The excursion

Follow the guide through the city's picturesque streets, where walls have ears and stones keep secrets. Crimes of passion, vicious murders, spectacular escapes: the stories shook public opinion and left their mark on Brussels forever. Each case is set in its era: the characters, the police investigations, the trials and the sometimes cruel sentences, in strict accordance with the facts. This is not a continuation of the first Crime Tour: it tells five completely different cases.

Crimes of passion and sulphurous scandals: the most disturbing cases in the history of 19th-century Brussels, told on a storytelling walk.
