City tour

Tourist can take a City bus tour in Leuven, that last about 50 minutes and passes by all the main sights and attractions. Using a headphone a guide tells you more about the stuff outside. There are five language options (Dutch, French, English, German and Spanish). Additional images about the different places and buildings are shown. The bus offers places for 22 persons, and the company advises to make a reservation, using the number +32 (0) 473 43 43 43.

To be honest, I really think it is extremely unnecessary to spend money on this. With a good guidebook in your backpack, or some earlier research data in your head, you can view just the same things and many more on your own, without paying for the little crowded bus and the headphone guides. Besides, Leuven is so small it is much more fun walking from one place to another, across the narrow streets cars and buses can't drive through. Citytours might be useful in Paris or NY, but definitely not in a town like Leuven. If you'd absolutely like to use some means of transport, hire yourself a bike. I believe that's a much more authentic way of exploring things, AND blending in!

P.S. I've added an URL but last time I checked this site was displayed horribly. Yet lets hope they'll fix that...
