Muy recomendable este tour para ver la otra cara de Bruselas!! Con Alfredo vivimos un repaso histórico y político a la evolución de Europa. Adaptó la visita por el mal tiempo, con la visita al hemiciclo. Con anécdotas y recomendaciones de ocio, muy entretenido. Translate this opinion into English.

Highly recommended this tour to see the other side of Brussels!! With Alfredo we lived a historical and political review of the evolution of Europe. He adapted the visit due to the bad weather, with the visit to the chamber. With anecdotes and leisure recommendations, very entertaining. Opinion translated. Show original.

El guía que nos tocó, chavi, es encantador. Sabe muchísimo, lo explica todo de maravilla. Tiene mucho conocimiento sobre la cultura de Bélgica y sobre la UE. Nada que ver con la guía del free tour de Bruselas. Sin duda de los mejores tours que hemos hecho. Translate this opinion into English.

The guide we had, Chavi, is charming. He knows a lot, explains everything wonderfully. He has a lot of knowledge about the culture of Belgium and the EU. Nothing to do with the Brussels free tour guide. Without a doubt one of the best tours we have done. Opinion translated. Show original.

Hemos tenido la suerte de repetir con Edu (hicimos el tour navideño con él) y ha hecho ameno e interesante un tour complejo de explicar de manera neutral y que en principio parecía aburrido en cuanto a contenido. Lo veo imprescindible y lo recomiendo sin duda Translate this opinion into English.

We have been lucky enough to repeat with Edu (we did the Christmas tour with him) and he has made a tour that was complex to explain in a neutral way and that at first seemed boring in terms of content, enjoyable and interesting. I see it as essential and I recommend it without a doubt. Opinion translated. Show original.

Hicimos el tour con Cristina y la verdad que nos resultó súper interesante. A pesar de ser información “densa”, el tour resultó muy ameno y entretenido. Muy recomendable si te interesa entender un poco todo el entramado de la Unión Europea, desde su creación hasta cómo funciona a día de hoy. Translate this opinion into English.

We did the tour with Cristina and the truth is that we found it super interesting. Despite being “dense” information, the tour was very enjoyable and entertaining. Highly recommended if you are interested in understanding a little about the entire framework of the European Union, from its creation to how it works today. Opinion translated. Show original.

Nos ha gustado bastante, nuestra guía ha sido Ana y tenía gran conocimiento sobre la historia de Europa y ha sido muy amena. El único problema es que ha habido tramos donde no hemos podido oír nada de sus explicaciones, le falta un altavoz para mejorar este inconveniente. Gracias!! Translate this opinion into English.

We really liked it, our guide was Ana and she had great knowledge about the history of Europe and was very pleasant. The only problem is that there have been sections where we have not been able to hear any of their explanations, it lacks a speaker to improve this inconvenience. Thank you!! Opinion translated.

Tour interesante que se queda corto por la cantidad de información que se desprende de la temática UE. Alfredo se nota que controla la materia aunque por momentos es poco serio y no creo que deba hacer comentarios sobre el funcionamiento interno del negocio de los free tour

Interesting tour that falls short of the amount of information that emerges from the EU theme. Alfredo clearly controls the matter, although at times he is not very serious and I do not think he should comment on the internal functioning of the free tour business.

Los guías se esfuerzan por amenizar los contenidos del tour buscando la complicidad del grupo con alguna broma o comentario personal. Sentimos si este, en concreto, se excedió en este o en cualquier otro aspecto. Seguiremos trabajando para mejorar. Translate this opinion into English.

The guides make an effort to liven up the contents of the tour, seeking the complicity of the group with a joke or personal comment. We are sorry if this one, in particular, went too far in this or any other aspect. We will continue working to improve. Opinion translated. Show original.

