Asefeh was lovely and did a great job! She was there on time waiting for us when we arrived and patient with a failed luggage check issue that caused a delay in our getting started - and she kindly cut into her day afterwards to finish the tour for us. She was very well versed in the city’s history and quickly responded with an answer to our random questions! We loved doing the private walking tour and are glad we did it!

Our family had a lovely time with our tour guide Andrea who customized our tour to make sure each family member was happy. Andrea told great stories of the city, EU, architecture, politics and history. We ate Belgian waffles, chocolate and got a rooftop view of the city. We loved the pace of the tour — not too much walking, with enough time for eating and exploring, and great conversations.

We were a group of 5 colleagues touring Brussels with Francis. Francis was very knowledgeable and was able to take us around the city to see all the major attractions per our request. We also really enjoyed his sense of humor. I will highly recommend Francis to my friends who are planning to visit Brussels in the near future

He made sure that he was waiting for us when we got off the train and asked us what we wanted to see and made sure we got to see everything. Even when we ran out of time he made sure to guide us in the right direction and recommend several places for us to continue exploring.
