Join an entertaining local guide on a culinary and historical journey through the charming streets of Ghent.

This walking tour combines the city’s rich heritage with its vibrant flavors, offering a perfect blend of sweet and savory treats at exceptional locations. We don't serve full meals, as this is not a traditional food tour. What is on the menu? Think cheese croquettes paired with authentic Ghent mustard, delicious Belgian pralines crafted by a Gault Millau-rated chocolatier, and a local beer enjoyed in a cozy 13th-century pub. Sample jenever (a local spirit) and try homemade broccoli beignets alongside delicious potato waffles with pickles. You’ll also visit Ghent’s oldest candy shop. But there’s more! As you stroll through Ghent’s medieval heart, your guide will share captivating stories, lots of fun facts, and fascinating historical facts that bring the city to life. A culinary adventure through Ghent you will never forget!

We really enjoyed getting to learn about high quality chocolate and its many presentations! What fun! Our guide was amazing. Tom’s knowledge of his city made our time so interesting and enjoyable. We loved it!

A great balance of food exploration, walking tour, and history lesson. We booked a last minute tour so it was just the two of us, but I believe all tour group sizes are small. Our guide, Tom, answered all of our questions with clarity and even passion. We ended up planning the rest of our trip based on his recommendations, including visiting the Adoration of the Lamb of God, and two dinner restaurants. We also revisited the chocolate shop and candy store the next day for souvenirs. Highly recommend!

A fantastic experience. We had Emma as our guide and she was extremely knowledgeable about Ghent. We tasted amazing food, chocolates, and beverages, but what we loved the most was learning about the history and culture. This tour checks all.the boxes and I highly recommend taking it at the start of your trip! 10/10
Get ready for a taste explosion . . .
