Hi, I am Raf, and welcome to Brussels! A native Belgian, I moved to Brussels in 2008. In a nutshell: I am a freelance guide in the city & multiple museums, a freelance musician, and a lover of history and languages. Originally from the Flemish countryside, I have gotten pretty engaged with this city, through my work as a guide in museums and out on the streets, as a musician (cathedral singer), as a coworker, teacher,... Brussels has a rich history, beautiful architecture, lively church communities, great musicians, myriads of languages, colourful minorities, major political institutions... To me, it has been the source of countless opportunities and experiences, discoveries, and yes, challenges too - as in life, so in Brussels. I would be happy to be your guide, and tailor a visit to your needs as good as possible. Please remember that all my tours can be customized according to your requests. Let's have a chat!

Overview of your Brussels tour
Brussels is a city with over 1,000 years of history. Its historic center is home to a remarkable concentration of beautiful buildings from many different eras. Today, Brussels is a vibrant and dynamic capital with a truly international population and a rich cultural and social life. I’m a native Belgian and longtime Brussels resident, fluent in the local languages. For the past 15 years, I’ve been guiding visitors through the heart of the city, tailoring my tours to suit a wide range of audiences—young and old, local and international. I also work as a guide in several of the city’s museums. If you join me on this tour, Brussels will reveal all its secrets to you—and more! We’ll explore as many highlights as possible, including the Grand Place, the Galeries Royales, the Cathedral of St. Michael and St. Gudula, the Royal Palace, and more. And of course... there will be chocolate! After all, it’s scientifically proven to boost your mood—so why not indulge?
