Brussels Private Walking Tours with Expert Local Guides


Embark on a journey through Brussels with Context Travel's private walking tours where history, culture, and gastronomy converge to provide an unparalleled exploration of this vibrant city. Our Introduction to Brussels Tour is your gateway to understanding why Brussels is not just the political heart of Europe but a city rich with history, architecture, and cultural significance. Guided by a local historian, you'll delve into the medieval origins of Brussels, tracing its evolution through the cobblestone streets that once bustled with markets and now stand as a testament to centuries of Belgian life. From the majestic Grand Place, where every guild house tells a story of the city's guilds and past, to the Atomium, symbolizing Belgium's post-war optimism and scientific aspirations, this tour offers a comprehensive look at Brussels' multifaceted identity.

For those whose heart beats for food, our Brussels Food Tour: Beer, Chocolate, and Belgian Traditions is a culinary odyssey. Belgium's culinary landscape, influenced by its neighbors yet distinctly its own, comes alive as you taste the country's famed chocolates, not just as a delicacy but as an emblem of Belgian craftsmanship. You'll discover why Belgian beer isn't just a drink but a cultural phenomenon, with over 1,500 varieties, each telling a tale of tradition, innovation, and sometimes, monastic life. This tour isn't merely about tasting; it's about understanding the soul of Belgium through its cuisine, guided by food experts who unravel the stories behind each dish, from the indulgent chocolates to the hearty Belgian fries.

Join us on a private walking tour, and let Brussels reveal itself through its history, its food, and the warm hospitality of its people. These tours are your ticket to experiencing Brussels in-depth, where every step and every taste is an exploration of what makes this city truly special.

Francisco met if not exceeded our expectations in relation to our Brussels tour. His knowledge on the history of Brussels was extensive and highly interesting. It was great to hear of Belgium's rich, colourful history. We knew a bit from colonial times but were unaware of the many layers of culture and influence prior to this era. He also targeted the tour to include The Palace of Justice. Context Tours is very fortunate to have him on board. Vicki and Geoff Drozdowski
As noted in our review of the Introduction to Brussels tour, we did both tours with Francisco on the same day and had a great time, despite the off and on showers!
We did the introduction and foodie tours today with Francisco. We learned lots of history and enjoyed the favorite local’s foods. It was a pleasure to spend the day with Franciso. He is smart, well-traveled, and knows the city.
