Wendi_S, Apr 2026

Wonderful day with Mau!

We had a fantastic tour with Mau (Mauricio)! He was flexible, super-knowledgeable, and excited about sharing the history and architecture of Bruges. His history was insightful and entertaining, and he shared great recommendations. With the town full of large tour groups and crowded with visitors, it was especially wonderful to see the city in a more personalized way. We would highly recommend this tour, and Mau in particular!

Delightful

We had a lovely time with Godfriet. He was a delightful fella and he made the tour the right pace and gave us plenty of knowledge about the city. We were able to hide away in a spot he knew when a brief rainstorm came through. Would highly recommend this tour.

The easiest and best way to get to know Bruges!

Ann was a wonderful guide. Very experienced and knowledgeable with just the right amount of humor mixed in. Very attentive to make sure we all stayed together for the tour which was helpful as there are many tour groups in Bruges at any given time…you can accidentally follow the wrong one!

Waffles and Beer and FUN!

Well worth it in every way! We thoroughly enjoyed our time with our host Michelle. She shared many interesting and fun details about the experience, Bruges itself, and her personal story. The activity was jam-packed and extremely well organized. The facilities were lovely, clean, and very comfortable. It was our favourite activity on our 10 day trip! Great for a family, adults, couples ... well done!

Unique Belgian Chocolate Making Workshop in Bruges

Niki_T, Dec 2025

Fun and Informative!

Informal and fun experience. Our group was a mixture of nationalities and the instructions were given in English. We successfully made about 15 filled chocolates (per couple) with top quality chocolate, ganache, nuts and flavoured syrup. During the session we were also served with 3 different types of beer and told the history behind it whilst we waited for the chocolate to harden during various stages. It was great fun and we came away with a gift box filled with our own tasty creations. I would recommend this!

Belgian Chocolate Workshop in Bruges

Susan_S, Dec 2025

Best of Brugge!!! Highly recommend😊

Sara is a fun, well spoken, gentle teacher and guide. The chocolate making class is comprehensive and easy. Small group experience-quiet and low stimulation. Scent of chocolate is mild and not overwhelming. You create 35 small (delicious!) filled chocolates. Sara shares interesting history of chocolate and the birth of filled chocolates (pralines). Highly recommend this wonderful culinary experience!!
