Tell Me Stories About Brussels
What's in a name? Stories... and Brussels. 

This is not just another history tour overloaded with details.
Our goal is to offer a fun experience where you get to know the city through the eyes of a local, with stories about the history, jokes about politics and, of course, not hiding the dark but important role the royal family played in the colonial history of Belgium.

What will we see on this tour?

Meeting point:
Grote Markt, 1000 Brussel, Belgium
You'll find your guide on Grand Place holding the YELLOW umbrella with AMBASSADORS on it 💛 There are other companies with yellow umbrellas too, so look for AMBASSADORS!
1
Outside visit
Grand Place / Grote Markt
Meet your storyteller with the yellow umbrella with AMBASSADORS on it. We'll start here with the introduction and show you the Town Hall and the beautiful guild houses.
2
Outside visit
Manneken Pis
Probably the most disappointing tourist attraction in the world. Yet it is the icon of Bruges and our local hero!
3
Outside visit
Bourse / Beurs (Stock Exchange)
This temple of finance was erected from 1868 to 1873. It has lost its function as a stock exchange, but will once more become a temple. We'll tell you of what.
