What a beautiful excursion! We saw the famous Belfry tower, enjoyed some chocolate tasting, and still had time to explore on our own. The pick-up and return to the cruise port was very smooth.

This excursion made my cruise even more special ❤️❤️. It was only 6 hours but filled with highlights: old churches, cute shops, and even time to enjoy Belgian waffles. I liked how the guide gave us clear directions for free time too.
