This is not a free tour... and that makes a difference.
At Curiositas Mundus we offer quality tours, with small groups, prepared guides and a careful experience.
You reserve your place for only €3 (management costs) and, at the end of the tour, make a direct payment to the guide according to the experience. The recommended contribution is €16 per person, with a minimum contribution of €6 to ensure that the work of the guide is paid.
This model prevents massing and offers a clearer, closer and more interesting route.
Beyond the format, this tour is designed to understand Brussels : its evolution, its contrasts and the stories that hide behind its most emblematic places.
It includes historical context, curiosities and clear explanations that will allow you to see the city with different eyes.
In about 2 hours you will walk through the key points of the historic center with a complete and well structured view.
If you’re looking for more than just a cursory visit, this tour is for you.
