Summary:
My husband and I had a great time on this tour. We ate great chocolate at several stops, and drank some great beers. It was a good balance of learning some facts of both as well as a fun walking tour of the city center. Clemmons was our fearless leader with Antoine keeping stragglers ( and slow walking cane users) with the group. He also was the bearer of beers chocolate and very welcome charcuterie plates. It was fun! Go ! Enjoy!

Summary:
If you are unsure if this is the tour for you, I would say dont hesitate and jump on it! Marie and Stephan were our guides and they were amazing 👏 the perfect blend of history, flavor profiling, and enthusiasm. This was a great introduction to authentic chocolate and beers traditional to Belgium instead of all of the tourist traps you see around. A great tour with wit and puns galore!
