I went on this walking tour with my family. We enjoyed it so much. We explored and tasted a variety of chocolates. We learned the history of some of the places. What I loved the most was the tastings. The combination of flavors was awesome. Afterwards I went back to one to purchase some. Best of all our guide was awesome.
Great combination of Ghent history and chocolates/sweets. Tour guide was great, especially patient with my talkative 7 year old.
We had an excellent experience. Nick took our family on our tour of Belgium, answering questions along the way and keeping things light and entertaining. We got to taste a variety of chocolates and candies throughout, from the very traditional and chain-store variety to locally hand made and eclectic. I’d 100% recommend this tour to anyone looking to experience both the city and its treats. It won’t disappoint.
Nick is very knowledgeable and passionate about his home town of Ghent. We visited many chocolate shops and learnt about the history of chocolate making in Belgium and in particular, Ghent. We really enjoyed the tour and would recommend to anyone.
Thanks a lot for the great review of our Chocolate Tour. Much appreciated!
Really enjoyed our tour. Guide was very personable, sharing lots of history of Ghent, background behind why Belgium is so famous for chocolate and stories behind each shop. We thoroughly enjoyed this experience and recommend for a fun way to experience such a great city.
Thanks 🤩🍫👍
We truly enjoyed our chocolate tour despite the 96° weather. It was hot but our guide (last name van damme) found shade for us as best he could. He was very knowledgeable with the local history and chocolate making (he’s a local Ghent resident). The chocolate was amazing! We liked the small group format. Highly recommend this tour!!
Thank you for the great review!
Great tour with Dieter! It turned out I was the only person who’d signed up on a very hot day, so it turned into a private tour! I loved how many of the chocolates I sampled were in some way connected to the social and political history of Ghent. I got an introduction to the history and landmarks of Ghent and got to try a huge range of chocolates along the way, from traditional to the new and unique. Many of what I tried was award winning. It’s a lot of chocolate! My only regret was it was so hot out that I couldn’t have saved anything for later. Highly recommend!
Thank you, Betsy, for the great review of our Chocolate Tour in Ghent!
