3.00Well-enough organised and decent content, but a little underwhelming and the only food tour we've ever done where we were hungry at the end!
Great food tour through Ghent

5.00Has a great tour of the city while trying different foods. Tom was a great tour guide! Consider taking out the candy stop (already done during the chocolate tour) and add one more food.
Not a food tour

1.00Ghent itself is beautiful and the tour guide was extremely knowledgeable about its history. But this was not a food tour. It was a history walking tour. Over the course of 3.5 hours, we had 1 prosciutto sample, 1 croquette, 1 marzapan candy, 1 Ghent local candy, 3 candy samples from the oldest candy store, we STOPPED at a chocolate store, and then had 3 chocolate tastings from a different chocolate tour. Unfortunately to me, candy isn't food and I was famished. I deliberately didn't eat beforehand assuming I would eat food during the tour, and was left disappointed. Again, the tour guide was professional and the city is beautiful. So if you're more interested in history over eating, then this is the tour for you.
Excellent trip so worth it !
