recommend, great experience and fab group of tour guides :)

Unique Brussels experience - We had a private tour with Renaat, who took us on our request to unique places in Brussels. We told him we were interested in how Brussels handles biodiversity and strives to become a more sustainable city. Renaat was extremely knowledgable, knows places noone else ever visits, explains and tells background stories. We had a great time. We stopped for coffee and hot chocolate at Tour & Taxi and enjoyed a great afternoon! Equipment superb, super safe trip and thanks to Renaat an unforgettable journey through the city of Brussels!

Fun way to see Brussels! - Was very fun biking around the heart of old Brussels! Got to see many of the main sights as well as interesting places off the beaten track and hear cool history. I felt very safe in traffic the whole time following the guide.

All in a Morning - This tour was great. We only had a few days in Brussels and this tour covered a lot of ground in a morning. Our guide, Fred, was super fun; its really cool that he was a volunteer and not a “professional” guide as Cactus is a non-profit. He did as good of a job (if not better) than some professional guides. Kudos to this group!

A nice ride. - “Interesting small group tour. Takes you away from typical (and crowded) tourist sites to explore areas you might not typically see. Pretty parks, bike trails and a host of historic spots with great stories are contrasted with plainer, poor neighborhoods to provide visitors with a more “organic” view of the city and its demographics. You should be proficient in riding a bike in busy, city traffic for approximately 3.5 hours in order to calmly maneuver around cars, fellow cyclists and pedestrians. The tour Guides are attentive and helpful but expect visitors to keep up, including navigating hills. I’m very glad we went but be aware this is hardly intended for novice or nervous riders. (No ebikes. )”
