Private walking tour in Brussels with Tiago - We had a great tour of Brussels with Tiago. We booked our tour for when we first arrived and Tiago gave us a good understanding of the central part of the city. We talked about history, The Grand Place and other interesting facts about the city. We also really liked Church of Our Lady of Good Help.

Local perspective with accessible history - Tiago was very knowledgeable about Brussels history and Belgian history. Both of which he made exciting and interactive. He was able to explain why Brussels looks the way that it does and how it was shaped through history. He shared his love of the international and culturally encompassing flavor of the city. He showed us good restaurants and restaurants to avoid, by pointing out awards and Michelin awards. Additionally he pointing out the chocolate that is endorsed by the Royal family and the Premier chocolatiers to give us the best choices. We loved his humor and local perspective on life in Brussels and Belgium at large. Totally worth it!!

Tour guide makes Brussels feel like home! - Tiago is a tour guide for stories and wisdom! He has passionate knowledge and, clearly, loves the city of Brussels very deeply. He gave us tons of local folklore, we learned more from him than we did the museum! And he even gave us tips for spotting tourist traps. He is very flexible with adjusting the schedule to your needs. The whole thing felt seamless. We met with Tiago the first day and he helped us to the plan the rest of our trip with rich experiences! Another great benefit was that my husband and I never had to debate about what places had authentic Belgian experiences (or not). He knows all the best places to have great beer, waffles, and chocolate! We were able to make the most of our trip without breaking the bank.

Thank you Christophe! - Christophe was great! He was so kind and mindful of our kids (novice travelers) and how far we were walking. He stopped for them to grab snacks along the way. He had a lovely way of connecting the history of Brussels along with his own personal experience living in the city. Highly recommend the private tour option!
