The Best Tourist Attraction in Brussels & Antwerp: Beer Bike Tours That Locals Actually Love
Ask anyone who grew up around here what the real tourist attraction is, and they'll probably shrug at the bus tours and point you toward the beer bike. Since 2017 we've been rolling 8 beer bikes through Brussels and Antwerp, with groups of 7 to 19 people per bike — and up to 4 bikes at the same time when the whole office shows up. It's loud, it's friendly, and yes, your legs will know about it tomorrow.
This isn't a sit-down sightseeing bus. It's a proper outdoor adventure activity where you and your mates make the bike move (no electric motor, sorry) while our designated driver keeps you safe and the sound system keeps the party going.
Things to do — explore by tour type
Guided Tours, Bike Tours, and Cultural Experiences — All in One Ride
People search for "guided tours Brussels" or "bike tours Antwerp" and end up booking with us because we offer something different. Our Brussels tour starts at the Royal Palace (that's the meeting point, can't be changed), then rolls past Mont des Arts, Louise, the Palace of Justice at Place Poelaert, Porte de Namur and Trone. You get the landmark visits without the stiff museum vibe.
Quick honest note: the driver doesn't talk during the ride. This isn't a guided commentary tour — it's a private moving party that happens to roll past the most photogenic streets of the city. If you want the full guided sightseeing thing, we'll be straight with you, that's not us. If you want a city tour your group will actually enjoy, that's exactly us. Check out availability and get an instant booking confirmation.
Cultural Experiences Without the Boring Bits
You'll see the same landmarks the guided tours show — Royal Palace, Grand Place neighbourhood, Place Poelaert — but you'll see them while pedalling, laughing, and probably mid-song. That's a cultural experience too, just one you'll actually remember on Monday morning.
Adventure Tours, Outdoor Adventure Activities, Group Tours
Last summer half of the stag parties coming into Brussels asked us the same thing: "what's a real outdoor adventure activity for our group that isn't just another bar crawl?" The answer is almost always the beer bike. It's a group tour, it's an adventure tour, and it's outdoor — three boxes ticked on one booking.
Because we have 8 beer bikes, we can take groups up to 76 participants at once. That's 4 bikes rolling together, same playlist energy, same route. Big birthdays, team buildings, family reunions — we've done them all. If you want to rent multiple bikes, shoot us an email and we'll get back to you usually within 24h.
VIP Tours and Private Group Tours
Every beer bike rental with us is private — your group, your bike, your music. That's basically a VIP tour by default. No strangers joining, no fixed script, just you and your people. You can bring your own drinks too (alcoholic or not), we only provide beer as an option (unlimited for the rental time if you book it).
Night Tours in Brussels and Antwerp
We're open 7 days a week from 10 in the morning until 22:30, which means night tours are very much a thing. Brussels by night, lit up around the Mont des Arts and the Royal Palace, is one of those views that doesn't really translate to photos. Antwerp along the Scheldt after dark is the same story. Book a late slot and you'll see it.
Who's This Tourist Attraction Actually For?
- Stag dos and hen parties looking for landmark visits with a twist
- Birthday groups who want bike tours instead of another restaurant
- Companies booking team building or end-of-year group tours
- Tourists who want a real cultural experience, not a coach window view
- Locals who want to rediscover Brussels or Antwerp on two (lots of) wheels
What if it rains? What if half the group doesn't drink?
Two of the most common questions we get. The bikes have a big water-resistant roof, so rain doesn't cancel anything — Brussels weather basically demanded that feature. And we can accomodate everyone, drinkers and non-drinkers, pedallers and non-pedallers. You don't all have to pedal at once, only 10 seats actually drive the bike, the others are along for the ride.
