Do you plan to visit Brussels but don’t know anything about it ? Most of your friends even wonder why you decided to do so ? Why Brussels ? Well I can give you more than 43 reasons why you should visit this city. A city with soul and an age-old history, Brussels has something to offer for everyone ! Since the laying down of its first foundation stone in 580, Europe has witnessed Brussels’ evolution to power at a lightning speed. It has been the capital of numerous territories – Burgundy, Brabant, the Netherlands, Belgium and now Europe. Today with 159 embassies and 2500 diplomats, Brussels is the world’s second seat of diplomatic relations. Its refined heritage has been coveted and prized by many. But how did this young city acquire such a prominent role so rapidly in Europe since the Middle Ages? Join me as I walk you through the history of this city and tell you stories about its past and its present. During our journey we will visit the most important historical sites of the city, many are part of Unesco’s World Heritage. As we walk through the historical center, I will also introduce you to Belgium’s renowned artisanal and trappist beers, its chocolate making culture and its love affair with waffles. All this and much more packed into a neat 2h30 minutes walk. I guarantee to make you fall in love with Brussels!

We will first stop by in various local artisans chocolate shops, where you will try amazing samples. Crunchy hazelnut, dark ganache, salted butter caramel, as well as ginger, tea, coffee, saffron or chili... Forget what you already know, because you’re going to be surprised! Unique to Brussels, the chocolatiers are always experimenting with new flavors, textures and cocoa bean types. The second part is a Belgian Beer tasting session that will take you to bars and taverns around Grand Place. It's a great way to discover small taverns and mix with locals. The places we go to are hidden small gems and are not easy to find at all. Like one of the oldest taverns in town or a small bar/puppet theatre. You will sample beers that are all completely different and all specific to Belgium. Abbey beers, Trappists, Lambics, Krieks, Belgian IPAs, Triple Blonds, Double Browns... you name it! We focus only on local and craft beers. No Leffe or a Stella Artois here ;) During the tour, you will also learn about the city history, discover hidden corners and wander off the beaten path. We want you to experience the real Brussels, away from the tourists traps and the Delirium bar! Other things to note We are looking forward to welcoming you in Brussels, come rain or shine! Get ready for an unforgettable afternoon! MAX 20 PEOPLE. When a group is above 10 people, there will be two guides (one main guide + one assistant guide).

Are you a chocoholic? Do you also believe that quality local food is the best way to discover a new culture? And that food experiences are best enjoyed in small groups? Our first part will focus on Belgian chocolate culture and on the history and traditions of our beloved hometown. In the sumptuous Royal Galleries, you will discover Belgianness by tasting the best traditional chocolate confectionery of our small kingdom. The second part will be an introduction to fine chocolate sensory analysis in our tasting room. You will learn about the bean-to-bar revolution and the art of tasting craft chocolate like a pro. You will be offered exceptional craft chocolates from very small artisans only known by true connoisseurs :-) Please note that: -This is not a crowded tour but an intimate and exclusive experience (max 6 guests per group) with a local expert. -Due to the limited places, we're often fully booked!

During our time you will have hands on experience of forging, shaping and finishing your own silver ring. First you will choose which finger you would like the ring for, measure your silver and cut to size using a handsaw. Next you will choose from a wide selection of hand stamps to add a custom message onto the inside of the ring. This could be a name, date or your favourite beer! You will learn how to hammer the silver into a ring shape using mallets and a triblet. I will then heat and solder your ring while explaining the process of heating and joining silver together. Next I will show you how to add textures and markings to your ring. This is your unique ring and your time to really show your creative side! The last step will be to choose the finish and polish; this could be highly polished to add some sparkle, a satin finish or even a rough forged look to your ring.

Our tour starts at Brussels' main square. We then pick up our bikes and take you on a 3.5 hour bike ride, visiting the 10 most important city landmarks, stopping at each one for historical information and fun facts.

