5.00Senna really did a wonderful job putting together and leading us through this tour. He was quite knowledgeable about the food, the area, and the history. He followed up on the questionnaire that we had submitted prior to the tour to ensure that both the foods that we tried and the places that we went would be suitable for my husband and his food allergies. We felt that he truly listened to our request in order to give us what we were looking for, which was really a taste of Brussels through their food on this walking tour. He avoided the tour straps and even fit in an attraction that I’d ask him about, but he hadn’t intended to have on our tour. (she pointed us in the direction of the other two attractions that were nearby as well.) We went where we had two traditional types of sausage and accompanying sauces, a fry place for us to try the potato fries, a bar that had many types of beer and Senna put some thought into the different options for us to try versus just bringing us anything, well done! We tried authentic Belgian waffles done two ways, one had ice cream, whipped cream, and chocolate sauce, and one had cherries and chocolate sauce, very tasty. The last two stops had us trying gourmet chocolate from a second generation Belgian chocolatier and stopping in a store where we sampled a very rich chocolate mousse. We wish we had more time in Brussels with Senna by our side to show us more!

5.00Today, I had the pleasure of joining Greg’s food tour in Brussels, and it was nothing short of spectacular! From start to finish, Greg’s deep knowledge of Belgian cuisine, local history, and hidden gems made this experience truly unforgettable. The selection of stops was fantastic—each place offering an authentic taste of Brussels! What stood out most was Greg’s warm and welcoming nature. He made sure we felt comfortable, answered every question. Highly recommended—Greg’s food tour is the perfect way to taste, learn, and enjoy the very best of Brussels!

1.00The tour guide Paola was very nice but this was not a food tour. Over the course of 3 hours we ate an assortment of cheese, three pieces of chocolate, one craft beer and were offered another drink. We paid $187 usd per person for a food tour. Paola did show us around the center of Belgium and spoke about the history, yet, we did not eat anything. It was incredibly odd, Paola, asked us twice if we had dinner plans. This was not what we expected. I cannot in good consciousness recommend this tour to anyone. It was not an efficient use of my time or money.

5.00This food tour is a great way to experience Brussels through the food. Our guide, Asefeh, took us to the best places and told us which one to pass on. Are you the type that gets stressed out picking places to eat? If so, these guides will make sure you don’t fall for the tourist traps. Seating is always limited so it’s always a good idea to hold down a table while your guide takes care of the rest. Asefeh also gave us great information about the city and the historical facts about things we passed. 10 out of 10!
Amazing tour!!

5.00Bruno was our guide for a private tour for my family of 5 including my 6 y/o daughter and he was amazing!!! he contacted me several days prior to tour to ask about our food likes/dislikes which was great since several members do not like seafood, then customized the stops accordingly…… we had so many delicious authentic Belgium foods and beers, even my daughter loved it!!!! He was so knowledgeable as we walked, we learned so much about history of Brussels. Would definitely recommend this tour highly!!!

5.00We thoroughly enjoyed the Eat Like a Local in Brussels tour. Our tour guide Michael was amiable and knowledgeable. He bent over backwards to tailor the tour for us, even changing it on the fly based on comments we made on the tour. He provided helpful recommendations to avoid the more 'touristy' spots and truly eat like a local. He also provided a lot of interesting facts and information about Brussels and Belgium beyond just the food. A great introduction to Brussels.

5.00Ricardo was terrific! Every single stop was tasty and delicious and accompanied by fun historical and architectural facts. He took us to parts of the city we might not have discovered on our own. Very highly recommend! Thanks City Unscripted!
