We really enjoyed getting to learn about high quality chocolate and its many presentations! What fun! Our guide was amazing. Tom’s knowledge of his city made our time so interesting and enjoyable. We loved it!

A great balance of food exploration, walking tour, and history lesson. We booked a last minute tour so it was just the two of us, but I believe all tour group sizes are small. Our guide, Tom, answered all of our questions with clarity and even passion. We ended up planning the rest of our trip based on his recommendations, including visiting the Adoration of the Lamb of God, and two dinner restaurants. We also revisited the chocolate shop and candy store the next day for souvenirs. Highly recommend!

A fantastic experience. We had Emma as our guide and she was extremely knowledgeable about Ghent. We tasted amazing food, chocolates, and beverages, but what we loved the most was learning about the history and culture. This tour checks all.the boxes and I highly recommend taking it at the start of your trip! 10/10

Tom was a great tour guide that took his time to explain everything to us and answered all of our questions. He gave us a insight to Ghent that we just wouldn't get from a guide book. It was a tasting tour with some surprises!

Our guide, Vera, knew THE best spots. Learned a little, walked a little, and tasted LOTS. Am so glad Vera loves chocolate and gourmet snacks as much as we do!

Vera was a wonderful and informative tour guide. She shared so much information about Ghent and its beautiful architecture as well delightful details about the myriad of food tastings we had. We had a great time (ages spanning 14-76!) and would highly recommend this to anyone.

I’ve probably been on 30 food / culture tours. This was the best. Our guide was Nick, the owner of the company. He was great to talk to. We learned a ton about the food, but also about the culture. I’ve been on a lot of food tours before where it’s just eat, eat, eat and learn nothing. Not this one. We learned a lot about the culture and government. Nick, like me, is somewhat of a Political buff, and we had good discussions. I learned a lot. We got a good city tour of Ghent out of this tour also. We tried Belgian fries with a gravy and mayonnaise. Awesome. We tried several kinds of Belgian chocolate, Belgian beers, some sliced meat (the local ham was better than I’ve had in Spain and Italy), and even horse meat (try it). I would suggest doing this first thing when you arrive, as you’ll walk the city and get a good feel of it.
