3.Brussels Walking and Tasting Tour (Beers,Chocolates&Fries/Waffle)

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 929 reviews · 2 to 3 hours (approx.) · from $84Top rated

Walk from Grand Place to Manneken Pis and the Royal Gallery of Saint-Hubert with a local guide such as Tiago, Tim, Julie, or Walid. Expect Brussels history, architecture, chocolate, Belgian beer, and a choice of fries or waffle. The tour suits first-time visitors and small groups, though some tastings may take place outdoors.

“A very informative tour in addition to the food highlights. Walid is an excellent and energetic guide. You get 8 pieces of deluxe pralines, fries or waffle, and 4 Belgian beers to try. The pacing was quite good. If there was a way logistically to get a half waffle and half fries order, that’d be even better. If participating as a couple, I’d recommend getting one of each to share.”

Jorge was a great guide and pointed out the major landmarks in each city while keeping us all on schedule. We appreciated that we had about an hour and a half of free time in both places so we asked Jorge for recommendations and explored on our own which was great. The day was long but went by so fast and the bus ride was very comfortable. Would absolutely recommend…”
