★★★★★★★★★★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.”

“grande fregatura!! in quanto l audioguida già parziale comprendeva tutta la parte dell armeria e locali associati ( cucina, biblioteca ecc) tutti chiusi . Pagato un biglietto di 32 euro inutilmente quando avrei potuto pagarne 18! non utilizzerò mai più questa app”

See Cauchie House, Square Ambiorix, Hôtel Solvay, and other Belle Époque buildings. The private tour runs in English, French, Dutch, or Spanish, with public transport and entrance fees extra.

“Eric gave my family of three a 3+ hour tour, and all of it was fascinating since he was knowledgeable about the intersectionality and overlapping styles and influences of architecture on a global level.

I could see that he could also ramp up even more for even bigger experts, but his pace and storytelling were engaging. He tailored the tour stops based on our interests and shared interesting details about each stop.
