Amazing tour!! Definitely would recommend. The tour guide was great, told us about striking secrets of the city, showed us all the spots in the town you wouldn’t normally notice and also gave us great advices what to visit.

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

Llegué al punto de encuentro, no estaba el paragüas rojo indicado por ningun lado. Escribi al Chat 10 min antes y nadie me respondió. Me quedé esperando allí y no recibí respuesta. Decepcionante.
