THURSDAYS/ SUNDAYS ONLY IN SPANISH. FRIDAYS ONLY IN ENGLISH. During our guided tour, you will learn about the true importance of Belgian comics on the international scene, and which schools and authors have made their fame possible. You will learn about the "clear line" essential in French-Belgian comics and discover many of the murals dedicated to the 9th Art in the heart of Belgium. This tour is designed for people who know nothing about comics and those who are more familiar with this art. In addition to the murals, you will see Tintin's house (before he moved to the castle of Moulinsart) and the statue of The Smurfs hidden in plain sight. You will also discover new places in the center of Brussels that are not included in other guided tours, along with some of the stores where you can buy Belgian comics in your native language.

Hicimos el tour del cómic con Samuel y nos lo pasamos genial. El guía muy majo y entregado, sabía un montón. Además de ver los murales y poder sacarles fotos (hay un montón), nos iba contando cosas sobre la historia del cómic en Bélgica, sobre los autores... Un tour muy completo y original, para hacer algo diferente. Muy recomendable.

Un tour impresionante y súper didáctico incluso si no sois unos expertos en el cómic como yo. A mi amiga y a mí nos encantó, Samuel es un guía muy agradable e informado que nos explicó con detalle y de una manera amena la historia y evolución del comic, la idea errónea que muchos teníamos sobre él y el papel tan importante que tiene principalmente en Bélgica. Si coges el tour y nunca has sido un amante del comic, vas a empezar a interesarte por él!!
