Rebecca
Just finished a great walking chocolate tour of Brussels. Emin was so knowledgeable about the chocolate process and the shoppes. Making our own chocolate was fun. We tasted about 10 different ones and has a great time.
Betsy
Loved this walking tour and all the chocolate we got to taste test! We were able to go to about 5 spots, our guide made sure to fit some history of Brussels into our walking tour as well. I’d book again for the experience of walking and eating chocolate alone, we were there during Christmas markets so it made the ambiance even better!
Cindy
We had a great time with Beni, she was a great guide and took us around to see some famous sites and gave us insights into the chocolates that we sampled. This was a highlight of our trip with a great amount of delicious chocolates, some of the tastiest being Beni's recommendations. It was also fun to used prepared good quality chocolate to make many little chocolates of our own to take home with us to enjoy later.

Sebastian!!! El gato (nickname). He was such an incredible guide. All of the stellar reviews about him matched up to the awesome person that he was! He is incredibly knowledgeable and gave us so many informational pieces about the history of the area as well as facts about each beer that we tasted. The beer tasting tour (9+ beers) was our favorite part about visiting Brussels. We also had a very friendly and warm group. I mentioned to Sebastian that I loved sour beers and we made a short stop at a sour beer store specifically for me. I was SO thankful for that it really meant a lot to me. It was such a personal touch and made this tour MORE than worth the value. I highly recommend this tour especially to all my American friends. He will keep you entertained for hours with his humor and wit!!!

We used this company to do the Chocolate tour in Amsterdam, Netherlands. Was one of the best tours we have ever had. Our tour guide Karla talked and spent time with all of us and was so very interesting and so informative about the areas we walked cause it was also a walking tour. The chocolate tasting at all the shops...the information concerning all the types and flavors of chocolate...plu the making of your own chocolate candy....such a great and wonderful 4 hrs spent in the morning. Qe had the afternoon tour but it got canceled so they said we could do the morning tour...which even Karla said was much better. The advertising did not mention the morning tour so best to call or email and ask for it. Highly recommended.
