5.00Sampling 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...

5.00I 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!
Fantastic beer samging

5.00We had the BEST time on our tour with Tom! My husband and I are Americans with less superior beer :) and not a ton of prior knowledge- so this was a particularly exciting experience for us. Tom was extremely funny, entertaining and descriptive. Who knew Monks could be interesting? We loved all the history of the country, the brewing, and the glassware. The time absolutely flew listening to Tom and we wished we could come back the next day for another round. He is great at what he does! All the beers were excellent, and the bars charming. Such a great way to meet likeminded people and get to know the city and what they do best! Thanks again.
Great evening expirience
