A must see - 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.

Culture and fun! - We had fun and above all we learned a lot, our guide Samuel has a wide and vast knowledge not only of the comic culture in Brussels but also general culture which made the tour very enjoyable and interactive, I highly recommend it and hopefully it's your turn Samuel!!

Both great and bad experience - 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

Visit to the Comic Strip Museum in Brussels - Interesting visit to the museum, with numerous explanatory boards on the designers. Shop with a huge choice of comics and other goodies. We walked there from the center.
