“We would be arriving in Brussels at noon and would only be there for one night, so we found this tour in our search for something to do that started in the late afternoon. Chloé did a great job leading us on a walking tour of the city center, telling us about the history & culture of Brussels & Belgium, and taking us to try some yummy food. We were satisfied with the food served at each location.”

“We only experienced FOUR (4) tastings. Our guide had to tun off to another tour. We stood on a long line to taste beef stew and Belgium fries. The tour guide fed her dog some our our fries. This was a rip off. What happened to the other food samples? And no drink samples at all. We didn't get our money's worth. I'LL NEVER RECOMMEND THIS TO ANYONE!”

“Although the guide was perfectly nice — she even met us at our Grand Place hotel for convenience — three beers, a few cubes of cheese, and a piece of shared pepperoni stick, do not exact justify this tour’s time or price. Just saying. The creators of this tour need to add a little more for this to justify the price.”
