Avo is such an amazing tour guide! The tour is so informational and gives a great, in depth look at the history of Brussels and everything that represents it. Avo’s knowledge of beer, chocolate, and various other aspects of the culture was great and his passion is very evident. Although the tour lasted 6+ hours, every second was enjoyable and the small group atmosphere quickly allowed us to become friends as the time flew by, there was never a dull moment! I cannot recommend this tour enough!

This was an amazing tour. You get an in-depth lesson on both Belgian beer and chocolates, with an incredible array of samples from the best shops. The tour takes about 6 hours, and is perfect to fully experience the food/drinks and absorb the information.

No wonder everyone has given this tour a 5 star rating. Avo provides an informative & intimate tour - no more than 10 people. He provides you with some much knowledge of the history of Brussels, chocolate, beer, waffles, and bourbon. Be prepared - this is a long tour but worth the time and money. Thanks, Avo!

Avo was an amazing tour guide! I learned so much about chocolate, beer, and the history of Brussels during this tour. Avo is so knowledgeable about everything beer and chocolate. It was also obvious he loved talking about his city and his country. There were several chocolate samples from a variety of regions and local shops included and Avo explained each one very throughly. I also really appreciated him taking the time to research local stores who use fair trade ingredients. So much beer! Come ready to drink, but don’t worry, you aren’t pressured to finish and tons of snacks were provided. Avo was incredibly friendly and the whole tour really felt like hanging out with a friend who knows a bunch of awesome stuff. I highly recommend booking this tour! You will love it!
