The Secret that should be shared with everyone. - I booked this tour because my partner really loves Belgian beer. Though I am far from a connoisseur, I found the tour really interesting and enjoyable. Our guide Liselotte had her work cut out for her as she had to switch between English and French all the time to accommodate everyone. That is not easy to do. Despite some challenges (some of the party had special needs), she remained calm and cheerful and engaging. I would recommend this tour.

A must for beer fans old and new! - Great experience! Our tour of Brussels and introduction to all things Belgian Beer was amazing. Lot was a fantastic guide and we couldn’t have been more pleased.
We are very glad we booked this and would highly recommend. She was beyond accommodating and really helped open our eyes to Belgian beer which we are now huge fans!!
I am more into craft beer than my wife but Lot was great at explaining things at both of our levels. So if you are a craft beer fan or just starting to get into it, the tour will work great for you!!

Fantastic! - Really cool activity to do in Brussels!
We were a group of 10 Belgians guy doing a bachelor party. Liselot was able to get us all hooked into what she knows best : beers, how to make them, and their history. She had an answer to all of our questions and made sure to take notes for us in case we wanted to dig further on specific subject.
Some of us even discovered a new favorite beer!
To recap - a must-do in Brussels :)
Merci Liselot!

Tastfull secrets of Brussel - Brussel its not only the capital of Europe but also the capital of hidden beer-secrets. Liselots passionate way of telling hidden stories of breweries, beer and chocolate makes this tour to a sparkling event! After this tour you'll understand why beer for the Belgians it's an art! She is a real ambassador with stars shining in her eyes from the moment she takes you into a cousy bar. All those trivial stories makes you curious how live must have been in the Old Brussels. And the more you taste the more you want to know. This tour its about real people. Go for it Liselot! 🍻😉

Excellent guide and surprising discoveries ! - I subscribed as one of the first people for this brewery tour. I always wanted to visit some breweries when being in Belgium. For some reason, I couldn't easily find another tour that could offer a visit to different breweries in one afternoon.
First, we were introduced to the brewing process in an authentic bar where Liselot took time to explain us the whole process. I would have not appreciated a sour beer without her explication because the taste is like vinegar, haha. Apparently Lambic beer (so that sour beer) is a big thing in Belgium, and via her stories and background we all get engaged in that Lambic culture! Only thanks to her, I understand now why Lambic beer is actually not a lager, nor an ale. How interesting! After she took us to a brewery that is not accessible for individual visitors, and that made this visit even more precious!
Can't believe how much effort she is doing to give her clients the best experience!
A big thumbs up, and i'm sure you too will love the experience!
Congrats to Liselot !

Excellent taste of Belgium - Great experience with Liselot! She was able to provide us with a lot of knowledge and shared her passion in craft beers. She knows very well the local breweries and knows exactly the best times and places to go. Recommend to take this tour and the other ones offered by her. Thanks!

Meh - The guide was clearly very passionate about breweries and beer. Also, knowledgeable in the history of it all. Unfortunately, I didn’t enjoy it as much as I thought I would.
It’s all a bit disorganized, as is the guide. There was also just another couple with us, so I ended up trying to order us all an Uber since we were all tourists and were not left where the tour started, but across town. We ended up taking a train back to where we started.
One tip if your customers are all out of town: end the tour where you began. It’s just better customer service.
