A Must Do in Ghent

Published on May, 2025

A fantastic experience. We had Emma as our guide and she was extremely knowledgeable about Ghent. We tasted amazing food, chocolates, and beverages, but what we loved the most was learning about the history and culture. This tour checks all.the boxes and I highly recommend taking it at the start of your trip! 10/10

Tom was a great tour guide that took his time to explain everything to us and answered all of our questions. He gave us a insight to Ghent that we just wouldn't get from a guide book. It was a tasting tour with some surprises!

Get ready for a taste explosion . . .

Our guide, Vera, knew THE best spots. Learned a little, walked a little, and tasted LOTS. Am so glad Vera loves chocolate and gourmet snacks as much as we do!

Highly Recommended!!
