Full description

Get an overview of the fascinating city of Brussels, with a tour through the medieval and Baroque city, the industrial city, the bourgeois city, and on to modern Brussels. This tour ensures you get to see all the parts of this multi-faceted city.

Learn about the city’s museums, where the best bars and local beers are, and where to buy the best chocolate at a reasonable price. Your guide will also answer any practical questions you might have about restaurants, attractions, nightlife, or even just getting around on public transport. During your walking tour of the city, the tour will be split into two different areas: the Upper City and Lower City. The tour is structured this way to help you better understand the origins and historic development of Brussels.  Highlights on your tour of the Lower City include the Grand Palace, the Everard t'Serclaes monument on Charles Buls street, the Manneken Pis and Grands Carmes street, Marché au Charbon street, the Covering of the Senne, Riches Claires street, and Grande Île street, Saint-Géry Island and more.  Whilst perusing through the Upper city, you'll notice a very different style. During this portion of the tour, you will see landmarks such as the Grand Place, the power of merchants, the Galeries Royales St Hubert, and the Mort Subite.

You'll also see the Cathedral of St. Michael and St. Gudula (visit inside: stained glass windows, the Chapel of the Blessed Sacrament, the pulpit), the Royal Park, the Royal Palace, the Royal Square, and The Palace of Coudenberg among many others.

We were notified the night before the tour that our guide was ill. We took another tour option which was OK but not with a local guide. The guide was often stumped by questions from the rest of the group. The tour did go through some of the main landmarks, but perhaps wasted too much time with details not particular to Brussels or its history, like the chocolate which is found through Belgium.

A very worthwhile tour to take at the start of your trip to Brussels. We done the 2.5 hr walking tour and found it very interesting. Our guide was very informative and was also very knowledgeable and witty in his description of the sights of the city. I would certainly recommend this tour to anyone thinking of travelling to Brussels.

Walid is an excellent guide. He made our trip to Brussels much more enjoyable by explaining the history & local culture in an engaging & fun way. The tour was really interesting & well-paced. We learned so much & returned later to some of the places he showed us to see more/try local food etc. I would thoroughly recommend this tour.
