This was a good tour since we had only a day to spend in Brussels. We got to see all the city highlights and were able to shop and get some good chocolates.

The problem with this tour was the bad guide named Frank who was mostly unintelligible,although very well informed.The places shown are better seen individually.It is a tour of two and a half hours and seems to be waste of money.The palace was shown as a drive by without any stoppage..

Great overview of Brussels. Really good for the first day of the first visit. If you've been before or done other tours, I might skip this one.

We did this tour on our first full day in Brussels. I think it was a great introduction to Brussels. The first 1/2 hour or so of the tour is a walking tour and the rest is on the bus. You do get to get off the bus a few times to take pictures. Our guide was lovely. The tour was in four languages though so you do need to be patient as it takes time to get through all the languages. I recommend this as a good introduction to Brussels.
It is very fast paced, but worth it. You get to visit one of the oldest malls and chocolate factories. I wish there was more time to walk around and explore, but for what it was, it was nice.

Their brochure stated that they conducted the tour in French, English and German. However, the tour guide never spoken English once during the tour, even when I reminded her that I only spoke English. I ended up using my mobile data to learn more about the places that we were visiting. 90% of the time, you were on the bus and there were only 3 stops for about 5 minutes which only gave you time to use the toilet. I would not recommend this tour unless you spoke French or German.
