"Excellent tour with Matteo! He was promptly at our meeting spot and gave us a fantastic history tour through the quaint streets of Brussels. Provided a lot of historic insight around the city, not to mention the history of chocolate in Brussels as well as the process of how it’s made. Took us to several high quality chocolate shops to sample their chocolates, which were amazing, as well as provide some history/background of each store. We are from the U.S. and Matteo was very friendly, and well versed in Brussels, and able to answer all of our questions. HIGHLY RECOMMEND Matteo if you’re looking for a private tour and want to learn a little more about Brussels while enjoying some very fine chocolates."

"If you are a chocolate lover or first time in Brussels this is the tour for you. Eric was excellent. I would recommend him to anyone. The chocolate tour was great and he was very knowledgeable. He went above and beyond and gave us a great tour of the city and showed us some hidden gems we were not expecting. I would rate this tour a 15 out of 10!!"

"Asefeh was a wonderful guide. She was informative, fun, and took us to wonderful chocolate shops. I would highly recommend her for anyone looking for a chocolate tour. Not specific to Asefeh but an overall recommendation, coordinate with the shops we are going to so they can provide samples and then plan on a bit more time for the visitors to taste, wander through the shop, etc. We would likely have bought more items at the various shops but didn't really feel like we had the time to get the "feel" of the shop and peruse everything they had to offer. "

"Our family did the Chocolate Tour with Tiago and had a wonderful experience. We sampled a variety of interesting chocolates at a bunch of different shops. Tiago provided interesting information about Brussels landmarks as well. It was time well spent!"

"We booked the chocolate tasting tour and Eric was a fantastic guide. He tailored the tour to our interests, and he told us a lot about the history of Brussels and shared the stories behind the chocolatiers. It was a really good experience and we would absolutely recommend it. Family from Denmark "

"We had a great time with Asefeh! She is incredibly warm, kind and easygoing. We discovered hidden gems we would have never found on our own in the short time we were in Brussels. We tasted some absolutely amazing high quality chocolates, mouse and much more! The places she selected were thoughtful and authentic. She really pays attention to you personally and it felt like walking around with a knowledgeable local friend. We had a bad experience in Ghent with another local, but Asefeh really turned the tables and made us feel comfortable, heard and acknowledged. Thank you so much, Asefeh! "

"Eric was a delightful guide to Brussels and its chocolate joys! He knows his stuff and exudes enthusiasm for finding the small and special chocolate shops that a novice might overlook. We especially loved the innovation and unexpected flavors we tried…pink chocolate and pralines with basil in them…delicious and who knew? We thoroughly enjoyed the time we spent with Eric and recommend him without reservation."

"Eric’s chocolate tasting was the first item on the agenda in our first day in Brussels, and it was absolutely perfect. He has incredible knowledge that encompasses both the history of Brussels and the history of the fantastic chocolates we were eating. Our family got to know the city through a delicious means, and Eric was charming, accommodating, and flexible. He was great with our two kids while still keeping the material high-level, and was an excellent guide!"

"Eric was a truly exceptional guide who transformed our beer tour into one of the highlights of our Brussels trip. His upbeat energy, deep knowledge, and genuine passion for Belgian beer culture made for an unforgettable experience. What stood out most was Eric’s authentic love for his city and country - he’s a remarkable ambassador for Brussels who brings the local beer traditions to life through engaging stories and historical context. His friendly, empathetic approach made us feel immediately welcome and comfortable. He guided us to local bars with outstanding atmosphere and history that we otherwise would not have found on our own. At each stop, Eric shared his extensive knowledge of the local beers, explaining the distinct styles and exceptional quality that make Belgian beer world-renowned. His explanations were informative without being overwhelming, perfect for enhancing our appreciation of each tasting. The entire experience was elevated by Eric’s talent as a guide and his experience in creating a personalized journey through Brussels’ beer culture. He never rushed us and took time to answer all our questions, creating a relaxed yet enriching atmosphere throughout the tour. If you’re visiting Brussels and want to understand why beer holds such an important place in Belgian culture, Eric’s tour is absolutely the way to experience it. His passion, knowledge, and warm personality make him the perfect guide to introduce you to the authentic beer traditions of this remarkable city."

"Asefeh was the perfect guide for our Brussels chocolate tour - relaxed, knowledgeable, and genuinely warm. She struck the ideal balance of information about chocolate without overwhelming us with details, while also turning our walk between tastings into an impromptu city tour. We appreciated her insights about local history and architecture as much as the delicious chocolate experiences! Even when we ran slightly behind schedule, Asefeh made sure we didn’t miss any of the chocolate experiences we had paid for. Her easygoing nature made the entire tour feel like exploring Brussels with a knowledgeable friend rather than a formal guide. Highly recommended for chocolate lovers who also want to get a feel for the city!"
