“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.”
