The Historical Brussels Walking Tour was an incredible experience! Our guide was a true expert, providing rich historical insights into Brussels’ past while taking us to significant landmarks such as the Grand Place, the Royal Palace, and the medieval quarter. The stories behind each site were captivating and gave us a deeper understanding of the city’s evolution over centuries. Walking through the narrow, cobblestone streets of the old town felt like stepping back in time. This tour is a must for history lovers and anyone wanting to explore the roots of Brussels in detail.

As we strolled through the cobblestone streets, we explored landmarks like the Manneken Pis, the elegant Galeries Royales Saint-Hubert, and the impressive St. Michael and St. Gudula Cathedral.
What stood out the most was the guide’s ability to connect historical events with the modern identity of the city. Whether discussing the medieval origins of the city walls or the Art Nouveau movement, each stop was both educational and entertaining.
The pace of the tour was perfect—not too rushed, with plenty of time for questions and photos. It’s suitable for all ages and an excellent introduction to Brussels for first-time visitors.
