What you'll do

Who would visit Brussels and not want to indulge in all the chocolate that they can? No one, that’s who.

The real question is how to skip the mediocre and go straight to the sublime - the creamiest truffles, melt-in-your-mouth pralines, and some more unusual chocolate masterpieces.

Luckily for you, one of our local Brussels hosts will show you where, what, and how.

You’ll visit the most renowned chocolatiers, artisanal Maisons du Chocolat, and quirky chocolate boutiques where chefs are getting creative with their truffle flavors!

Hear about Belgian’s rich chocolate history, the stories behind why the city is known to be the best in the world when it comes to all things chocolate, and even learn a thing or two about how to make these world-famous pralines and truffles!

But, we know that what you’re really here to do is indulge, so you’ll do exactly that!

Reviews

    Although we had the most troublesome start imaginable due to my late arrival - me not knowing about Brussels' traffic and parking situation, the tour and time with Mickaël were exceptional. Mickaël was very nice, understanding, and with every step and word, you could feel his deep love for Brussels on the one hand but also chocolate on the other. He showed the places where locals go and which provide you with real treats as well as being great company while walking around the city. I would always recommend having a tour with him and letting him show you his idea of Brussels. Thank you for this very entertaining Sunday, and I hope to meet you again in the future.

    Andrea Mogni is the quintessential host, guide and gentleman with a vast knowledge of the history and architecture of the city of Brussels. This made the sampling of chocolates on the Chocolate Tour an unforgettable experience. The cobblestone streets were arrayed with boutique chocolate makers at every turn and the atmosphere was simply magical. As a family visiting for the first time, we highly recommend this Chocolate Tour.

    Michael was delightful to share many special areas around Brussels on a walking tour while adding special chocolate shops along the way to tasty and special chocolates! He explained the chocolates carefully and how they are made by each chocolatier. We had such a good time seeing Brussels and taking in chocolates! Who could ask for more?!
