5.00This was a great experience! Our host knows what he is talking about and has a great sense of humour. All of the participants were lovely and I think everyone enjoyed themselves even those that didn't drink beer. The beers themselves were so very different and good that it made a great time.
Excellent beer tour

5.00The beer tour was exceptionally well presented and gave an in-depth detailing of the evolution of Belgian beer. Tom was an excellent host and was unafraid of going off script to answer random questions. Paired with his knowledge of the area and beer in general, it felt more like visiting with friends than being a rigid tour.
A fun and informative ( and tasty) evening!

4.00This 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 and funny

5.00Absolutely loved the beer tour. Tom was an engaging guide to the Belgian beer scene, always had a tidbit of beer knowledge to share and wicked sense of humour too! Now know I my tripel from my doubel. Beers sampled covered the spectrum of brew styles, from whites to lambics. Would. You'll learn about the history of some beers on the tours. Monks far from being mundane, are a more enterprising bunch that I could have imagined. Made me feel more confident ordering beers from a menu. Tom was also happy to answer any questions, beer or otherwise to facilitate a wonderful time in Brussels.
Best tour EVER! (And best guide ever)
