Additional Information

The ‘Brussels, Scene of Crimes’ tour unfolds some of the notable criminal instances that haunted the capital during the 19th and 20th centuries.

Take a deep dive into the city’s past, as though present during that time, and broaden your understanding of Brussels’ locals, the law enforcement, and primarily the societal norms and tradition throughout the various epochs it weathered.

The journey might give you chills, incite fear and at times be unnervingly violent, but always maintains respect for the various characters involved and remains painstakingly truthful to the events.

This tour uncovers the grim aspect of Brussels’ history and immerses you into the darkest labyrinth of human mentality, however, the visit will equally impart knowledge about Brussels’ society during different periods traversed.

Captivating stories from all times - The Brussels Crime Tour was exactly what we expected! Captivating gloomy stories about crimes around Brussels in different times. Our guide Thibault was really good, we got also several good tips for other things to do in Brussels on our last night there.

Criminally great tour through the underbelly of Brussels - We went on this tour as part of our team building day and it was an absolute delight. As an avid fan of true crime and not a Brussels local, I got to learn about some local crimes and explore a city I normally only see a very small part of. François is an amazing storyteller and really brought the history to life. It's as if we were there! I greatly recommend this tour for anyone who enjoys a walking tour with a seedy twist. Thank you, François, for an amazing experience!

Great walking tour. Amazing stories. Very good . - On January 1st 2021, my husband and I had an great experience with this walking tour of Crime Scenes of Brussels. Our guide François could really bring you in the atmosphere of the period when the crime happened and was able to let your imagination put you in the situation. We nearly forgot that it was cold... :) It was really very good. I can only strongly recommend it. We will definitely try other tours proposed by Brussels by Foot.
