4.00The thumbnail on this tour is a little misleading. To be clear the tour never says it’s a mix of a food tour and a walking tour. It says it’s a walking tour with “tastings”. You start out as you’re waiting for everyone to come with fresh made waffles and coffee and tea which is fantastic. Fill up on this because these are the waffles on the tour and you won’t get another snack for an hour and a half. You get two pieces of very good chocolate, then a biscuit then a bread/pastry. The biscuit and the pastry our guide had in his tote bag but the chocolate we stopped at a chocolate shop. Based on the image of this tour, I thought we would stop at another waffle place. I didn’t realize those beginning waffles when we were waiting for people to come in the tour to start was it. The tour is long. It went for three hours and Brussels is not that big. Our guide was nice. I just expected another waffle during our walking tour like in the photo.
Even my 12yr old loved it!!

5.00Its a great way to start your trip in Brussels. It is highly informative. Our tour guide is very friendly and funny; and even gave suggestions on places to see and restaurants to try. Price is okay. You get to try two different types of waffles, chocolates and cookies. Highly recommended!
Enjoyable and quaint experience

5.00This was a fun, relaxing experience and our guide was super friendly, sweet, and knowledgeable. A lot of walking, but mostly flat ground. It was very hot when I went in mid July and that made things slightly miserable for me, but thats completely out of their control. We learned all about waffles, chocolate, and the history of Brussels. If you're doing this simply to eat waffles and chocolate though, you'd be just as well off walking around and trying the many shops in town on your own time.
Great tour!

5.00We had a great time on this tour! Ian was a lot of fun and had great stories. We learned about the history of waffles and chocolate and about the amazing buildings in the Grand Place. He also showed us some other interesting things we might not have noticed or visited My daughter (10) and I loved it!
