5.00Nick is very knowledgeable and passionate about his home town of Ghent. We visited many chocolate shops and learnt about the history of chocolate making in Belgium and in particular, Ghent. We really enjoyed the tour and would recommend to anyone.
Fun tour with great guide!

5.00Really enjoyed our tour. Guide was very personable, sharing lots of history of Ghent, background behind why Belgium is so famous for chocolate and stories behind each shop. We thoroughly enjoyed this experience and recommend for a fun way to experience such a great city.

5.00We truly enjoyed our chocolate tour despite the 96° weather. It was hot but our guide (last name van damme) found shade for us as best he could. He was very knowledgeable with the local history and chocolate making (he’s a local Ghent resident). The chocolate was amazing! We liked the small group format. Highly recommend this tour!!
History of Ghent through chocolate!

5.00Great tour with Dieter! It turned out I was the only person who’d signed up on a very hot day, so it turned into a private tour! I loved how many of the chocolates I sampled were in some way connected to the social and political history of Ghent. I got an introduction to the history and landmarks of Ghent and got to try a huge range of chocolates along the way, from traditional to the new and unique. Many of what I tried was award winning. It’s a lot of chocolate! My only regret was it was so hot out that I couldn’t have saved anything for later. Highly recommend!
Fun tour!!!

5.00The guide presented a lot of local history - not only about chocolate-making - in a very entertaining way. We tasted 11 chocolates from 6 shops which were very good and very different from one another. My only negatives are that the bottled water supposedly included didn't appear, on a warm day when we needed it, and there was no chance to sit down during the two-hour tour. Nevertheless, I would highly recommend this tour.
