Plan Your Travel With The People Who Know!

Brussels

Day Trip, Group Tour
Offer Image
Begin your day with a picturesque drive through the Dutch countryside and the heart of Belgium to Brussels, the capital city.

Brussels

Departing from metropolitan Amsterdam, a professional guide will accompany you while providing detailed information about the beautiful sights in view as you approach Brussels, the capital and largest city in Belgium.

Upon arrival, you will be provided a short but comprehensive bus tour, where you will see the tomb of the unknown soldier and the imposing Royal Palace of Brussels. Continue to the amazing Atomium, the largest iron atom in the world and the symbol of Brussels, constructed in 1958 as a part of the World Exhibition. Marvel at the Basilica of the Sacred Heart, one of the ten largest cathedrals in the world, that began construction in 1905 and finished two world wars later in 1965.

Make your way next to the historic old city center, where your guide will lead you on a walking tour to find the well-known statue Mannekepis, the headquarters of the European Union, the illustrious Royal Palace, the 16th century Market Square, and many other famous landmarks. Your walking tour will last approximately 1 hour.

During your 3 hours in the city, which is the unofficial capital of Europe, you will get a demonstration by a chocolatier and get the change to taste some famous Belgian chocolate.

At the end of the guided portion of the tour, there will also be time for you to explore on your own. Do some souvenir shopping, and remember to try the famous waffles. Indulge in a delicious Belgian beer, and take a seat to watch the daily life of the city pass by you.

About Shore Excursions Group

ABOUT US
Shore Excursions Group was created with one goal in mind: to provide exceptional travel experiences to cruise passengers in the ports they visit around the world. To accomplish this, we have compiled an exceptional array of tours delivered by local experts with decades of experience serving travelers and delivering excellent tours. Our owners and management team are comprised of seasoned travel industry executives who leverage their considerable experience to deliver memories of a lifetime.

We are experts in providing exceptional shore excursions. We understand that in today's fast paced world, vacations have become an increasingly important way to relax, reconnect with family and friends, and experience new and interesting places. With this in mind, we provide the highest quality tours by performing extensive research, and detailed reviews. While other companies also offer excursions, we strongly believe our expertise and approach set us apart. The large cruise lines sell shore excursions - typically in very large groups visiting high traffic sites. We focus on smaller groups visiting more interesting and authentic locations using more personalized local operators. While the cruise lines are experts in delivering cruises, we are experts in delivering shore excursions.

Our Approach
We believe quality service is not only highly valued by customers, but ultimately leads to better experiences and higher satisfaction. Unlike the cruise lines and other tour companies that rely almost entirely on websites, we encourage customers to call us. We want to invest our time answering your questions, providing input, and selecting the excursions that best meet your needs.

Our Tours
Our goal is to provide customers a wide array of exciting, appealing, and enriching tours. For those customers who prefer to travel in smaller groups with more personalized service, we offer a wide variety of small group tours around the world. These tours generally range in size from 2-12 people compared to larger tours which can number up to 50 people. While exploring the destinations and ports on this website, feel free to search for these "Small Group Tours". For those customers interested in private tours, we offer many outstanding excursions that allow you to travel with your party alone and, in many cases, to fully customize your tour. Search for "Private Tours" if you are interested in this experience. Our "Scenic" tours provide up close and personal access to some of the most spectacular natural environments on Earth from majestic glaciers in Alaska to spectacular reefs in the Caribbean. Our "Cultural" tours allow customers to experience local customs, entertainment and culinary delights ranging from tribal dances in Alaska to an outstanding local meal in Santorini, Greece. Our "Active" tours offer a multitude of exciting and adventurous ways to experience our destinations. Our customers can kayak the turquoise waters of the Caribbean, hike to a spectacular waterfall in Hawaii, or bicycle through quaint villages in France. Our "City" tours allow travelers to see the highlights of great cities around the world with unique insights provided by our expert tour guides.

Our People
In our experience, exceptional travel experiences are almost always delivered by exceptional people. With that in mind, we utilize a comprehensive approach to select and employ the leading tour guides and tour providers around the globe. We hold our people to very high standards which we measure by our comprehensive Quality Control process and, most importantly, by our customer feedback, which we will actively seek from each of our customers.
