Beer for Beer Lovers! - I participated of the Private Ghent Beer & Brewery Tour. I love beer and I wanted to enjoy the last days of summer with a perfect experience: and it was! Liselot is a kind guide and knows so much about beer! I could learn way more and I even have now a new favorite beer. I do recommend this tour!

Fun and interesting beer tour in Ghent - This private tour was the ideal way to discover Ghent’s beer scene. Over about three hours, our small group visited a beer spa, three hidden venues, and a brewery, tasting five different Belgian beers paired perfectly with chocolates and sweets. Having an intimate setting with our guide made the experience personal and interactive, complete with fun beer games and insider stories. Perfect for those wanting a tailored, immersive beer and chocolate adventure!

Great beer tour with David – highly recommended! 🍺 - We had a great beer tour with our guide David! He led the evening with a lot of humor and expertise – easygoing, personable and very entertaining. The beer selection was excellent, sometimes even with matching nibbles. The locations were also exciting and provided a special atmosphere. The group was pleasantly mixed, so a good mood quickly emerged.
We would always join again – especially a tour with David in Brussels 🍻😊 Absolute recommendation!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ An unforgettable beer tour with David – the best beer guide of all time! - ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ An unforgettable beer tour with David – the best beer guide of all time!
If you are looking for a unique and cosy beer experience in Ghent, a beer tour with Beer Secret is an absolute must. And if you're lucky enough to have David as your guide, you can prepare for a great day!
David is not just a guide – he is a true beer ambassador. His knowledge of Belgian beers is impressive, but what really makes it special is how passionate and accessible he tells everything. From the brewing process to the hidden stories behind local breweries: David knows how to deliver it all in a fascinating, humorous and warm way.
During the tour we visited some carefully selected breweries and cozy cafes where we not only tasted delicious beers, but also heard stories you won't find anywhere else. David created an open and relaxed atmosphere in which everyone felt welcome – whether you are a seasoned beer lover or just curious about Belgium’s beer heritage.
What really made this experience special was how personal and authentic it felt. No tourist clichés, but a real insight into the world of Belgian beer, accompanied by someone who lives for his profession.
In short: an absolute must. Be sure to ask for David – you won’t regret it. Santé! 🍻

Recommended - boating & beer tasting - Great boat anyway had with beer tasting. Despite the large group, the tasting was well matched to the large group of 18-35 year olds. Top day!

Great tour! - Carine was a fantastic guide and we had a great tour, which we all enjoyed very much indeed, including my wife who would describe herself as not really a beer drinker. Carine was so knowledgeable and enthusiastic that it would have been difficult not to enjoy the tour in her company. We visited some great places and tried some great beers and had a superb afternoon!
