11 Best Brussels Walking Tours 2020 - Best Tours in Brussels

The best part of our Brussels trip

I am so glad I decided to book this tour for me and my best friend, we learnt all the best things about Brussels and so much more about chocolate! Without this tour we would have wondered around naively and fallen into tourist traps whereas we learnt about the best places to eat and shop so we could really get the best out of Brussels

Highly recommended

I can't remember our tour guide's name (he used to live in Paris), but he was amazing. Warm, friendly, likeable, knowledgeable, and he included a good mix of facts and personal opinions. I highly recommend this tour.

Great Tour

We had a great time. Our guide Sebastian was informative about the city and the beers. He was likes the mayor around the square. He seemed to know everyone!

5 stars.

I had a good time because the group was only 5 people and lasted only a couple of hours. Just right. And delicious waffles.

The tour was utterly fantastic. Belgian chocolate is so good because they use cocoa butter instead of palm oil. It mostly comes from its African colony, the Belgian Congo but the best is made using cacao beans from Ghana and Madagascar. Our walk took us for tastings at 6 of THE most exclusive chocolate boutiques in Brussels – almost all chocolate here is made by hand. The shops we visited were all fabulous and the quality increased from the beginning to the end of the tour. We also passed some important cultural attractions like the Manneken-Pis (small statue of a boy taking a pee – no one seems to know the legend behind it but tourists flock there to take photos) City Gates, the elegant Royal Galleries of St Hubert (the first shopping arcade in Europe built in mid-19th century) and some comic-art wall murals along the way and there was a 1 hour hands-on workshop at the half way point – our creations were beautifully wrapped and presented to us at the end of the walk.

Fantastic tour that hits all the highlights of Brussels!

This tour is the perfect combination of food, fun, and facts. Not only was our guide knowledgable about the history of the city, he was acutely aware of the current hits and misses in terms of food, culture, and shopping. He smoothly guided us through historical highlights and was spot-on with his food, beverage, and chocolatier guidance. This tour is packed with eats and drinks. All 5 of the ladies in our group were so full that we skipped dinner that night. And we were happy to do so because the food we ate on the tour was so fantastic. We got insights in to how to navigate the streets of Brussels like a local and it made us all excited to continue exploring on our own. You'll want to come back to Brussels for more. At least our group does! If you like history and you like to eat and drink, you won't be disappointed with this tour!

We had a great time on the tour and met lots of lovely people from all over the world! The tour moved at a good pace, without being rushed or feeling like we spent too long in any one place. We visited 5 different pubs/bars and had 8 different beers. These were not places that you would stumble across, some of them were hidden away down little alleyways.
I wouldn't pick a dark beer for myself usually as they don't tend to suit my taste. However, the beers we tasted on this tour were absolutely delicious and we got a mixture of different styles, tastes etc including some darker beers which were absolutely delicious. The snacks along the way were tasty too. Thanks Arty for a wonderful afternoon and for sharing your knowledge.
I would recommend this tour to anyone and everyone!

Our review is a clear 5 of the tour! Lara (hope I spelled it right) was an amazing guide which made the tour amazing! Some feedback:

1. It could help to for example have a flag at the starting point to make it more clear where the meeting point is.

2. The tour felt very personal and not something Lara "had" to do. It felt like she really wanted to do this for us which made it more interesting.

3. Lara was really knowledgeable and could answer every question asked. She is really the right person for the job!

This was easily the highlight of our trip! Keep up the good work and thank Lara from us!

We were taking a break from Paris and took the train to Brussels for a day. We decided to do the food tour which included mussels, cheese, beer, waffles and chocolate. Our tour guide was amazing! We walked about the main square, stopping in various shops and restaurants. She did an excellent job showing us the city and giving us the scoop on the local life and also where to avoid. She recommended a restaurant for dinner that night, which was incredible.
It was a great way to spend one day in Brussels.
Tip - don't each lunch before the 1P meet. You will get plenty of food and drink over the 4 hour tour.

