Brussels all-in discovery tour: beer, waffles, mussels and chocolates

Greet your guide at a central Brussels location and embark upon your epicurean exploration of the city. Begin by pleasuring your palate with fine Belgian chocolate at an authentic chocolate shop and learn the secrets behind one of the country’s most popular exports.

Next, stroll to the sophisticated sprawl of Grand Place to admire the grand Town Hall and architecturally diverse buildings that surround the UNESCO World Heritage Site. Continue to the Royal Galleries (Galeries Royales St-Hubert) to marvel at the throngs of glamorous boutiques that line the streets. Note the Manneken Pis statue and listen as your knowledgeable guide explains its interesting cultural significance.

Venture to some of the city’s most popular foodie haunts to tantalize your taste buds with local specialties like steamed mussels served with fresh herbs and perfectly crisp frites served in paper cups with lashings of creamy mayonnaise.

Sink your teeth into a sweet specialty like a Belgian waffle smothered in whipped cream and fresh strawberries and then cleanse your palate with an effervescent gulp of fine Belgian beer. Absorb the ambience of one of the city’s oldest taverns and listen as your guide unravels some beer legends.

Sated, return to the original departure point with your guide and bid your group farewell.
