Hi Serge, Sorry to hear you didn't appreciate our tour (and our guide Mauro). The guide told me that you cycled and stopped at highlights such as the Marolles and the Palace of Justice, Tour&Taxis, the European quarter,... . Manneke Pis or Grand Place are not part of the tour. Those are places you can easily visit by yourself. We also try to let people discover less known places and neighbourhoods and the bicycle allows us to go off the beaten tracks.
Our tours are (as announced) a mix of highlights and the less beaten tracks. We want to give people a diverse picture of the city and its various neighbourhoods. That is also the charm of Brussels, its diversity and contrasts.
Our guide will certainly have tried to give an idea of the social and economic contrasts and structure of the city. It is true that Mauro is a socially committed guide and therefore pays attention to this fact. It seems to me to be an exaggeration to reduce him to a guide with a 'socialist point of view' who has problems with the upper and middle classes. He himself is part of the middle class.
