Small Group Adventure - My partner and I had an unforgettable experience on the small group walking tour of Brussels. Led by guide Asefeh, we wandered through the city's historic streets, discovering hidden treasures and hearing captivating stories at every turn. The intimate group size allowed for meaningful interactions with both our guide and fellow travelers, making it feel more like a leisurely stroll with friends than a structured tour.

This tour needs headsets. - Anais was very nice and a good tour guide. The only issues we had is that the tour company did not provide headsets so we missed a lot of what she had to say. Brussels can be noisy and unless we were right next to her, we couldn’t hear what she was saying. Also, Anais was a very fast walker. At times, many of the group were were almost a block behind her and she rarely turned around to see where the rest of the group was. This was the reason I gave 4 stars rather than 5.

Enjoyable Walking Tour - Asefeh took my partner and I on a walking tour of Brussels. We enjoyed her information as well as the conversation in between stops.
Because it was just the guide and the 2 of us, we covered a lot of ground as well as topics of history, politics, religion, and culture.
Through no fault of Asefeh, the meeting location was moved an hour before the tour. Fortunately, we were close enough to get to the new place on time.

Far too rushed - Our guide was too rushed and did not allow enough time for photos.
It was an unfortunate situation as it could have been very interesting if she took more time. We arrived at our final stop 8 minutes early so had to wait for the clock to ring.

Dont count on them - The trip got cancelled with very little notice. I waited 20 mins for a guide to not show up. When I contacted them, they had no record of my booking even though my card got charged.
