Bad. Not a live guide like previous Hop-On tours I’ve done elsewhere. No instructions about which channel to dial for which language. At first, mine did not appear to work, so I switched seats. Long gaps in the commentary, so I wasn’t sure whether it was working. The connection seemed to cut out sometimes. I think the company has no... More

We enjoyed the tour and it was a great way to see parts of the city that we would not have been able to see in our 1 day in Brussels. It did seem that all they wanted to do was sell you a ticket. We had a hard time trying to find the bus stop from the man's directions... More

We paid 22 euros to do a hop on hop off tour of brussels using the city Sightseeing company which was valid for 24 hours. We picked up the bus at Place Louise and set off on a tour of about 12 stops. We sat on the top deck of the bus and took photos. The bus driver didnt really... More

There was hardly anyp commentary ( via headphone) on this awful tour, only rubbish music. The English translation was voiced by Bill Nighy (how long since he's had to do one of those, I wonder?) NOTHING was said at all when we stopped at the Atomium! Nothing on it's history, purpose, current attraction status. I think - the original commentary... More

We thought an open top bus sightseeing trip around Brussels was the best way to see the city as we've done in many other European Cities but this was AWFUL!!! The narration, via very uncomfortable headphones was uninformative, inaccurate and sounded to be 10 years out of date as it spoke about them going into the Euro soon as though... More

Stay away from this company. Their buses are only so-so and the headsets / communication systems are totally useless. There is only one route, despite what a driver tells you (we were told there were 4 before buying tickets). Worst part of our trip was this bus tour. More

Took a 9 hr us tour of Gent and Bruges with City Tours today. I would rate it a C-. The tour was multi- language so the guide had to repeat everything three times in Three languages. Most of the tour was free time, where on our own we did a Canal Tour. The guide had a tendency to walk... More

We chose this tour because we went on the tour of Oxford, England run by the same company earlier this year, and that was well run. We hopped on and off of the buses several times during the day and never had to wait more than a few minutes for a bus to pick us up. Most of the buses... More

I've been on excellent hop-on, hop-off tours in other U.S. and European cities and was quite disappointed in this one. None of the drivers seemed to know what to do. They left 30 minutes late and the recorded commentary wasn't working. After waiting for over an hour for pick-up, a bus came but the driver said I couln't get on... More