The guide, Avo, was fantastic. His knowledge of the city and his knowledge of chocolate and its history could not be beat. I appreciated hearing what a true Chocolatier is and hearing that there are mainstream companies in Brussels that have not tried to improve upon their chocolate over the years. I was only in Brussels for the day and wouldn't have been able to see and know everything Avo showed us on my own. The chocolate tasting exceeded my expectations and the workshop was very fun. I highly recommend the Global Enterprises chocolate workshop and tasting tour.

Beer tour

We booked ooked for Belgian Beer and Food Pairing but due to a mix up in the booking we didn't get to go on it. We were given option to go on Beer tour instead and we are pleased we did it.
Sebastien was a great tour guide, absolutely into everything beer (when not working as a barman he does the tours) and very knowledgable about beer and Brussels. We went to some great little bars which although near the Grand Place are not tourist traps!
Wonderful beers, great group of people on the tour, super bars and in a thoroughly enjoyable beer tour. Well worth doing!

Excellent tour

Gorgeous food, interesting history, and a gracious tour guide--no one could ask for more. We thoroughly enjoyed this small group tour with Avo. The first part of the tour was a brief history of Brussels followed by a visit to a small, historic bar where we enjoyed lambic beer. Next up a bit more sightseeing followed by a lovely, and very large, lunch. Then more sightseeing mingled with chocolate tasting, waffles, and more chocolate. The tour is a delightful way to be introduced to Brussels and Brussels cuisine. Highly recommend!

Knowledgable your guide and great food

We really struggled to find a food tour in Brussels (apart from just beer and chocolate!), this tour was recommended via a blog & I'm so glad we found it.

Our guide Avo was so knowledgeable about the history of Brussels & obviously enjoyed taking tours. Our tour even over ran and he was very relaxed about the additional time he gave up for us (mostly due to food service times). I would highly recommend this tour, it was so interesting, we ate lots and it gave us great ideas for the rest of our stay.

Thanks Avo!

Definitely one of the highlights of my stay in Brussels. The beer was incredible and our tour guide was quite knowledgeable and friendly. He was quick to get the tour group acquainted with one another.

As a solo traveler to Brussels I really enjoyed meeting others on this tour as we continued to drink into the evening once the tour was done.

The bars were were taken to seemed to be off the beaten path and were much quieter than I expected which was great since we were able to converse easily.

Arty the tour guide was great! His knowledge of Belgium & their famous beers was unbelievable. We tasted 8 beers at some unique bars which you will never find in the heart of Brussels. Artys knowledge of the Trappist beers was second to none. He made the group interact with each other & there were plenty of laughs along the way. I recommend this tour to anyone who loves a beer & wants an insight on how Belgium beer is made. Beware this tour will get you drunk :) Great fun - 5 star!

Great Tour

This tour was amazing, our guide Daniel was very knowledgeable & went out of his way to make sure we were not disappointed even though our tour was done in the rain. The food was a fantastic full sit down meal, you won't need to eat beforehand. The only thing I would say is this is more a sight & meal tour with a small tasting of chocolate & beer, so if you are looking for more of this you may be disappointed. I would highly recommend this tour.

Great Tour

I would recommend this tour to anyone that wants to get a high level overview of Belgium beer. Our guide, Alex, had us sample a bunch of different types of beers and taught us about how its made/why its special to Belgium as well as took us to less touristy bars which was very nice. Highly recommend as a first thing to do in Brussels.

Excellent Tour of Brussels with Various Belgium Beers and Pubs

Great job by Johann our tour guide for giving us a great overview on the various Belgium Beers and their pubs. My wife and I learned a lot about the history and Johann was great about also giving us a brief chocolate tour. Would recommend the tour to anyone who has likes to try different beers and learn the history of Brussels.

I went on the tour guided by Mark (I believe) and it was amazing...literally one of my favorite experiences ever. He was super funny and informative and the bragging rights won by eating so many high quality chocolates makes the memory even better. 5 star rating! Would love to go on one of his beer tours one day!
