Belgian Chocolate Bliss: Private Ghent Tasting Adventure

Our guide Vera did an amazing job guiding us through a wide variety of chocolatiers and candy shops. We enjoyed everything that we tasted at each unique location. Each shop was very accommodating with my son who has a nut allergy, which was very much appreciated!! We left this tour with a thorough knowledge of the city and a tummy full of amazing chocolates! I highly recommend this tour for families!

The tour booked with Vera was for a teambuilding with colleagues - and it was highly appreciated by all! Vera was friendly, animated, knowledgeable and funny, everything needed to keep you hanging on to her words with attention! The quirky information shared about Ghent is not the kind to be found in a city guide, and the different chocolates tasted were delicious and...sometimes quite surprising! ;) Highly recommended, no excessive walking required and perfect with regards to quality and price. :) Thank you, Vera and Charlie Tours!

The tour was great! We received a ton of information about the city as well as the types of chocolate. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone going to Ghent.

Excellent tour with Vera! Chocolate tasting as well as interesting facts included in the tour! Vera was a wonderful guide!

One of the highlights of our trip - great tasting chocolate paired with some history of the area. Our kids loved it too.

Not a big fan of guided tours, but this was a great experience. Much more personal and individualistic. Worth every minute. Nick rocked!

I love the knowledge and pride our guide took in the city. It made the tour so worth it. It was worth the time.

This was an excellent tour done by a wonderful, smart, and very informative guide. Nick talked expertly about chocolate and its history while also intelligently weaving Ghent's history into this tour. The tastings were arranged very appropriately to reflect the above. Thank you!

Nick was a fantastic tour guide with a wealth of knowledge. He was able to keep my 14 and 16 year old children engaged the entire tour. I highly recommend this tour and if you are able to book it at the beginning of your adventure you will have a delightful overview of Ghent while sampling delicious chocolates. It was our favorite tour! Thank you again Nick!

We had the most wonderful tour with Alan upon arriving in Ghent. We love taking a private tour first thing to keep us moving and get past the jet lag. This great walking tour combined the history and layout of a city tour with the fun of a food tour-did I mention it was a CHOCOLATE tasting tour?!!! Alan guided us around the old town explaining the history and showing us key sights interspersed with stops at 5-6 (so many I lost count) artisanal chocolate shops where we feasted of pralines (in American parlance-bon bons or filled chocolates ) ranging from caramel to chili/mango, crème brûlée and more. Most were almost too pretty to even eat and we savored every precious bite. The artistry and skill was amazing and the quality super high as Belgiums like FRESH chocolate. This is a must do on your visit!
