Tour description

Welcome to Brussels as you've never experienced it before!
Behind the pristine facades and countless chocolate stores, there lies a dark and bloody past that is rarely discussed. During this evening tour illuminated by lantern light, you'll explore the city's rich history while delving into the tales of revolts, forgotten heroes, executions, and torture techniques.

Get away from the main tourist attractions and immerse yourself for 2 hours in the chilling and tragic history of the capital of Europe. This unique experience will leave you with the best view of the city and memories that will last a lifetime.

  • Saint Jean Square.
  • Anneessens Tower.
  • Rollebeek Street.
  • Notre Dame du Sablon.
  • Church of Our Blessed Lady of the Sablon.

Stefan was super fun! If you get offended easily - probably inform your guide right away. But I truly enjoyed the time, funny jokes, atmosphere and energy of our fun group. The tour was very informative and super interesting. We got lucky with the weather, no rain!

Probably the best walking tour I’ve ever done! Usually I get bored learning about history, but the guide (Stephan) was very engaging and funny and I learnt a lot! I saw so many new places and learnt so many things about Brussels (even after being in the city for 2 weeks!). This tour is a great way to learn about the city in a way that’s not boring.

Fun, informative and of the beaten track. Stops and stories told show what defines Belgium: surrealism, sometimes into the absurd. I was really impressed that this was a brand new tour. The delivery was smooth and very well paced.
