We had a fun and informative chocolate tour with Anne. She was knowledgeable about chocolate and how it’s made and about Brussels. Lots of interesting stories. We went to 5 stores and tried a variety of delicious chocolates. It was a small group of 5, which was perfect! Highly recommend this tour!

Great guide!
Eduardo_d, May 2024
This was the perfect amount of time and sampling of delightful chocolates. There were only 8 of us on the tour so it was easy to follow along. What made this tour excellent was our guide Adelina. She was incredibly knowledgeable about the history and process of making Belgian chocolate. It poured rain at one point and despite that she maintained her cheerful and patient demeanor. Wonderful job!
Response from Host, May 2024

Fantastic Tour with a GREAT guide and host
Dennis_B, Apr 2024
Catherine (Kate) is an exceptional host for this chocolate tour. Her passion for living in Brussels and sharing her connection with chocolate and the sustainable farming of cocoa beans is infectious! She truly made all 4 of us wish to get involved in buying only Fair Trade chocolates and similar products for the good of mankind and the world. She brought us to many shops and did a great job with the progression of the flavors being enjoyed. She seems to have a very good working relationship with the stores' staff. The timing of the tour was perfectly paced and we got to enjoy some parts of the city we would never have explored if it were not for Kate. The only suggestion is that when you have a larger sized group (we were 14) then you need to use the microphone and headset system so that we can capture every word that Kate had to share with us.

Yael_W, Apr 2024
My family and I did this tour- we have 4 children from youngest 7 to older teenagers and this tour was great for all ages, young and old (adults included!). Anna was our tour guide and she was amazing: so knowledgeable and explained things wonderfully. She mixed in history with technical information about how chocolate is made. We learned so much and tasted so many different kinds of chocolate… a wonderful tour and we all HIGHLY recommend it!!

Good tour
Juliette_C, Apr 2024
This was a nice tour - a good way to spend an afternoon in Brussels and our children (10 and 13) enjoyed it too. It was a reasonably small group - eight of us, and there wasn't any pressure to buy anything at the shops. I definitely feel I know more about Belgian chocolate afterwards! Getting the samples was something I'd have no idea how to do not on a tour and the guide proactively asked the children for the later tasting whether they wanted milk or darker chocolate etc.
Response from Host, Apr 2024
Hi Juliette, thank you for sharing your review with us. We are delighted to hear that you and your family enjoyed our chocolate appreciation tour in the beautiful city center of Brussels.

My wife and I had a wonderful time on this tour! We were only in Brussels for a day, so we were hoping to get a lot out of this tour - and we did! Our guide was very knowledgable, and of course the chocolate was amazing. Everything was on time and well worth the price.

Lovely tour. Catherine took us through the history of chocolate and how it came to Belgium then let us sample chocolates from multiple chocolate stores. We learned about the history of a range of chocolate shops and each shop’s speciality. Was not too much walking. This tour length was perfect.

Avo’s extensive knowledge on the history of Belgium and Brussels, chocolate, and beer was so inspirational that I really enjoyed the entire course of the tour. I felt his passion and generosity to share his knowledge to the people from all over the world. What really moved me was his professionalism in a well-prepared itinerary, at the same time, his attentiveness to customize my experience. Avo went far beyond my expectation. Thank you so much. You’re a truly Five Star.