I have two possible starting points for my Fashion photo walk. You can start the tour from Grand Place and tour in the Dansaert fashion district or opt directly for cool fashion photo shoot in the beautiful botanical garden of Brussels, Le Botanique. You can also request to have the complete 2 hour tour from Grand Place until Le Botanique (just book the private tour option then) where you can experience all of the beautiful locations and get more time to shoot your fashion photos. You will get beautiful, must-have BXL photos to your instagram and lots of great memories from Brussels. Grand Place-Dansaert On our way in the centre we will pass comic strip murals where I give you explanations of the comics so you can get inspired of their world and characters. Street art works also as a nice backdrop for great fashion photos. We can always check some boutiques on the way or stop for a coffee (drinks are not included to the price) and enjoy the day. Le Botanique Botanical garden is all about feeling to be like a beautiful nymph or god and goddess in the middle of nature. If its raining I know also places we can go. I will take photos of you during the whole tour and send you high quality photos in some days after the tour via Wetransfer photo transfer service. You will experience Brussels like a model and I will be your local guide and personal photographer.

Prefer Spanish? https://www.airbnb.com/experiences/3925140 No boring old-fashioned history tour with a retired teacher but a walk through medieval Bruges with a passionate storyteller! We want you to get to know the highlights of both our history & heritage and everything there's to experience nowadays. You'll get to see the highlights you can't miss as well as some lesser-known spots. You'll be able to image how life was in the middle ages but we also load you up with recommendations for Bruges these days! Where to grab a delicious Belgian waffle. Which chocolate shops are the best for pralines. We'll share our restaurant recommendations based on your budget. And of course, we'll tell you where to get the finest Belgian beers (at a fair price). We'll cover about 3km. The tour is fully wheelchair and stroller accessible but do keep in mind that Bruges mainly has coble stone streets. This is a Free Walking Tour, which means you only pay a small online booking fee up front. At the end of the tour you can decide for yourself how much the experience is worth to you.

We will be taking you to an old local bar and giving you information about the vast beer culture in Belgium. (Believe me, it is like wine tasting in France or Italy) You will get a flight of 4 Belgian beers to taste. Are you a person of sweets? Then we will jump into the land of sugar together, and you will taste fine chocolates and eat Belgian Waffle throughout the tour. Everybody who lives in Belgium (including French) knows very well that fries are from Belgium and not in France. The world knows them as French Fries. This particular tour is focused on changing your idea and never calling the name of French Fries again. Please note tastings are limited to 1 portion/1 glass of each. You may choose not to have them all, but it does not change the price. Please note it takes around 2-2.5 hours, depending on weather conditions. You will see at least 4 famous monuments located within walking distance. We will be giving information about the history of the monuments as well. Other things to note We will try to understand your taste and what you like the most and adjust all the experiences according to yours.

As you might not know Belgium is not only famous for its waffles, beers and chocolate but also for being the cradle of the 9th Art : comics (known as "bande dessinée -BD" in French). Never heard of Tintin, The Smurfs, Lucky Luke, Astérix, ... ? To commemorate the link between Belgium and comics, 50ish murals have been painted throughout Brussels' center since the 90's (and a few more a bit outside of it). So together we will discover Brussels’ center throughout the visit of some of those comics murals/paintings. I will give you some short explanations on each of them and will answer your questions if you are curious on the subject. Of course there will be many other points of attention along the way like buildings, squares, and street art. If interested I can also give you my inner opinion and some tips for your next visits (bars, restaurants, museums...) . As the tour is not a 5 hours tour, please don't expect to see all the comics murals that are quite widespread in the city and to receive long historical explanations on each buildings that we will encounter. It's not a historical tour, others do that better than I could :-) The point of this experience is to discover a part of Belgian comics culture/history and to show you -through a selection of comics murals- some streets and neighborhoods you probably would not have visited on your own...

L'activité se déroule dans le centre historique de Bruxelles et dure au total 3 heures à 3h30. Tout commence à 14h30 (ou 15h) au magnifique lieu "Halles Saint-Géry". Un membre de notre belle équipe, ou moi-même, nous vous attendons pour vous expliquer le déroulement du jeu et annoncer la grande catastrophe qui vient de se produire ; Louis Pasteur est à Bruxelles pour rendre visite à son ami qui a mystérieusement disparu!
