Ghent, chocolates and history!

Jill_C, Apr 2026

Mandy was an excellent guide, made us feel comfortable from the start of the tour plus she spoke very good English. We visited many chocolate shops and tasted some amazing chocolates all of these stores were different. Along the way Mandy shared her love of Ghent with some history and amusing stories. Would highly recommend this tour. Ghent is a beautiful place to visit.

Wow! Thank you for the great feedback!

Yummy chocolate, but very...

Alicia_N, Nov 2025

Yummy chocolate, but very expensive tour for the few pieces of chocolate you try. Would also suggest a midway bathroom break at a specific location as we had to buy food at a store to use the bathroom

Hey Alicia, Volgens onze gegevens heeft er dit jaar niemand met jouw naam een Private Chocolate Tour bij ons geboekt. Zou het kunnen dat er een vergissing is gebeurd bij het plaatsen van je review? Mocht je ooit in Gent zin hebben in een echte Chocolate Tour: je bent meer dan welkom! Tijdens onze tour genieten we van minstens negen heerlijke, écht artisanale proevertjes bij een zevental Gentse topchocolatiers. Een perfecte manier om Gent én de beste lokale chocolade te ontdekken. 😊

Kids will LOVE this Tour

Erica_M, Jul 2025

Our guide Vera did an amazing job guiding us through a wide variety of chocolatiers and candy shops. We enjoyed everything that we tasted at each unique location. Each shop was very accommodating with my son who has a nut allergy, which was very much appreciated!! We left this tour with a thorough knowledge of the city and a tummy full of amazing chocolates! I highly recommend this tour for families!

Response from Host, Jul 2025

One of the highlights of our trip - great tasting chocolate paired with some history of the area. Our kids loved it too.

Not a big fan of guided tours, but this was a great experience. Much more personal and individualistic. Worth every minute. Nick rocked!

Our favorite tour in Ghent

Erin_W, Feb 2023

Nick was a fantastic tour guide with a wealth of knowledge. He was able to keep my 14 and 16 year old children engaged the entire tour. I highly recommend this tour and if you are able to book it at the beginning of your adventure you will have a delightful overview of Ghent while sampling delicious chocolates. It was our favorite tour! Thank you again Nick!

She came and told us that she spoke a littel spanish, but she was talking all the tour with my parents and my sister in law. Was perfect!!!Really nice, kind and helpfull for us. The chocolate for sure incredible, discovering local shops with great flavours. 100% recommended

Top dag

Michelle_v, Mar 2024

We hebben met Debbie een hele leuke dag gehad. Ze vertelde enthousiast verhalen over de plekjes in Gent waar we zijn geweest en zijn door leuke kleine straatjes gelopen waar we nog nooit geweest waren. De chocolade en snoepjes waren heerlijk. Zeker gaan we er nog eens terug naar toe!
