Brussels - quick and easy
Catherine_S, Apr 2024
Cloe is very kind, pleasant and made sure we saw and did most of the items in our list. She took care of us during the tour. However, she knows very little about the important spots that she had to research about these when asked about these.
Response from Host, May 2024
Hi Catherine, It's wonderful to hear that Cloe provided attentive and caring service throughout the tour. However, we apologize for any inconvenience caused by her lack of knowledge and we'll work with Cloe to ensure she's better informed and prepared to address such inquiries in the future. We're eagerly looking forward to your next visit, where we'll strive to match you with the perfect host and exceed your expectations. Warm regards, Ruslan and the City Unscripted Team.
Could’ve done this on our own
Karen_H, Apr 2024
Our guide was lovely but we were expecting an English speaking guide…ours was very hard to understand. I understand that we are the tourists and there may be a language barrier but we have done a few of these in other countries and have always been pleased. This we could have done on our own.
Response from Host, May 2024
Hi Karen, We appreciate your feedback and apologize for any inconvenience caused by the language barrier. Clear communication is paramount to us, and we understand its significance in ensuring a positive experience. We'll address this issue internally to ensure a smoother experience for our guests. We've reached out to you directly to make things right and we'd love to change your perspective by matching you with the perfect local host on your next adventure. Warm regards, Ruslan and the City Unscripted Team.
Great knowledge of the history of Brussels
Ian_M, Apr 2024
Bruno was a great guide with an in-depth knowledge of the history of Brussels. Bruno was on time and we enjoyed our time.

I am so happy to hear you had a great time with Bruno! Think of us next time you travel, we have a network of over 1,200 hosts around the world.
Amazing!
Tania, Apr 2024
My brilliant tour guide, Asefeh, left no stone unturned, in making this an absolutely wonderful experience for me! She was incredibly knowledgable about the city and I enjoyed everything she had to share with me. We covered many sites in Brussels, with ample time at each one, and she made sure I was comfortable at all times. I would highly recommend this tour to everyone!
Response from Host, Apr 2024
Thank you for your glowing review! Your recommendation means a lot to us, and we hope to welcome you back for more unforgettable experiences in the future!
Fantastic Brussels Experience
Joe_K, Apr 2024
A great, fast paced (at our request) tour of all of the highlights in Brussels. Our guide (Sepehr) was extremely personable and knowledgeable of the city. He offered great perspective, and we saw far more than we would have been able to on our own, while offering a very personalized touch.
Response from Host, Apr 2024
Thank you for your feedback! We're thrilled to hear that you enjoyed your tour of Brussels with Sepehr. It's fantastic to know that he provided a fast-paced tour tailored to your preferences and covered all the highlights of the city. We're delighted that Sepehr's knowledge and personalized touch enhanced your experience, allowing you to see more than you would have on your own.

Made the most of a QUICK visit :)
Karmen_B, Dec 2023
My daughter and I spent an awesome afternoon with our guide Francis…despite the rain & being slightly under the weather, we had a truly great experience! We only spent a day in Brussels, but Francis made sure we got a solid overview of the city history & visited many local sights (e.g., Manneken pis, Grand Place, Lady of Sablon, Royal Palace, Comic museum, etc.) Francis was truly flexible to our interests, energy level & time. We even stopped for frites & waffles. 5 stars experience, hopefully we can visit again with more time to explore.
Response from Host, Dec 2023
Hello Karmen, our team truly appreciates your glowing feedback! It warms our hearts to hear Francis enhanced your experience. Thanks for recommending us and hope to see you on another adventure soon!

Beautiful tour with a superb guide
John_L, Nov 2023
Sep, our tour guide was wonderful. Knowledgeable and super personable, he showed us Brussels. He was in contact prior to the tour and helped personalize the experience. Before our trip I frankly knew little about this beautiful city. Sep taught us so much. Many thanks!!
Response from Host, Nov 2023
Hi John, thanks so much for your kind words. We're overjoyed to hear you had such an outstanding experience. Can't wait to welcome you back for another adventure!
Great highlights tour!
Megan_G, Oct 2023
Majid was extremely knowledgeable and due to some cancellations, we wound up with a private tour for the three of us. We covered a lot of ground and he did a fantastic job talking us through the sights and getting us around the city to see the highlights.

Everything you Ever Wanted to Know About Brussels
Lois_R, Oct 2023
Sepehr, our tour guide was exceptionally knowledgeable and professional. He made our 3 hour tour enjoyable and fun while also making sure we learned all of the highlights of Brussels. A wonderfully balanced walking tour. I would definitely recommend Sepehr to anyone planning this tour.
Gent and Bruges was great
k6r6gwfwxn, Oct 2023
Yan was one of the most informative guides he had over the last few weeks. Really was knowledgeable in every place we went. Also had the best driver. Highly recommend
Walid was the PERFECT guide thru-and-thru!
Kevin_S, Oct 2023
This was my first time back to Brussels in over 30 years and Walid really brought this re-introduction to the city to a whole new level. His knowledge of the history and politics and people in a city he's called home - nearly all his life - was an absolute amazing addition while showing me the key tourist sights and giving me a perfect overview of how to best navigate the city. He approached the tour with enthusiasm and verve that is so seldom seen among guides. I can't express my gratitude enough.
Worth every penny
Ann_B, Sep 2023
I highly recommend this experience. 1-1 guide worth every penny. We covered a lot of ground and I learned a great deal of history in 2 hours. Guide was well organized and great English
