And let us not forget to enjoy the food and beers! I have years of experience with guided tours for all target groups and ages. In Brussels I offer tours in the historic center of Brussels, around its Comic Strip walls, in the European Quarter, and I guide about difficult heritage and decolonization and about military heritage.

    Raf was an excellent driver/guide. This was an unusual tour because we just wanted to see places we had lived 40 years ago. Raf was very accommodating and made suggestions about how to best do what we wanted to do. Raf was easy to talk with. Excellent English. I would hire him again if the need arose.
