Pues que digo si no se apareció el guía, es súper decepcionante porque uno planea su día y toma en cuenta esta actividad y ni si quiera tuvo la atención de escribirme o cancelar el tour. Todo el plan del día estaba contemplado para tener ese tour, nos emocionaba mucho y pues deja una mala experiencia no solo de la app pero también de Bruselas

The tour was excellent. It was my first day in the city, and Nadine did an amazing job explaining in extreme detail different things that happened within the city, the not-so-shinny aspect. She took the time in each location to give us the context, the purpose of the visit, and how it impacts it today. I loved it. She also was great at giving directions and good spots to visit within the city! The tour is 10/10. Also, keep in mind that is cold in here, so you'll need a few warming layers.

Zvezdan (Dan) is very charismatic and welcoming. The tour felt like my friend was introducing me to the city, Dan was more than happy to answer extra questions and managed to engage our whole group. I really enjoyed the tour even though it was a bit rainy. Dan made sure we felt comfortable and I enjoyed the tour a lot. Thank you!

Eine etwas andere, überaus spannende Nachttour durch Brüssel. Viele interessante Geschichten, gute Tipps und eine sehr freundliche Stadt Vermittlerin - mehr braucht man nicht. Absolut empfehlenswert! 😃
