CitySightseeing Open tours has two bus tours of Brussels. I took a chance and bought a 24 hour ticket for 23 euro. I had walked all over the day before and wanted to see more but did not know public transit. Very nice tour. Free headsets. Duck when tree branches come over. Good audio tour and they stop at key places for pictures. It was well worth the euro and time. My advice is to go early and get off and enjoy the locations they go to. It's a good all day adventure and I'm picky. Wear sunscreen though. Lesson learned the wrong way. It's a bit breezy up top too. Dress for the weather minus a few degrees. Have fun. Tip the driver. He gets you into places I would not take a bicycle. read more

Taking the City Sightseeing Brussels bus tour was wonderful! I bought a 24 hour pass and took both routes. I liked bus route 1 better (it goes to the atom building) but both routes were worth it. They provide earbud headphones so the audio of the tour is in many different languages. I stopped back at my hotel to grab some headphones I brought with me before the 2nd bus tour & they fit in the headphone jack on the bus fine. (More comfortable than earbuds.) The routes both take 75 minutes each - if you don't hop off at any of the stops. As others have mentioned, you'll be in awe of how the huge double decker bus can navigate tiny streets. I highly recommend this tour when you're visiting Brussels for a great overview of the city. read more

Open Tours - Bus Route #1 - Groot-bijgaarden, VBR

Although I always choose this type of hop on hop off tour whenever I am in a new city I was not impressed with this one. My reasoning is not because of the actual tour or what is included and explained but rather the super short winter hours. As a tourist I want to do tours during day light and into the evening because the city changes and the scenes in the evening are much more dramatic. The hours for this tour were very short and totally defeated the purpose of seeing the city at night. There is nothing available in the evening which is a big mistake! read more

This is definitely worth trying if you are in Bruxelles for a day or two . Though it is not that adventurous and pro active , it is worth trying because they explain it in much detail about the culture and history of the city . Though it is just 75 mins of tour it give a good idea of the city I will suggest only if you have time crunch and want to travel the whole city quickly read more

In every city we visit we use this company. Often we are only in a place for a day or two and we want to see as much as we can. If you have used this company before, it is pretty typical. Free headphones, maps and fun commentary on the city and what you are seeing. I will say the the arrival times were very I consistent and sometimes they did not stop in the right spot causing us to run to catch the bus. All in all worth the money. read more

My worst experience ever! The female bus driver I met last Sunday was in my opinion the most unkind person to imagine. Not only she seemed to me unable to cope with her customers, with the money issue or with the fact guests would like to have some explanations of the provided tour, but also she was insulting, talking in poor words and more shouting than talking in a polite and calm way. People were either laughing about her or angry about the way she acted. A few days later I tried to reach a supervisor in the company in order to complain via email. Unfortunately I could´t reach anyone via the public info email-address. Then I contacted the company´s headquarter in London - no reaction (perhaps an apology) until now. I totally can´t recommend this tour to anyone with this very driver. The very unkind bus driver wasn´t even willing to tell her name. So everybody can think about the reasons of that for himself. I totally can´t recommend this tour! Perhaps another driver is able to give this tour a higher standard. But this one totally not. read more
