We will end this visit by enjoying local pastries in a hystorical farm.

Iker, Spain, Gijón I liked the tour very much, the program had been informative and interesting. I liked Waterloo. Mike's work is good. This tour is not the first for me, but I never met such interesting guide. I want to travell with him once again.
In general, the impressions from the excursion in Waterloo are good, it is a very interesting place. The Panorama, the Wellington Museum, "Le Caillou" farm - everything is very interesting and you feel like you are in that 1815. Magnificent.
John Zauderer, United States, I just wanted to provide some excellent feedback on our Waterloo tour guide Michael Eyns from Belgium. We spent a day with Michael last week visiting the key sites around Waterloo. He also took us for lunch to a fantastic historic farm restaurant and a medieval castle. We were travelling with our 2 sons (ages 11 & 5) and Michael made the whole experience enjoyable for them as well as us. He is friendly, knowledgable and made sure that we saw the key sites in the area. I have a much greater appreciation for the Battle of Waterloo as a result, and my sons will no doubt remember their day with Michael when they study Napoleon in school. Kudos to him and also glad to know about your site as we travel a lot and use private guides frequently. Best, John

We recently commemorated our Millennium, I wouldn't confirm the date, due to many controversies, but, for sure, Brussels has reports of churches built in the second part of the 10th Century. Most probably, the town really started to grow around a bridge built on The Senne, river crossing Brussels. Don't get confused with The Seine crossing Paris!
