5.00Fraser was an excellent guide of Brussels. I had done a number of Sandemans tours before and I think he is a great example of the quality of the Sandemans guides. He was very knowledgeable and accessible, making the 2.5 hr tour fly by.
Poor experience

1.00The guide did not show up even though we waited 45 minutes. No obvious way to get a refund.

5.00Had a delightful experience on the free walking tour with Fraser, we immediately felt at ease and after the tour we spent the rest of the day discussing various things we’d learned. Fraser is a fountain of knowledge but also the most friendly person so you feel very comfortable to ask questions. 10/10 would recommend :)
One of the best tours I've joined

5.00Fraser was the best guide I've had for a city walking tour in a while! He was so informative and funny. Throughout the tour he interacted with the grouo and had us answering questions, playing games, and encouraged any questions we had. If you get a chance to do the free walking tour of Belgium, do it, and hope that you get Fraser for what might be the best tour you'll ever have!
Great tour!

5.00We joined this tour at the last minute as we walked through the Grand Place and saw it commencing. We were so glad we did. The tour leader, Fraser, led us on a beautifully constructed tour, with plenty of history, genuine knowledge, and a lot of laughter. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves, and signed up for the chocolate tour in the afternoon, which was brilliant too. I usually do a city walking tour on arrival in a new place. Having done quite a number over the years, I can say this is one of the best - probably THE best, I've ever done
Fantastic Tour
