Christoph was such a great guide. He walked us through the city hitting all the highlights & hidden gems. It was cold & rainy so we stopped for coffe vs beer🤣 did give us the recommendation for cherry beer & he was 100%right. Delicious

Don't book
Barbara_A, Dec 2024
This is a terrible operator. They cancelled on us 30 minutes before our scheduled tour. We were stuck with no plans last minute.
Response from Host, Dec 2024

This is not the level of service we aim to provide, and we understand how frustrating it must have been to have your plans disrupted. We will thoroughly review what happened to ensure situations like this are avoided in the future. Please accept our sincerest apologies for the disappointment caused. Kind regards, Withlocals Team
The Best in Brussels

Tiago was absolutely amazing! So informed on the history of Brussels, incredible in keeping our young kids entertained, and creatively adaptive to our family’s need for breaks. We highly recommend Tiago for individual or family-friendly tours!
Kristoph's Tour is a must in Brussels
Jessica_B, Nov 2024
Kristoph was the best tour guide! This tour is long and involved. There is no stone unturned as you see all of Brussels, including the less touristy things (you do all the tourist stops as well). We even had a chance to stop for a beer! He did a great job of educating us on all that is Brussels and even dropped us at a local (non tourist) restraunt for dinner. We would highly recommend this tour and Kristoph! People were stopping us in the street to compliment him!
Great tour of Brussels.

Great intro to Brussels!
Erin_H, Oct 2024
My husband and I spent a wonderful three hours learning all about Brussels with Tiago. The tour was flawless - we learned some interesting history and got great recommendations for everything - beer, chocolates, waffles, etc. Tiago is funny and charming and I feel like I have more memorable moments from this tour than the many we took on our travels. Thanks Tiago!
The guide was informative...
Michelle_T, Oct 2024
The guide was informative and very flexible to our interests. He was willing to modify the highlights of the tour based on what we wanted to see. I think Viator should have specifically included that it was a walking tour. We were not expecting that.
Very informative tour.
Gwen_O, Oct 2024
Christophe was very knowledgeable about the history of Brussels. We all forged on in spite of the rain. He was extra kind to walk us to the metro platform. I great tour to learn about the city.
Informative

Triago took us to the Catholic Church with the flags of three faiths on the wall. He is a real asset to your company. We had an excellent time due to has knowledge of the area and details.
Great tour
Erin_P, Sep 2024
Tiago did an amazing job tailoring the tour to my 11 year old’s interests. We visited several chocolate shops and got waffles from the best place in town. My daughter loved it. Highly recommend.
Interesting
John_F, Sep 2024
Tiago was extremely knowledgeable and covered the history we were interested in learning. We would recommend this tour and our guide, Tiago.
One of the best excursion experiences. 100% recommended
Deb, Sep 2024
Tiago is an excellent guide and a wonderful person. His history knowledge is phenomenal and expression is absorbing. He tools around Brussels downtown and explained so many things with such ease and in a very interesting manner. Didn’t realize that we had spent >2.5 hrs with him. I wish I can find another “Tiago” wherever we visit!
Outstanding tour of Brussels
