4.00Nice tour to learn some history along with chocolate tasting! I know it's challenging to hit on more than a few locations, but, smaller pieces + more variety and backstory (including how they stack up against others locally, regionally and globally) would have enhanced the tour.
Recommended!

5.00Not only delicious, special chocolate, but also beautiful stories about the history of Ghent. Guide Matthias was born and raised there and enthusiastically shares his knowledge. This tour is just really fun. I can recommend it to anyone who wants to know more about the city.
It's worth repeating!

5.00We had a great tour with our guide Tom. Good explanation about the history and also told here and there with some humor so that it remained fascinating. In between delicious tastings of sweets and the famous Belgian chocolate. Also the email contact with the organization Charlie's Tour is very pleasant and professional.
