Overview

We are local guides, ready to show you around using a mix of Humor, stories of Belgium & its history and genuine tips & tricks to get to know Brussels quickly: look no further. Together we have many years of experience in doing exactly that.

The city has a rich history and transformed into the capital of Belgium and of Europe. Brussels is hard to describe, as it's not just a city. It's more like a concept (like Belgium itself). There's an enormous amount of things to consider: it's the birthplace of world-famous comics, there are 80 museums, politicians from 27 countries, 3 official languages and even more unofficial ones, it was at the heart of both WWI and WWII and people from 184 different nationalities are living in it.

And of course, there's beer, chocolate, fries, and waffles.

Join us, and we'll introduce you to everything Brussels has to offer!

Meeting point

Grand Place

On arrival

You'll find your guide on the iconic Grand Place of Brussels by looking for the YELLOW umbrella with AMBASSADORS on it. Rain or shine, we'll be there.

Any other yellow umbrella won't be as good.

Things to note

Our tours are running as normal again. Face masks or QR codes are not required.

For children under 12, you don't need to make a booking, as we still have to limit the group size (and children are not subjected to this rule).

While wearing a mask isn't mandatory. If you're part of a risk group, it is encouraged to wear an FFP2 mask if not enough distance can be kept.

Wear comfortable shoes.
As Belgium has ever-changing weather, prepare for the worst possible weather, then the weather can only turn out to be better than expected. We'll run our tours anyway!

Had an excellent walking tour with my guide Connor. He knew so much about the city and all of its history. He was able to give very informative and historical fact about every stop as well as the history of Belgium. He was a great guide and would recommend it to anyone who want to know more about the history of Belgium
