    I did not do a guided tour to the comics on the walls of the house in Brussels. Nevertheless, I found some of the pictures. They are tall and almost all colored. Whether Lucky Luck, Asterix and Oberlix, Tim and Struppi, you'll find them all. Many visitors to Brussels go looking alone. Some of the pictures I saw by chance. Always great to see. Brussels is known for comics. Since 1991, house walls have been embellished with comic characters.

    Unser guide war eine sehr temperamentvolle Frau, die uns die Comic Welt und ihre Besonderheiten in Brüssel sehr anschaulich und voller wunderbarer Geschichten nahegebracht hat. Da wir nur 3 Personen waren, konnte sie auf all unserer Fragen sehr gut eingehen und verstand es nicht nur - immer mit einer Prise Humor- dies zu beantworten sondern in einen Kontext mit dem Leben und Wirken der Menschen und Comic Autoren zu verknüpfen. Wir haben sehr viel erfahren und die 3!!! Stunden sind wie im Flug vergangen. Abgerundet mit einigen Tips zu unserem Aufenthalt in Brüssel war das eine nachhaltig beeindruckende Tour mit sehr viel Herzblut. Noch einmal vielen, vielen Dank dafür.

    I gave it 5 because the guide was fascinating and knew his subject very well. I could have given Tripadvisor a 1 because this service provider does not have a guide in French. After booking, I received a message by snap during the night from the service provider telling me that the tour was in Spanish. Not having had the information we introduced ourselves and luckily there was only a Spaniard who spoke English and who after discussion agreed that the tour would be done in English. It was more difficult for the guide and for us, especially my wife, but overall we pretty much understood each other. So French travelers who only speak French, be very careful because this service provider only does school groups in French and private tours but it is not at all the same price
