What To Expect
We meet at Hostel Upperlink for a short introduction of our food culture, followed by a taste of the best fries in town at Frituur Tartaar. Once our guide tells you the story of the fries, you'll never call them French fries again!
Next stop is Ooost, the regional center for local products, to tell you about the famous Ganda ham and give you a taste of a delicious local candy that we try to keep hidden from the rest of the world.

Great introduction to Ghent

5.00Kasia was super friendly and knowledgeable! First stop was fries with Flemish Stew (they’re also very accommodating with a vegetarian/non pork version). Would call the portion more than a tasting but less than a meal. Next were the chocolate dragons, we had the option of either milk chocolate with hazelnut filling or dark chocolate with raspberry filling (we liked the hazelnut more than the raspberry). After that was the underrated gent mustard. It was spicy but in a wasabi way vs pepper. Last food stop was a small shop that gave us a chunk of liege waffles and a gent nose candy. Kasia left us at a local bar with a tasting of three different kinds of beer; raspberry, brown, and blonde. It is a free tour but they work on commission and a recommended “tip” is 10€. The cobblestone streets and steps into shops are not very handicap friendly. But, there was someone on the tour in a wheelchair and they made it to all the stops. Kasia was as accommodating as she could be. Overall we would recommend. It was a very nice introduction to Ghent!
Awesome

5.00Nice tour! Got some history from our enthusiastic and friendly guide Hans. Made several stops where we could taste little things. We made this tour at the beginning of our weekend Ghent and I thought that was perfect! This way you can look around a bit and get a first impression of the city before the rest of your weekend starts. We gave Hans a tip of 25 euros.
Great!
