I loved this tour! Not only did we get to taste some amazing chocolate, we got to make some too! What a wonderful way to see the city. Highly recommend.

Great tour if you love chocolate. Chocolate, chocolate, chocolate - so much chocolate! I really enjoyed learning about how chocolate came to Brussels, how the industry developed and how to appreciate really good chocolate.

So much chocolate!!! The tour guide was amazing I'm sorry I forgot her name - she provided a lot of detail about the city and Belgium and really knew her chocolate. And the workshop was informative, but not too in-depth perfect level. But I enjoyed making the chocolates and think that I could try it at home now. Save room for Marcolini and Mary chocolates - I've never tasted anything so amazing. Definitely worth your time while in Brussels.

We loved our tour! Not being a huge sweets person this was perfect for getting the education and excitement rather than doing this on our own. Our guide was great, personable, knowledgeable and organized a great tour for us. Workshop ends up feeling like you are ruining really good chocolate since I got carried away with toppings that did NOT work but that was user error!

If you love chocolate you will love this tour. We were able to sample chocolates from all the top shops and give a try at making treats ourselves. Fortunately there is a good amount to walking to help burn a few calories!

We were a group of 5 - me, my husband, our six-year-old, and two grandparents. We all had such a wonderful time on this tour and agreed that it was a great way to see the city. Marc, our guide, had a fun sense of humour and was very knowledgeable about all things chocolate. Everyone loved making their own chocolates and we thrilled to be able to walk away with a big bag full of our own creations. Very memorable.

Amazing combination of chocolate tasting and history lesson. Don't miss.

LOVED this tour. Going to the different chocolate shops and tasting was interesting and yummy, but the best part of the tour was the workshop where we got to make our own. This is one of my all time favorite tours. It was just me and my friend, but I think the format would have worked just fine for slightly larger tour too. This is a don't miss tour. Now I'm trying to figure out when I can get back to Belgium to get more of that chocolate!

My son and I really enjoyed this tour. We visited several chocolate stores and tasted one or two chocolates at each while learning about the chocolates and the process of making them. Our guide, Sandra, was very knowledgeable and enthusiastic about chocolate and Brussels. The hightlight of the tour was the chocolate workshop where we made and decorated a tray full of chocolate delights. I would highly recommend this tour! Try to take the tour on the first day you are in Brussels to get accquainted with the city and learn about places to eat and things to do. There is a lot of walking which at least helps burn off some of the calories consumed from the chocolates!

Brilliant! I did Chocolate tasting tour with the owner Marc. He was very informative, very knowledgable about chocolates and how it was made in Belgium. At the end of the tour I got to spend about an hour create my own chocolates and bring them home. It was a lot of fun.

Informative and good overview of chocolate. It would have been nice to get more info on the city of Brussels, and why chocolate is a mainstay there.

This was a great tour. The guide was extremely knowledgeable. The tasting included different types of chocolates from less to more expensive. You get to be a creator of your own chocolate master pieces.

Our guide Avo took us not just through Brussels but the world of Chocolate and how it relates to Belgian history. Very interesting. We learned the difference between Chocolatiers and Confectionaries. The different qualities of chocolate, and we got to make our own. We sampled as we went, bought some here and there and had a wonderful time. Highly recommended and I am not impressed easily. Avo was impressive

My husband and I took this tour on our second visit to Brussels and learned way more about chocloate than I knew there was to learn. Plus we got to try several amazing pieces- don't miss the Earl Grey chocolate from Pierre Marcolini. If you like chocolate and who doesn't? this is definitely worth your time.

Great for Celiacs and non-celiacs alike. Our guide knew great stuff about chocolate and Brussels; after the first part of the walking tour, we enjoyed the chocolate workshop which was outstanding and delicious. If you are gluten (and/or dairy) free, let your guide know so they can accommodate! Yum!

We enjoyed this tour so much, it was the highlight of our trip! We went to 6 different chocolate stores and tasted one or two chocolates at each while learning all about the different chocolates and the chocolate making process. The guide was very knowledgeable about chocolate and Belgium. Making your own chocolate was so much fun! I would highly recommend this tour! Try to take the tour on the first day you are in Brussels because they have so many great suggestions of places to eat and things to do.

Loved the chocolate tour. The guide was friendly, very knowledgeable, loved chocolate and loved sharing some of Brussels best chocolatiers with her group. My wife is not a huge chocolate fan, but she still enjoyed the tour, tried the chocolate and found other types of chocolates that she liked much better. There is a good amount of walking, but that is the point. Get to see the city, learn a bit of history, learn about chocolatiers in Brussels and eat a lot of chocolate.

We call this tour death by chocolate! Highly recommend eating something before and after to soak up the chocolate. The class was fun and very hands on.
