Cozy, fun beer tour - Started the tour two years ago, but couldn't finish because I broke my foot on the way. This year back to Ghent and booked another tour. We had a nice group and the tour was hugely successful! New places and new beers discovered! Because we also had a tasting and the tour in Bruges we were rewarded as 'regular' guests with a BeerSecret shirt. Very sweet! Are you looking for a cozy and non-standard beer tour I can highly recommend Beersecret!

Beer Tasting in Ghent - Ghent is beautiful medieval city with so many things to do. We saved the beer tour for last and it did not disappoint. It was a nice way to visit several bars/pubs and experience the local beers. Our guide was fun and knowledgeable.

Book directly with Dries, he is your local beer expert! - Our guide Dries took us into the world of Belgian beer with great enthusiasm. We visited nice little bars and a brewery. Different beers with a small snack made it a fun experience. Dries talks with a lot of passion about the beer and Ghent. It is an absolute must during your visit to Ghent!

Great beers and social evening. - This tour was a really good introduction to Belgium Beers and gave a good indication as to which beers were right for your tastebuds. We also found some lovely bars that we probably wouldn't have found if we hadn't have gone on this tour. However, the highlight for me was meeting the other people from different countries on this tour and it proved to be a great social evening.

Beer pleasure - We had a very nice tour throughout Ghent visiting several popular locations and nice "brown" cafés. Our tourguide Dries had so much knowledge on beers, history of the city, and funfacts. Definately would recommend it.
