Have a nice holiday

O8986YMtanjaw, Nov 2025

We had a wonderful holiday. Clean rooms, good food and a fun entertainment team, which motivates you to participate in sports and games. This was a nice change from enjoying the beach and sea.

Thank you!

Interesting and worthwhile trip with Robin

mattfB1166OQ, Oct 2025

Had a great time with Robin in a group of seven seeing sights I had not even heard of. While some dismiss Brussels, I got a great insight and felt much more knowledgeable about the city afterward. Just the right amount of context and explanation, and very helpful with questions. Encouraged a good group dynamic as well, letting guests get into their areas of interest. Some parts were a bit hilly, more difficult for some of the less-agile riders, but never a serious obstacle, never for long periods, and always worthwhile. Plenty of bike lanes, and traffic was only an infrequent nuisance. Well maintained bikes as well. I certainly felt it was worth the price, and would recommend to any casual visitor trying to understand the city with an average level of fitness.

Thank you for taking the time to write us a review! We are thrilled to hear that you had an amazing bike tour with Robin while discovering the city of Brussels! It truly is a perfect tour to gain insight into what Brussels has to offer and to explore its rich and fascinating history. Our tour covers a distance of 13 kilometers and includes only three uphill stretches. According to Google Maps, the first uphill stretch is 50 meters long, the second is 80 meters long, and the third is 187 meters long. We walk our bikes up the first two hills, but for the third uphill stretch, we cycle up and let our guests know they are welcome to walk if they prefer. Enjoy your time in Brussels, and take care!

Extensive bike tour in central Brussels

FwaysGreens, Oct 2025

We went on a tour with Kobus (?) our guide and a few other couples. It wasn't the nicest day out which I think detracted some from the tour. Definitely try to do it on a nice day if you can. I liked how they kept it to a relatively small number of people on the tour. The tour starts in the Grand Place then you walk to the central station and pick up the bikes. It really is quite extensive and you see many of the famous big buildings in Brussels (Justice, EU headquarters, royal palaces, etc.) as well as go through some of the nice city parks. Kobus was very friendly and easy-going, and he told us all about the places we were visiting. Just past halfway through you stop to get fries and a drink, and to use the bathroom. This is definitely an urban tour through a big busy city. I likely would not recommend it for someone who is not comfortable on a bicycle or for younger children. I always felt safe and fine, but we had to maneuver a little here and to avoid traffic and people quite a few times. It would have been neat to get a sheet of paper with a map of the city that shows all the places we went and the route we took (just a suggestion).

Thank you for taking the time to write us a review! We are thrilled to hear that you had an amazing experience exploring the city of Brussels by bike with Kobus. It's wonderful to know that, despite the Belgian weather, you still had a fabulous time! Since this bike tour takes place in an urban environment, we do require participants to feel comfortable cycling in the city. Thank you for your recommendation; we will discuss this further internally. Enjoy your time in Brussels, and take care!

The guide is very good...

The guide is very good and the party is very small. Please note that this activities require stamina as a lot of cycling with uphill and downhill
