Ghent, chocolates and history!

Mandy was an excellent guide, made us feel comfortable from the start of the tour plus she spoke very good English. We visited many chocolate shops and tasted some amazing chocolates all of these stores were different. Along the way Mandy shared her love of Ghent with some history and amusing stories. Would highly recommend this tour. Ghent is a beautiful place to visit.

Yummy chocolate, but very...

Yummy chocolate, but very expensive tour for the few pieces of chocolate you try. Would also suggest a midway bathroom break at a specific location as we had to buy food at a store to use the bathroom

Hey Alicia, Volgens onze gegevens heeft er dit jaar niemand met jouw naam een Private Chocolate Tour bij ons geboekt. Zou het kunnen dat er een vergissing is gebeurd bij het plaatsen van je review? Mocht je ooit in Gent zin hebben in een echte Chocolate Tour: je bent meer dan welkom! Tijdens onze tour genieten we van minstens negen heerlijke, écht artisanale proevertjes bij een zevental Gentse topchocolatiers. Een perfecte manier om Gent én de beste lokale chocolade te ontdekken. 😊

Kids will LOVE this Tour

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!

Highly enjoyable tour with colleagues!

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!

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!
