Wonderful day to get a great overview of Brussels and some culinary delights and surprises along the way.
We had a fantastic time on the waffle and chocolate tasting tour! The waffles were delicious, the chocolate was terrific, and Paul was an amazing guide. We also loved learning about Brussels’ history and seeing the beautiful historical buildings and churches. Highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Brussels!
This was an excellent walking tour of Brussels that provided an overview of the culture and amazing history. Our tour guide, Clemmons, was very knowledgeable, personable and dynamic. He provided extensive and detailed information in an engaging way as we traveled throughout the city. The tour included several stops where Clemmons described in detail what we were seeing and what we should take special note of when we later explored on our own. If we were to do this tour again, we would absolutely request Clemmons.
This was an excellent tour, combining history with tastings along the way. Our guide was personable, animated and knowledgeable. He provide facts and recommendations which were helpful. At the end of the tour he even walked us to a recommended spot for a beer. Well done.
Clemons was an amazing tour guide. He made it fun & we learned a lot. Loved his jazz hands! Would do it again.
Our tour guide, Clemons (?), was excellent. Very knowledgeable and had a great sense of humor. The waffles & chocolate were delicious! Five stars all the way!
We had a wonderful time on our Brussels walking tour with Morgan. She was delightful, friendly, and very knowledgeable, and made the tour both interesting and fun. We really enjoyed learning about Brussels while exploring the city, and of course the chocolate and waffle tastings were a delicious bonus! Morgan was a fantastic guide, and we would highly recommend this tour.
Great time with Francois! Waffles were excellent and plentiful. Was fun trying the two different types. Great history on the tour, very informative. And the chocolate was over the top.
This was a fun walking tour! You start with 2 styles of fresh homemade waffles and some interesting waffle history. Then you head out on the walking tour with Paul (who was super engaging) and take a pleasant 2 hour city walk. You stop at several interesting local spots and learn mini history lessons along the journey. We did this walking tour just hours after getting off our overnight international flight, it was a great way to get acquainted with this part of the city while getting some steps in after being on a plane for 9 hours. Bring your sweet tooth and your walking shoes!
Fabulous tour! Delicious waffles to start you off and a fun, entertaining tour ensues. Clemens was an excellent tour guide.
A tasty and informative tour. Lou was a delight as our guide. A great way to spend our first day in Brussels.
This tour covers lots of interesting information about Brussels that would be interesting to the first-time visitor. I wish there were more chocolate and waffles tasted on the tour. The tour guide was lovely and informative and made everyone feel welcome.
Our Tour guide is very good and very knowledgeable. We had very nice weather too. Was very enjoyable tour.
The tour was excellent. Being able to try traditional Belgium chocolates, waffles and receive some valuable history of Brussels was wonderful. Loved the tour.
This was a great tour! The tour itself was very good, but having Ian as our guide made it even better. He was very knowledgeable and fun. The only downside to this tour was that Viator lists the wrong meeting site. We nearly missed the tour because of this. So for the tour and tour guide, I give a 10 out of 10. But for Viator I give a failing grade.
Good introduction to Brussels, small group , nice tastings, knowledgeable guide with sense of humour. Easy walking.
This was a fun experience and we learned a lot. The waffles were delicious as was the chocolate. Clemens our guide was great! I would highly recommend him.
This is a great tour to do as one of the first things when you get in Brussels. Gives good overview of interesting areas that you may want to revisit on your own. Guide Francois was excellent, informative and personable.
This was such a great experience!! We learned about different waffle ingredients, tasted various chocolates and learned a little about the history of Brussels while walking the town.
It was an easy walk (some stairs, but manageable) and our tour guide was so friendly and knowledgeable.
We would definitely recommend this tour for visitors to Brussels.
Good coverage of area, with history and snacks. Not too much talking, so wasn’t boring. Easy walk; only 1 set of stairs
Our tour started with a fun waffle tasting and a little history on waffles, then Francis gave us a great walking tour of the city including a chocolate tasting and cookie tasting along the way. We only had a day in Brussels and the walking tour was exactly what we were looking for to give us an orientation to the city and its history!
Fun experience with a knowledgeable guide! An authentic and delicious waffle experience. My whole family enjoyed it.
Good waffle
Nice chocolates and more
Covering most of the main attractions in Brussels
Young guide who was very friendly
Excellent experience! Santiar and Paul were fabulous guides, very relaxed atmosphere, great blend of historical facts with legends and humor. It was really nice to start indoors eating and drinking to feel ready for the walking, lots of well-timed treats to keep you going. Also Sucré after is worth a stop to taste the sweet treats, friendly staff.
Great tour! You start/meet at The Waffle Heritage which is a museum. They make fresh waffles for tasting and give the history of waffles. Then the walking portion of the tour starts. They cover many key spots throughout Brussels. There are a few hills (manageable) so be mindful of that. Along the route you are given a local cookie, stop at a famous chocolate shop for a tasting, and then end with a local sweet bread. All the tastings were delicious and decent portion. The tour guide gave a lot of great information and was very friendly. This is a must do when in Brussels!
The waffle experience and the walking around the historic area of Brussels were both excellent. Both guides were great. Paul, who walked us around, was friendly and super knowledgeable and provided yummy tasting treats along the way. We learned a lot about Belgian culture, food and history. And, the waffles and chocolate were great.
I truly enjoyed this tour! Francis was friendly and knowledgeable. He was patient with our older ones.
This tour is one of the best we've been on during the 6 weeks we've been in Europe. We started by learning all about the history of waffles and eating them of course. We walked to different places of interest around brussels and tasted amazing chocolate from Mary and speculoos too. We would highly recommend this tour to anyone thinking of visiting Brussels.
