Additional Information

The ‘Brussels, Scene of Crimes’ tour unfolds some of the notable criminal instances that haunted the capital during the 19th and 20th centuries.

Take a deep dive into the city’s past, as though present during that time, and broaden your understanding of Brussels’ locals, the law enforcement, and primarily the societal norms and tradition throughout the various epochs it weathered.

The journey might give you chills, incite fear and at times be unnervingly violent, but always maintains respect for the various characters involved and remains painstakingly truthful to the events.

This tour uncovers the grim aspect of Brussels’ history and immerses you into the darkest labyrinth of human mentality, however, the visit will equally impart knowledge about Brussels’ society during different periods traversed.

Great walk where you learn while having fun - It's very nice to walk around Brussels, to hear its history and its little stories, increasing in the seriousness of the facts. But the price is quite high.

Captivating stories from all times - The Brussels Crime Tour was exactly what we expected! Captivating gloomy stories about crimes around Brussels in different times. Our guide Thibault was really good, we got also several good tips for other things to do in Brussels on our last night there.

Mysterious Brussels, between crimes and stories. - It was a small group visit (4 people) which allowed us to stay close to the guide. This one, between old stories and more recent news; from the legends of Brussels to comments on today's city, took us on a journey through the small streets of the Sacré islet (and a little beyond) for more than two hours. At the end, he made us discover a somewhat mysterious and hidden place. It was a very nice experience, in very good company.
