9 3-Hour Experiences in Belgium Worth Booking

1.Brussels 3-Hour Guided Art Nouveau Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 282 reviews · 3 hours · from $35Our pick

Spend three hours tracing Brussels Art Nouveau from the Grand-Place to the Bailli district and Victor Horta Museum. A local guide such as Maria explains Horta, Hankar, van de Velde, and others, using photos to show interiors you cannot enter. The route includes a tram ride, uphill walking, and exterior visits only.

“We did the tour with Maria who was an exceptional guide with a huge wealth of knowledge on the Art Nouveau period and also some fascinating personal insights and theories about that period from her own research. She delved into the links between the Art Nouveau movement and political parties of the time and we left with some of her lovely photo postcards. A really enjoyable experience with some very intelligent discourse.”

5.Beer Tasting and Scavenger Hunt in Brussels – About 3 Hours

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 35 reviews · 3 hours (approx.) · from $40

Explore central Brussels with a puzzle booklet rather than a live guide. Start at Rue de l'Ecuyer 5, solve clues around Grand Place, Manneken Pis, and the Queen's Gallery, and visit bars for Belgian beer tasting. The private format suits your own group, but the map and clues require patience.

“THIS IS A SELF GUIDED TOUR! You are required to figure out puzzles to get to the next step which is a neat idea but can be very frustrating if you miss a facade or something on a wall. I wasn’t aware it was self guided and would have appreciated if it was in the description as I wouldn’t have booked knowing it was the way it is. The beers at the various bars were good but were half pints. You are provided with a book full of puzzles and it has the answers and a map that’s very hard to read.”

9.Private 3-hour walking tour of Bruges with official tour guide

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 3 reviews · from $178

Spend three hours exploring Bruges with an official private guide and only your own party. Begin at the Markt, pass the Belfort, Town Hall, Provinciaal Hof, and Saint Salvator Cathedral, then visit the Basilica of the Holy Blood and Church of Our Lady. Hotel pickup in central Bruges is available on request.

“Il m’a manqué une présentation historique de la ville de Bruges et de son rayonnement. La promenade n’était pas construire. La langue française de la guide était très approximative. La guide ne semblait pas passionnée et n’était donc pas passionnante. Nous avons été déçus. La guide était trop âgée pour une visite de 3h en hiver.”
