Waffles and Beer in Brussels

Waffle making and beer tasting was amazing. We had so much fun with Stefan as our instructor we will definitely recommend to any friends and family traveling to Brussels. We were a party of 3 and all of us had so much fun. Can’t wait to try making our own waffles at home using the recipe that was given to us.

Great bike and history tour in Bruges

The retro bike tour was one of the most fun and historical bike tours we’ve ever done. Sebastian was an absolutely amazing tour guide. He’s very knowledgeable about Bruges history. And on top of that he’s such a vibrant and fun young man. We wish him the best in his future endeavors. And talk to the people in your group. I found someone who knows my sister in my hometown! It’s a small, wonderful world that we live in!

Boat trip, guided walk and chocolate

Linda_L, Sept 2026

Lovely tour

Mark was a great tour guide. He was very informative providing historic details of the city. It was drizzling when we first got to Brugge but then cleared up and turned out to be a beautiful day for a walking tour. The city of Brugge is beautiful and looks like a fairy tale village. The boat ride was enjoyable and the boat tour guide was very funny. We loved hearing the history of the city from both guides as well as getting some good insight on places visit & spend additional time at, favorite places to eat and get chocolate.

Private Historical Tour: The Highlights of Bruges

Raina_K, Sept 2026

Great Tour of Bruges

This was an excellent walking tour of Bruges that provided an overview of the culture and amazing history. Our tour guide, Martin, was very knowledgeable and personable. He provided extensive and detailed information as we traveled throughout the city. The tour included several stops where Martin described in detail what we were seeing and what we should take special note of as we explored on our own. If we were to do this tour again, we would request Martin, and give ourselves more time after the tour to explore his recommendations.

Belgian Chocolate Workshop in Bruges

Edward_E, Sept 2026

Chocolate making fun.

It is a small group of 8, usually work in pairs. Excellent chocolate making host and guide. You work standing around a table. Not wheel chair accessible but if you can manage 2 entry steps it is well worth the effort. It is 3 hours of chocolate making including a little down time to sit and listen to some chocolate making facts while your creations cool in the fridge. It was a great deal of fun.

Unique Belgian Chocolate Making Workshop in Bruges

Kevin_P, Aug 2026

100% recommend Chocolate making and beer tasting.

Highly recommend this chocolate making and beer tasting experience. We were running late and our hostess (chief chocolate maker) kindly caught us up. Our class was full and it was so fun meeting others. We got to make our own chocolate candies and learn about the process and beer! Our chief baker was unflappable, informative and had the ability to help us all when needed. Highly recommend.

Bruges Waffle Workshop

Lisa_B, July 2026

Such a fun time! Elliott...

Such a fun time! Elliott led our class. We had a short intro about different types of waffles and then learned how to make the Brussel Belgium waffles. Each group of 2 or 3 got to make their own batch of batter, cook them and eat them. Many of toppings were provided to please the entire group. Elliott was very helpful and friendly. We had a great time!

Belgian Beer Tasting in Bruges: 6 Beers, Cheese & a Local Host

Sophie_D, May 2026

Amazing beer tasting not to be missed!

Great tasting, ambiance and hostess. The beer selection was exquisite, surely the best beers available in Belgium, not to mention the high quality of the cheese and appetisers. Explanation about brewery process, flavors and origin were interesting. We were a family of 4 joining another 4 people group. The hostess made us feel like home, and we shared a friendly moment such as we stayed long after the end to keep discussing. We definitely recommend !!
