Tour description

Blurb
Why is Belgium split into two regions? Where and when was Brussels founded? What does "Brussels" mean? Where did the money to build the Grand Place come from? Why is Belgian chocolate and beer so good? You will find answers to these and many more questions by exploring Brussels on my tour.

Additional information:
This walk is recommended for curious travelers who are interested in learning about the history and culture of Belgium and Brussels. My specialty is bringing the past back to life and helping newcomers connect with the city.

While it may be possible to make a short break around Manneken-Pis/the Sablon, it is advisable that you bring a water bottle with you and an energy bar.
