Fun, tasty and informative tour - Our tour guide was very fun and we enjoyed his explanations of the history and sights as well as the chocolate we learned about. We tried a lot of chocolate but you could really understand the differences from his explanations.

Private Chocolate Tour of Ghent - Sarah was beyond outstanding!!! A Ghent native and historian, she gave us more information on Ghent and the legendary chocolate shops than we could have imagined. She was so much fun and very patient as we shopped in each of the incredible stores we visited. Don’t miss the chance to take a chocolate tour with Sarah next time you visit Ghent. Incredible!

Informative, tasty and fun! - We were so surprised by the spontaneous guide who led us so nicely through the streets and past beautiful buildings in Ghent. With small delicious stops in between. Even though the weather was a bit bad, we brought an umbrella and a raincoat and we had a great time!

A yummy way to discover some hidden secrets of Gent - It was a really interesting tour adapted to the group including lots of things I didn't know, even though I have often been to Gent. Lots of delightful and hidden chocolate spots and mouthwatering samples. Good speed and nice small group. Good value for a fun afternoon of entertainment.

Tasty chocolate, but very pricey for what you get - Although we visited some very nice shops with really delicious chocolate, we found what you got for the price very disappointing.
We also expected some more background about the chocolate.
I went a bit crazy when it came to getting to the shops.
It's a pity that you don't get to taste the specialty in a store, but 3 sweets.
We missed a build-up in the tasting.
In between she had some nice information about the area where we were.
