The tour itself was lovely. The tour guide, on the other hand, wasn't exactly forthcoming with information. It seemed like the guide was more interested in just walking along and turning around occasionally to ensure he hadn't lost our group. Getting information out of our guide was almost like pulling teeth. We did take a boat tour of some canals in Bruges, and the boat driver was helpful in pointing out key buildings.
The Tour Operator delegated a bad-looking, seriously smoking "guide", without any local knowledge about the sight, however
he knew which train shall we choose.
It turned out that the guy's profession is painter and he is a friend of the tour operator.
Not even we, but tho other Australian guests were upset and feel us betrayed. I do not recommend anyine to book this one!
This was a great trip, Very fast pace though. You don't spend a lot of time at either place. Great to see the highlights of the cities. Great people led the tour.
It was a good trip.
This was one of two trips we scheduled with Viator -partnered to a local Amsterdam Tour company- it was so awful that we left the tour and bought train tickets from Brussels back to Amsterdam rather then spend one more minute with this company. There was no tour- it was an uninformative bus ride to the location. They took us on a double decker bus, with one guide!! The guide had to repeat everything in three additional languages and apologized to my wife that he was unable to give us all the information because he had to repeat it in four languages!!! The company had over booked this tour time and actually left 10 people standing on the sidewalk to wait for the next tour 2 hours later- they were very angry. The locations were pretty enough on their own, but the tour was a complete waste of time. Please review your partnership with this Amsterdam Company- we were greatly disappointed in both day tours.
Trip was worth doing but you would think that they have bathrooms in Europe, maybe NOT!
Very interesting! Started at Godiva in the Grand Place. Walked through the city and saw a lot of the sights. The tour guide was very knowledgeable. Stopped at 5 other chocolatiers in the city. We made our own chocolates at Cote D'Or!! It was great and then they gave us the most decadent hot chocolate I have ever had in my life! We tried a bunch of different chocolates there. Even tried the peppercorn chocolate (not so great). You will be glad that you did it. The tour starts at 0900 in the Grand Place and ends there approximately 1300. Our tour guide even spent the time to show us (after the tour) where the Janneken Pis was - the female version of the Manneken Pis. On our tour the Manneken was wearing a French military uniform! He was so tiny!!
Although this tour was pricey, everyone in my group of five agreed it was well worth it. To our delight, the tour had more general Brussels history than we anticipated. Although we had tried our best to research everything about Brussels ahead of time and learn everything ourselves, nothing beats having a knowledgeable local guide at your disposal. The tour guide's insight into the chocolate shops and his recommendations for which to buy at and why were priceless. We appreciated that the overall group was kept small and intimate. The chocolate shops that we visited were very nice and welcoming, although we only got to sample 1-2 pieces at each. The chocolate museum and demonstration was also great. The workshop was a bit more amateur than I expected, but we all still thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and would do this tour again in a heartbeat.
It was a great tour. We quite enjoyed it. The first stop was Antwerp unfortunately there was a renovation at the square and very dusty. We tried the french fries as recommended by the tour guide and it was very good. The second stop was Brussels. We stopped at Grand Place which was amazing place. The tour guide was friendly and nice. Tour was pleasant as the tour guide got everything under control. Not noise like the other two we had been. I will recommend this tour.
Good trip but there was no walking city tour, when we reached city Brussels and Antwerp guide droped us in a location and asked us go aroumd on our own rather we are free to do what we like. Guide did not take us through all the important monuments. It would be better if guide take us through the city as walking city tour.
Thoroughly enjoyed this tour. It offered so much more than chocolate despite that being my main reason for going on the tour. The guide was friendly and knew his stuff. We started out on a walking tour of Brussels for about an hour, viewing some of the sights, then the chocolate tasting began. The workshop to make your own chocolates was great fun and really informative. I would highly recommend this tour.
My daughter and I recently spent a week in Amsterdam and planned a day trip on our own to Brussels. I had already booked the Brussels Chocolate Walking Tour and Workshop and we were so looking forward to it. We planned the train trip from Amsterdam for that day so we'd have plenty of time to get to the location where the tour was starting. Unfortunately our train was delayed and we arrived 10 minutes late for the start of the tour. Much to our delight the tour guide was called and he came back to get us. We continued on the tour, enjoyed every aspect of it and loved the workshop. I give this tour and everyone involved high praises for the way everything was handled. Thanks, and we hope to see Brussels again some day.
This trip was absolutely awesome. Our guide was very informative and interactive. The tour gave us enough of time to click snaps and explore the place. I would highly recommend this tour to all wanting to see Belgium.
The guides were very informative!
Was an ok tour as too many churches and buildings were shown instead of chocolate related places. Tour guide was very nice
