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

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.”

Guides such as Coca Cola and Mr. Panda are praised for their energy. Expect dust, mud, crowds, and strong sales pitches at shopping stops.

“Pick up was easy, communication as well. Crew was good, gave us some tips and tricks. Driving a buggy was fun, lots of mud so prepare yourself with glasses and mouth cover. Traditional Dominican house does not exist, or does if its sales outside covered space, they show you beans of coffee, cocoa and leafs of tobacco. You can see how they roll cigars. No show of how to grind beans, just tools. Took 4 minutes max and then they are presenting products, to taste and see and to buy. Point is to take you there and spend money. This is really disappointing since we been in Egypt, Tunisia, Marakesh…”

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…”

I prepared questions in advance for case he doesn't say something about what i wanted to know but that wasn't the case... everything i wanted to know he explained without questions, also you will hear few things about Lanzarote 'past' that was also nice. Wine that we tasted was sooo good (for me only white because i'm not the fan of red one but that depends on each person). In total this was very nice and educative experience”
