Explore Bruges Beer Experience with an iPad audio guide, interactive tasting stations, market square views, and optional beer tasting.
“tutto ottimo, soprattutto per la presenza di un'audioguida in italiano non così scontata in Belgio. Per il resto se nel reparto bar ci fosse una più ampia scelta di cibo sarebbe molto apprezzato da chi predilige bere a stomaco pieno”
Make chocolate tablets, lollipops and mendiants at Choco-Story in Brussels, then enjoy a self-guided museum visit with tastings.
“Small group. Leader was very nice and showed us some tricks of the trade. You get plenty of chocolate! The museum was also interesting and informative. Good value for price.”
A self-guided audio scavenger hunt in Bruges with GPS, puzzles at 10 sights, flexible timing, and local tips, starting anytime.
“I had different expectations. You stick around the center too much. Also interesting but you often walk the same part in the center.Auto-translated”
Self-guided Romantic Bruges canal quest with smartphone clues, 15 stops, and views from Boniface Bridge to Lake of Love.
“SO much fun!! We saw all the highlights of the city while solving puzzles. The clues were well written and we enjoyed exploring the different stops!”
Walk Antwerp’s center with a phone GPS audio guide in 7 languages, 40 stops, and flex to finish within a day.
“Worthless. AI voice, computer generated, no stories or deep descriptions of what you’re seeing - you get better info off of plaques. Big phone drain and does t easily let you skip around.”
Self-guided Antwerp scavenger hunt with GPS audio and local tips, starting anytime 24/7 at Antwerpen-Centraal for $9.45.
“Loved it all! Not too short and not too long…the perfect amount of time! We really enjoyed the scavenger hunt aspect!”

“Mijn dochters zei dat het was toch echt leuker op zo manier door de stad te wandelen dan wat wij meestal zonder een speurtocht doen”
App-led Brussels scavenger hunt that guides you between top landmarks. About 3 hours, English plus 5 languages, no entry fees.
“Funny city tour with rally, we started from the Novotel Centrum, there was the start, walking distance too far (parliament), took an S-Bahn for 2,50€ per p. and started so relaxed. The rest of the route well within walking distance, many great corners that you would not otherwise see & discover. Puzzles very good level, exciting and solvable.Auto-translated”
Bruges self-guided smartphone audioguide walk, about 1 hour. Hit Poertoren, Minnewater, beguinage, Holy Blood Basilica and Belfort.
“Easy to download as long as you download the TouringBee app first. Audio is good and you can go at your own pace.”

“I could clearly understand the speaker. The map made it easy to follow. This is my first time doing an audio guide and I enjoyed it.”
Self-guided Brussels beer puzzle walk through classic bars and squares. Play offline, solve 12 clues, and wander at your pace.
“Guide/quiz makes no sense. We dropped to follow the route after 4 stops, because 3 of the stops were so poorly made/made no sense in neither the "in game" timeframe or "real life" timeframe, that we just had to give up. Examples: the answer to a question were equal to number of floors on the tallest building in a square. Answer was 6. The tallest modern building was actually 9 floors, and the tallest building in the time setting of the game was 4. No coherence...”
Self-guided Outside Escape game tour in Ghent. Solve puzzles at Vrijdagmarkt and St Bavo's Cathedral in about 2 hours.
“Leuk om op een andere manier de stad te verkennen. Zeer duur voor wat het is. Niet gemakkelijk, te vaak een hint nodig gehad. Het einde was er plots en kwam geen afluitende tekst.”
A self-guided Liege scavenger hunt with GPS audio, 10 outdoor stops, and puzzles that turn a 4.2 km walk into a fun city stroll.
“This is a walking guided tour that takes you to 10 interesting locations in Liège. At each one, there is a puzzle that you can solve by looking closely at the building or reading a nearby plaque. I definitely needed the hints in order to solve the puzzles, but with the hints, I was able to solve them all. Luckily, if you cannot solve a puzzle, you can still move forward using the skip button.”
Self-guided English audio walk in Leuven: town hall, KU Leuven, churches, beer sites and squares, ending at Fonske. Offline access.
“Excellent self-paced walking tour of Leuven. Clear, informative, interesting narration. Ability to pause tour and go into buildings along the route, saving having to retrace steps to return. Really enjoyed this tour.”
Walk medieval Brussels to modern culture on a $9.99 self-guided route with offline VoiceMap audio, key sights, and great views.
“Tour narration kept jumping and repeating information continually regardless of which stop we were at. We abandoned it in the end and just made our own way.”
