5.00Liselot was our host, and she was absolutely wonderful. She made it light and fun, made us all feel welcomed, and explained things well. She gave the right balance between informational and fun, and gave excellent recommendations for after the tour. The group is given plenty of drink throughout the tour, and it was a wide, but delicious, variety. The places we went to were all unique as well, so it was nice to see what Ghent has to offer. I highly recommended this tour.

5.00Such a fun and unique way to experience Ghent! Our guide was full of energy and made learning about Belgian beer feel like hanging out with a friend who knows all the best local spots. We laughed, we tasted, we learned a lot (without it ever feeling like a lecture). Even if you're not a big beer nerd, you'll have a blast. Easily one of the best things we did in Belgium—don’t miss it!

5.00This tour os a great way to get to know Ghent as a city. The tour guides were knowledgeable and friendly. Each of the bars on the tour were lovely and really varied. The beers were each very different and the guides explained them all fantastically from how they are made, tasting notes, and associated drinking traditions. The chocolate and food pairings were a nice touch as well that added a lot to the tastings.
Chocolates and beers!
