Great tour!!
Elizabeth_D, Jan 2023
Our guide Zoe did an excellent job!! The tour was way better than I expected. We not only learned about the history of chocolate in Brussels and got to try great chocolate, Zoe also pointed out landmarks and told us lots of Brussels history. Our group was small - which was great. It was a fantastic tour. I highly recommend it!!
Response from Host, Jan 2023
Hi Elizabeth, we thank you for taking the time to recommend us. We're truly happy to learn that the experience was above your expectations. Until next time in Brussels. Cheers!
You have to eat chocolate in Brussels

Tasting the chocolates...
Anais_B, Dec 2022
Tasting the chocolates was so nice. We loved all the interesting chocolates we tried, especially the ones with ingredients you don’t normally have in chocolate like basil or black tea. Our guide Anne-Sophie was super knowledgeable and made sure we all got a great experience.
Response from Host, Jan 2023
Hi Anaïs, thank you very much for your super nice review. We're truly happy to learn that you enjoyed the chocolates so much as well as Anne-Sophie's guidance. Hope to see you in Brussels again soon. Cheers!
Not a small geoup
Sandra_M, Dec 2022
The tour was not a small group as indicated when we signed up. There was 13 people in our tour which was too many to hear her speak and to go into the chocolate stores. 2/5 stores were too commercial and part of a large chain. We were hoping for all to be small artisan chocolatiers, I can find the chains myself. We did get a bit of history which was nice. Overall, a bit too expensive for what we got in my opinion.
Response from Host, Jan 2023
Hi Sandra, thank you for your review. It is specified on the chocolate tour's booking page that we take up to 14 people on each tour (please look under "Additional Info") https://www.viator.com/tours/Brussels/Brussels-Chocolate-Tasting-Tour/d458-34677P1
Strongly recommended
Inge_J, Dec 2022
Anne-Sophie was our guide and she did an outstanding job. The chocolate tour is a recommendation !! Would suggest to bring a small bottle of water so you can better taste the different chocolates that you will get presented :-)
Response from Host, Jan 2023
Hi Inge, we're truly happy to learn that you enjoyed your tour with Anne-Sophie. We recommend you bring water to the tour but bear in mind that you can also purchase some halfway through the tour. Cheers!
Enjoyable and tasty
Jon_H, Dec 2022
Intimate setting allowed for full attention from our guide. It was good to learn something new and try new things
Response from Host, Jan 2023

Excellent Tour.
Amardeep_K, Dec 2022
Chocolate tour was fantastic, our tour guide (sorry forgot her name) was lovely and very knowledgeable. We were given a decent amount of chocolates from each shop we went to as well. Good for couples or families with babies.

Knowledgeable Tour Guide
Cameron_H, Dec 2022
Our tour guide Halk was amazing! She made the tour fun and lively and shared all her knowledge surrounding chocolate. It was interesting to learn the history behind chocolate and the shops we went to. Had a blast just make sure to bring water!
Response from Host, Jan 2023
Hi Cameron, thank you very much for your review. Hong is happy to learn that you enjoyed the tour. We do recommend you bring water to the tour, but it can also be bought halfway. Cheers!

Luke_Z, Nov 2022
Nice educational chocolate tour. My tour guide knew a lot about chocolate as well as the city! I would recommend if you are in town.

Zoey was an excellent...
Isak_A, Nov 2022
Zoey was an excellent guide. Super-friendly, knew a lot about not only chocolate but also the city and the stories behind. Would 100% recommend! PS: Of course a lot of delicious chocolate..
Response from Host, Nov 2022
Hi Isak, thank you very much for your review. Zoë is happy to learn that you enjoyed your time with her. Until next time in Brussels. Cheers!
Great Chocolates.
Joanne_Z, Sep 2022
Hong did a great job. The last chocolate shop was way too far from the others. Shops should have trays of candy ready when we get there. The chocolates were delicious.
Response from Host, Sep 2022
Thank you very much for your review Joanne. It is a 9 minute walk from the penultimate to the last shop we visit through a very nice part of town. The trays are not ready at each shop because we only know the exact number of guests participating when the tour starts (some people book a minute before and some don't show up for different reasons). The chocolates are delicious, we can agree on that! Cheers!
captivating & recreative
Audrey_C, Sep 2022
Zoe is an incredible tour guide, it was very accurate, fun and met with a rich belgian chocolate history. Thank you for this amazing moment. I'd definitely recommend it.
Response from Host, Sep 2022
Hi Audray, thank you very much for your review. Zoë is happy to learn you had a good time with her. Cheers!
A must do tour!

Response from Host, Sep 2022
Hi Kevin thank you very much for recommending us. Amir says hi and looks forward to seeing you again in Brussels. Cheers!
Exceptional chocolate tour with a delightful tour guide.
Marv_B, Aug 2022
Our tour guide, Julia, was exceptional! Her charm, engaging personality, and knowledge of the chocolate industry made our tour a favorite in Brussels.
Response from Host, Aug 2022
Hi Marv, thank you for your review. Julia is happy to learn that you enjoyed your time with her. Until next time in Brussels. Cheers!
Good guide but price too high and too few chocolates
Wendy_W, Aug 2022
It was difficult to find the meeting location which is in an upscale old shopping street Galerie du Roi but had nothing to do with the store at the address given. A note on the ticket to that effect would be very useful. Also price was expensive for 7 chocolates which average less than a euro each.
Response from Host, Aug 2022
Hi Wendy, the precise meeting point address and Google maps link is publicly available before you book. You also get a confirmation email with the address and Google maps link after you book. We also provide you with our phone number in case you need help. The tour price and number of pralines offered is also provided before you book. Our tour provides added value that goes far beyond the simple fact of purchasing pralines.