Hemos realizado esta actividad y si quieres ver algo diferente de lo que el típico recorrido de Bruselas es muy recomendable. El paseo lo hemos hecho con Cristina que sin duda ha sido el punto clave. ¡Es una máquina! Sabe muchísimo y lo hace todo muy muy ameno. Hemos viajado por diferentes ciudades de Europa haciendo Freetour y Cristina está en nuestro top 3 sin duda. Queremos dejarle por aquí el comentario porque se lo curra mucho y se nota. ¡Gracias de verdad! Translate this opinion into English.

We have done this activity and if you want to see something different from the typical Brussels tour it is highly recommended. We did the walk with Cristina, which has undoubtedly been the key point.

We want to leave you a comment here because you put a lot of effort into it and it shows. Thank you very much! Opinion translated. Show original.

Excelente experiencia gracias a nuestro guía Edu. Gran persona y profesional, muy conocedor de la materia que explicaba y disfrutaba con ello. No ha Tenido prisa en ningún momento y contestaba cada cuestión que se le planteaba. Ha realizado un tour muy dinámico y hacia participar al grupo. Recomendable 100% y un 10 para Edu. Como no ya negativa, el comportamiento de alguna familia que han desaparecido, provocando inconvenientes en todas y remuneración al guía. Lamentable. Translate this opinion into English.

As no longer negative, the behavior of some families that have disappeared, causing inconvenience to all and compensation to the guide. Regrettable. Opinion translated. Show original.

Excelente Alfredo, nuestro guía, terriblemente involucrado en que tod@s tuviéramos la mayor información posible del free tour. Sus conocimientos sobre la historia de la cuidad hasta los datos políticos-económicos que manejaba, han sido inmejorables. El hecho de haber trabajado dentro del parlante yo europeo ha sido de gran ayuda.. ¡hasta nos ha recomendado películas ! Translate this opinion into English.

Excellent Alfredo, our guide, terribly involved in ensuring that everyone had as much information as possible about the free tour. His knowledge of the history of the city, including the political-economic data he handled, has been unbeatable. The fact of having worked within the European speaking self has been of great help... he has even recommended movies to us! Opinion translated. Show original.

Si cabe en una simple frase, está es "Todo perfecto". El guía, Alfredo, es amplio conocedor de la materia y es capaz, con gran simpatía y de un modo extraordinariamente amigable, hacer llegar conocimientos y detalles relevantes que permiten conocer el como y porqué de la estructura social del barrio y de las personas que en el conviven. Una magnífica experiencia. Un diez por Alfredo! Translate this opinion into English.

If it fits into a simple sentence, it is "Everything perfect." The guide, Alfredo, is very knowledgeable about the subject and is able, with great sympathy and in an extraordinarily friendly way, to provide knowledge and relevant details that allow us to know the how and why of the social structure of the neighborhood and the people who live in it. he coexist.

La guía muy buena, nos dio mucha información sobre la historia de la Unión europea y sus instituciones. La excursión duró menos de lo anunciado y terminó en otro punto del barrio europeo (no en el parque del Cincuentenario como decía en la reserva). Estaba lloviendo y quizás la guía la acortó por ese motivo. Excursión muy interesante Translate this opinion into English.

The guide was very good, he gave us a lot of information about the history of the European Union and its institutions. The excursion lasted less than what was announced and ended in another point of the European quarter (not in the Parque del Cincuentenario as it said in the reservation). It was raining and maybe the guide cut it short for that reason. very interesting tour Opinion translated. Show original.

Tour muy largo. La guía muy bien en sus explicaciones, pero no sé la oía en ocasiones por encontrarnos muy cerca del tráfico rodado y por no usar altavoz (por lo que sugerimos que se use en los próximos tours como elemento imprescindible y de mejora) Translate this opinion into English.

Very long tour. The guide very well in her explanations, but I don't know I could hear her sometimes because we were very close to road traffic and for not using a loudspeaker (so we suggest that it be used in the next tours as an essential element and for improvement) Opinion translated.
