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.”
