Brussels: City Highlights and Hidden Gems Bike Tour - The 210-Minute Loop: What You’ll Do and Why It Works

★★★★★★★★★★4.8 · 443 reviews · 3h 30m · from $41Our pick

Cycle Brussels by bike with a friendly guide, pick your ride, then pause for a local cafe break before sweeping through quiet neighborhoods.

“We really enjoyed this bike tour. The company is a non-profit organisation with their guides volunteering. It really came across that it is a passion for the guides and they do it as they live their city and love cycling. The pace was leisurely without being too slow so the very mixed ability group was well able to keep up. We visited a lot of the city and found things we never would have otherwise. The underground cemetery was a particular favourite! The bikes themselves were well maintained and easy to ride and we were matched to the right size before setting off. Highly recommend! Our guide even extended the…”

Tailored private Brussels walking tour with a local guide, UNESCO Grand Place, Manneken Pis, chocolate, beer, Atomium, and EU quarter.

“I had never been to Belgium, or any French/Dutch speaking country. I decided to take the Eurostar from London, and spend six hours in Brussels, so I wanted to ensure I could see as much as possible with someone knowledgeable during that time. A private guide was a great way to ensure this. After booking, I received a short survey to share my goals and become matched with a guide. I was introduced to Lawrence over email and we exchanged a message or two prior to my arrival. I sent her my WhatsApp information so we could communicate upon my arrival, and it was extremely easy to meet up as…”

Cycle Brussels in a 3.5-hour small-group ride to landmarks, industrial sites, and quieter neighborhoods, with bike and helmet included.

“This was a great tour, except that our guide kept going and did not even check on us during the ride. I think on a ride like this, they should provide water holders on the bike, I had to keep my water bottle with the guide and therefore could not take a drink anytime I wanted. Also, When I could not keep up, it was the other guests who helped me out and I eneded up crashing into a barrier and injuring my finger that is still healing after 4 months. If you don't regularly ride bikes, I would not recommend this. it is a 10 mile tour up and…”

★★★★★★★★★★4.7 · 25 reviews · 2 - 6 hours · from $74

Private local walk through Brussels highlights, street art, comics, beer, frites, and chocolate, tailored to your interests and pace.

“Laurence gave us a good tour of Brussels and we saw all the highlights and learned a lot. She was very very soft spoken and difficult to hear in our group of 7. She shared a lot of information with the person she was walking next to, rather than waiting on the group to gather and hear the information. As a result, a lot of information was shared with only one person. In the future I would suggest she use a microphone or only speak when she is paused and everyone can stand very close to her. (I am 38 and do not have hearing issues)”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 15 reviews · 4 hours (approx.) · from $203

A 4-hour Bruges food-and-history walk with free sights plus included beer, fries, and chocolate tastings, led in English.

“A wonderful walking tour of Bruges start to finish. We learned a lot about the history of Bruges and sampled some delicious treats. Our guide did a fabulous job of explaining Bruges' history from the Middle Ages onward. Standout treats were the meats and cheeses and the waffles. Our guide recommended that we have our waffle without any toppings as there is sugar in the dough, and oh my, he was 100% correct. We look forward to returning to Bruges to pick up where we left off.”
