Great time - Great guide, took us to places to try foods we probably never would have without the tour. Everything was fantastic and Emma was great.

Great food tour through Ghent - Has a great tour of the city while trying different foods. Tom was a great tour guide! Consider taking out the candy stop (already done during the chocolate tour) and add one more food.

Above Ghent rises Charlie Tours ... - While it was chilly and cloudy in Ghent, my partner and I, together with ‘sun in the house’ guide Lemmy and a small group of tourists, walked through the streets of the Arteveldestad. It was a bit of a wait and see if we could learn anything as born and raised Ghentians ... but fortunately it did not become a tour with the classic parade of well-trodden paths. The local tasters (sometimes: ‘tasters’) were hugely appreciated, as was Lemmy’s Ghent knew-you-dates and accent. I would say ‘We will definitely be back’ but for another tour at Charlie Tours and also to the shops we (re)discovered. And Lemmy rocks ... what else could it be with such a name!

Underwhelming and plan to leave hungry. - Well-enough organised and decent content, but a little underwhelming and the only food tour we've ever done where we were hungry at the end!

Very moderate. Not recommended - Very moderate. There was (substantively) little information shared about the sights (where we did pass but little was told about them). The guide seemed to have a limited command of the English language, searching for words each time which made him not fluent. Wasn't easy to understand either. The snacks / tastings were okay but not special. However, the price quality ratio is not okay!
