We had visited previously and had a really disappointing experience with another free tour, but our experience with this tour completely turned around our experience of Brussels! Our guide was great, I regret to say we were a few minutes late and didn't catch his name before the tour started, but he provided a great collection of historical and contemporary information in a well organized and cohesive tour. It was interesting and engaging throughout! We had a great time and really enjoyed the experience. Of the free tours available in Brussels, we recommend this one.

Very knowledgeable and helpful tour guide. She spoke clearly so we could all understand and I think everyone enjoyed the tour. We learned a lot from our guide. My only suggestion would be that, given that the tour was 2 1/2 hrs and that it was quite a hot day, a short break about halfway through would have made the experience an even better one, especially if we could have used a toilet and perhaps bought some water too. Perhaps this could be factored into future tours.

Diago was engaging and interesting and he tools us to a variety of place which gave us a good overview of Brussels. We all had fun and learnt a few interesting facts.
