Very Large Old Buildings - Was a great way to see Brussels if you have limited time. A long day, but the Grand Place was magnificent. Our driver Galvin was on time , friendly, had good driving skills and had good suggestions on wat to see.

Great sightseeing, Great driver! - We had a wonderful experience. Our driver, Hamza, was helpful in giving us tips and suggestions to explore for our day in Brussels. We saw all the things we wanted to see on our itinerary. He was a very safe driver and he was timely and professional. Could not recommend a better person for the job!

VIP Service in Brussels with Gavin - We had a wonderful time with Gavin for our day trip to Brussels! It was definitely a VIP service from start to finish. He brought us to all major landmarks in Brussels and even took photos of us. We went to the Grand Place and he recommended to us the best spots to go, which we truly enjoyed. Definitely a top-notch experience with Gavin.

WORTH THE DRIVE - Considering it rained the entire day and traffic was horrible, we had a great time!! Gavin was awesome and gave us some great tips on a great place for lunch, which was AMAZING and the best place to buy chocolates, which we did. He even gave us some extra time in old town since it took us soooo long to get there! Highly recommend!!

Highly recommend with Gavin driving. - The trip was seamless. Gavin, our guide, had the day planned through a very relaxed but thorough schedule. Brussels is an extremely beautiful and historic city and Gavin took us to all that count and then some. Plus Gavin is an excellent driver who ushered us all around the city and drove smoothly through variable conditions from sunshine to blinding thunderstorms.

Comfortable & Efficient way to visit Brussels - Wonderful experience. We were picked up at exactly the time stayed right at the hotel. The comfort of the Mercedes, complete with phone chargers, Wi-Fi and water made it so convenient to just sit back and ride. It’s about 2.5 hr trip there and 3 hrs to return. Bring euro coins because most of the toilets require change to use. First stop is the Atomium (buy ticket in advance let’s you skip the line) and then to Our Lady of Laeken, The Royal Palace of King Philippe, St Michael’s Catholic Church and then end with three hours to walk, shop and eat on your own at Grand Place. Before you go off on your own we got recommendations for dining, chocolates and waffles that were superb! Of course you can eat anywhere you want to! Nice ride back where we basically too a well needed nap!

Bummer day trip to Brussels - I will start by saying we caused a delay of starting the tour because some of our group had been taken to the wrong hotel by a taxi. The delay was 20 minutes. We thought the private tour for 9 people would be in the same vehicle. We were split up in two vehicles which was a disappointment as the trip was about getting together with friends to share an experience. One of the two drivers did not speak English beyond a few phrases and therefore did not speak a word from Amsterdam to Brussels. Even when we made our stops, we had no description of where we were and the significance of the stop. Such a beautiful drive through the city of Brussels, but the lack of commentary sucked the life out of that experience. The guide who could speak English was unable to answer even basic questions. When we asked for a lunch recommendation for our 2 hour 15 minute stop in central/old town Brussels, we were told there were restaurants “everywhere”. Our three-hour city stay was cut short which made up for the delay of starting, but the last two stops on the itinerary were eliminated without notice. Very disappointed. No way we could ask why because our driver didn’t speak English and the other guy was in another van. To the credit of both, they were nice. We tipped them both well in spite of our terrible experience. I know there will be some pushback on this review, but bad is bad. The worst they can stay about us is that we walk slow and we were 20 minutes late starting. Other reviews of this same tour had informative and friendly guides who made the experience memorable. We opted for the private tour because two of our travelers are over 80 and a few have mobility issues which we noted from the beginning. We know we are slower and don’t like holding others up. Overall, bummer day for all.

Too far a drive to see very little. - The atonement is not worth seeing, the park is not worth seeing. The church and the center of Brussels is nice but too long a drive from Amsterdam for just that.
