Tom is absolutely the best! By the end, I was tipsy, more knowledgeable on the history of beer, and ready to try more. I highly recommend just going with the flow and listening to what he says. Very funny, great opportunity to meet new people, and overall wish I could do it again!

Very enjoyable experience.

Mary_L, Apr 2026
This experience was a lot of fun. Our guide was pleasant and knowledgeable. Our group was lively and engaging which really contributed to the enjoyment. Only negative was our guide spoke very softly and at times it was difficult to hear her above the background noise.

Great Beer Tasting Tour – Highly Recommend

Yasmin_M, Feb 2026
Really enjoyable beer tasting tour from start to finish. Tom was a great guide – entertaining, knowledgeable and kept the whole group engaged without it ever feeling forced. There was a good amount of drinks included, and the pace felt just right. The length of time was perfect too, and we didn’t have to walk too far between stops which made it really easy and relaxed. Overall, a really good experience and I’d definitely recommend it.

Zoe_F, Dec 2025
This was great, Tom was our guide and his knowledge was awesome as well as his passion for beer. It was a fun way to learn about beer for a couple hours.

Very good.

JeanBaptiste_d, Dec 2025
The tour is very good. Tom, the guide, is great. It’s enjoyable . We tasted different types of beer.

If you can make a request- ask for Tom!

Sara_M, Dec 2025
Sampling local beer with locals in cute local bars was the highlight of this tour. Our tour guide was not only very knowledgable but extremely kind. Tom not only explained the history of Belgium beer but explained the science to a group of Texas nerds.

Perfect thing to do while...

Constance_C, Dec 2025
Perfect thing to do while in Brussels. Our tour guide was informative and welcoming. She taught us all about the beer culture of Belgium.

Amazing Tour with a Great Guide

Dawn_H, Oct 2025
I had an amazing time on this beer tour. The info provided was fascinating but not overly informative. My guide did a great job tailioring the tastings and the tour to the preferences and experience of the group (5 of us in all). He even stayed late after the tour to have another beer with those who wished to stay, and gave recommendations for where to eat in the area. I would recommend this tour to anyone interested in Belgian beers!

Great beers and experience

Carlota_F, Jun 2025
Great tour, our guide was very clear and informative. She chose really good quality beers for us to taste. She also made sure to answer all of our questions and even included very nice tips to go about the city.

Beer Isn’t My Thing… But This Tour Totally Was!

Ximena_P, May 2025
Highly recommended! I'm not really into beer, but my boyfriend is, so we decided to join the tour. To my surprise, it was much better than I expected! It was educational, interesting, and hilarious! We learned a lot about beer while tasting some great Belgian brews. Beer still isn't my favorite drink, but I would definitely take the tour again!

Tom was excellent

Olivia_T, May 2025
Tom was excellent, we had a great time and he’s very knowledgeable about the beers in Belgium. We were on a booking with a stag that were quite rowdy but Tom held his own and myself and my husband had a great experience. 5 stars for sure!

Tour involves 2 stops and...

John_B, May 2025
Tour involves 2 stops and 4 different traditional Belgian beers and took less than 2 hours to complete. Our guide Tom was friendly, articulate, and genuinely funny! We learned about the the history of beer-making in Belgium from 500 CE to the Present. It is easy to fit this into your travel plans and well worth it!

Entertaining and...

Krishna_M, Jan 2025
Tom, our guide, was very knowledgeable on the local beers and great raconteur. The beers selected were amazingly curated and the additional recommendations from Tom were highly appreciated. I would recommend this to anyone looking to gain an insight into the wonderful world of Belgian beers.

Belgium beer from now on!

Marivic_F, Nov 2024
Adeline is such an educated and informed tour guide. And so funny! After giving us such a ride on the history and importance of beer in his country, he was knowledgeable in helping you select beers that will cater to your taste. We had such a great time with the whole tour and we were lucky enough to have other participants that were just as cool. Thank you Adeline for broadening our taste and for giving us invaluable information on your country’s love and religion in beer.

Great way to meet new people and learn about Belgium beer. The guide was very educational and engaging.

Would 100% recommend this tour!

Liam_H, Oct 2024
We had Tom as our tour guide and he as fantastic. His knowledge about the local area and beers was brilliant but also his humour and personality really made the tour amazing. Thanks to Tom and the rest of the people on the tour for making it a fun experience. Would 100% recommend!

Go to a bar and buy your own 4 beers

Kim_H, Oct 2024
The idea of this tour sounds fantastic but of the 4 beers we tried they tasted or smelt of rubber, banana or cherry. Give me beer I can enjoy and not a science lesson.

Awesome Tour…Tom was awesome!🍻

Christopher_H, Oct 2024
Our guide, Tom, was awesome!!! Extremely knowledgeable, has lived almost everywhere, high energy and crazy funny. If you like beers and enjoy good laughs, this tour is for you!!! Cheers!🍻

Wonderful evening out with Beer

Melissa_L, Oct 2024
Our tour guide was so passionate and so informative about our experience he was captivating, I wish I could remember the spelling of his name Adelin? Well he was great! The beers were a good variety even if I didn’t like the one, I tried it to “expand” my knowledge. The settings were great and I enjoyed this tour. Highly recommend!!! Trappist fan for life!
