Great choco tour
Bill V, Jul 2019
We had a lovely time. Enjoyed the walk, info, conversation and—of course—the chocolates! We learned a lot. I was intrigued to see how similar chocolate tastings are to beer tastings (my hobby). And we had several chocolates that were a complete revelation. Highly recommended.

Hi Bill V, thanks so much for your review and for coming with your wife! So glad you enjoyed the tasting tour & learned so much -- with some chocolates even being a complete revelation! :)
Awesome

This tour taught us all about the history of chocolate as well as how to enjoy and savor chocolate. I tasted several chocolates that I would have never chosen on my own. My husband and I are now official chocolate snobs and only the best for us will do. My husband who never ate dark chocolate before the tour now only likes the rich flavor of the 70% and higher. Go on this tour it is fun and you learn much. Next time I am in Brussels I will attend one of her classes also.
