Book Your Small-Group Chocolate Tour in Mechelen - Near Sint-Katelijne-Waver, Flemish Region

You’ll discover why we love Mechelen-a charming, quieter hidden gem in the Flemish Region that’s easily reached from Antwerp, Brussels and Ghent. On this small-group walking tour based out of Sint-Katelijne-Waver, you’ll enjoy local stories and a variety of chocolate tasters-think hot chocolate, pralines, handmade chocolate, macarons, chocolate cookies, pain au chocolat and cakes-served at selected spots (locations vary by day, time and group size). There are no full stops except for tasting breaks, but you can ask your guide to pause for a photo if you like; for safety and a personal experience we keep groups small so we can get to know the people we guide. You’ll leave with a deeper appreciation of the city’s charm, a few sweet secrets, and a memorable taste of the region.
