The best chocolate! - Mandy was such a brilliant guide for the tour. She was engaging and gave lots of interesting facts and helped make it a special experience. She showed us some of the main cultural elements of Ghent and stories of its people in history. That was all amazing but the highlight was obviously the chocolate - we tasted so many different kinds, including some high end, top quality chocolate. Definitely recommend for chocolate fans!

Chocolate tour with my granddaughter - Interesting tour. Our tour guide was passionate about Ghent and chocolate. He passed along stories about Ghent history and local sights as we walked from one chocolate shop to the next. Nice discussion of the history, sourcing, production and varieties of chocolate. Samples were great.

Ghent chocolate tour with Tom - We learned about the town of Ghent while walking on the food tour with Tom. He shared specific information about the town and the chocolate. The shop owners were gracious when speaking to us. Tom intentionally selected a variety of chocolate which made it fun!

Sweet journey through Ghent - We did Charlie’s Chocolate Tour in Ghent and had a great experience, thanks largely to our guide, Nick. He was friendly, engaging, and clearly knows both his chocolate and his home town. His knowledge added real depth to this small group tour, from the history of Belgian chocolate to insights into Ghent’s lesser-known stories and landmarks.
This wasn’t just about visiting chocolate shops—it was a walk through the city’s backstreets, hidden alleys, and quiet squares you’d never find on your own. At each stop, Nick gave just enough background to keep things interesting without overloading us, and he was happy to answer questions along the way.
The chocolate itself was excellent—artisan, high-quality, and varied. We tried everything from classic pralines and candies to more experimental flavours, with stops at smaller, locally owned chocolatiers that felt like well-kept secrets.
Overall, it was a fun, well-paced experience that felt both local and personal. If you’re in Ghent and want to learn a bit, see places off the usual tourist track, and enjoy great chocolate, this is a great choice.

A Sweet and Unforgettable Tour! - What an incredible walking tour! Debbie was absolutely fabulous — she didn’t just share historical facts, she brought the city to life with her passion, warmth, and genuine love for the area. Her storytelling made every stop engaging, and her energy was infectious throughout the entire experience.
And let’s talk about the chocolate — delicious, delightful, and perfectly woven into the tour in a way that made it both fun and indulgent. The combination of sweet treats and rich history was just perfect.
Debbie was superb from start to finish. Her attention to detail, her humor, and the way she connected with everyone in the group made this tour truly special. A huge thank you to Debbie for such a memorable day — highly recommended! Definitely request her if possible!!

Chocolate is my favorite! - Valerie did a wonderful job with the explanations and storytelling. It would be great if we could get a list of all the shops we visited to make it easier to go back and shop at each one! (Maybe a QR code or just a list we can take a photo of at the end of the tour)

Great tour! More about gant and less about chocolate than i expected - I thought we had an amazing friendly host who was able to storytell very well. It would have been nice to learn more about the relationship belgium has with chocolate, and why gant has so mant chocolate shops. The chocolates were great!
