Great evening tour around Brussels! - It was a great tour, very knowledgeable and interesting less-known facts of the city, as well as going outside the city centre into other districts. Not many dark stories as I thought, but rather non-conventional urban legends.

Fantastic insights into Bruxelles history, with a super friendly guide! - Great guide, had interesting facts about the city that we might have missed otherwise. Was also happy to share other info (tips on where to eat for instance). The tour was longer than I expected (c.2.5 hours), definitely recommended! Ensure you have comfy shoes and dress for the evening weather!

Great Tour - Very good value for money. Our guide Sebastian was very knowledgeable and seemed like he had a genuine passion for Brussels history. The group size was not too big so it was very comfortable. This tour is great if you want to know the less known history of Brussels
