A Delicious Tour - What a fun way to see Brussels. Our guide Zoe was terrific. We had a large family group of 11 with a wide variety of ages. She easily accommodated our pace and kept us well informed throughout our tour. I would highly recommend this tour.

A wonderful way to taste the variety of chocolate available in Brussels - I booked this tour for the day that I arrived in Brussels as a fun and tasty experience. It was so informative and beyond what I expected. Our lovely tour guide took us to six chocolate shops and explained the difference between the Dutch school of chocolate and the more innovative French school of chocolate. At each shop we tasted 1-2 chocolate pieces of unique chocolate- so delicious and different than US chocolate. We received a ten percent discount at each shop. Great small group tour for all ages. Excellent guide.

Excellent tour, magnificent tour guide - We had our chocolate tour on 17th February, having only arrived in Belgium 2 hours before. It was the perfect introduction to Brussels, as it ended up being just our group of 5 on the tour. Our host was magnificent and went out of her way to make us feel relaxed, more like we were with a friend than a tour guide! She was incredibly knowledgeable about chocolate and Brussels as a whole, gave us many recommendations for the rest of our stay, and had a brilliant sense of humour. We visited 5 chocolatiers, 3 of which were more traditional, and 2 more modern, tasting about 8 chocolates altogether. Discounts at 3 stores were available as well, 2 of which could be used at any time during our stay. Whilst the chocolates were lovely, it was the tour guide who set this experience apart from any other activity we could have planned, and we are extremely grateful to her for making our first day in Brussels so memorable.

Sweet Tour - Our tour guide was super knowledgeable both about the chocolate and the history of Brussels. The two of us were the only people on the tour (Feb is the off season). The flavors we tried were amazing, and the recommendations for further tasting were so interesting! Great value.

Delicious chocolate, new knowledge, and a stellar tour guide - Our guide was extremely knowledgeable and made the whole tour very fun. I can't believe how much I learned about chocolate! She was also very kind to handle allergies in each shop so I could enjoy the tastings without worry. It was really enjoyable to experience a variety of shops to compare/contrast their flavors, styles, etc. The tour included a nice amount of general history about Belgium that was a nice addition to the focus on chocolate. Despite rainy weather, I really enjoyed this tour and was glad I made the time. It is great to do tours in general, but I find them especially enjoyable when traveling solo as it gives you others to socialize with as well.

Fun and delicious tour. - This was a great tour. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable about the chocolates we tasted and the history of chocolates. We walked thru the city of Brussels on the tour and she even gave us some insight into different historical places that we passed along the way. She was very personable and was able to answer all questions the group had along the way.

Tasty tasting - We signed up for this tour hoping it would provide us with help choosing among the many chocolate shops in Brussels and it did just that! We were able to sample the products of well-known and boutique chocolatiers, and to learn about the history and variations in how chocolates (called pralines in Belgium) are made. Excellent choice of merchants and samples to try; articulate, knowledgeable guide.
