The experience

The tour opens at the Grand Place, where your guide walks you through the history of the square and its guildhouses, then moves through the old city: past Saint Catherine's church, the rue des Flandres with its local food restaurants, and the remains of Brussels's old port. You'll see Manneken Pis and the oldest neighborhoods before arriving at the chocolate workshop, where you spend an hour making your own signature confections under expert guidance.

The chocolate tastings are woven through the walk: three tastings at one stop, then two more at Mary Chocolatier, where you'll taste the famous Truffle Champagne made with Rubi chocolate and learn the shop's history. The final stops bring you to the Royal Galleries of Saint Hubert, the first shopping streets of Brussels and home to Neuheus's original chocolate store: the inventor of the Belgian praline. Five more tastings happen across these acclaimed chocolatiers, each one chosen for its exceptional flavors. Everything you make during the workshop comes home with you.

The walking route covers the city's most iconic landmarks without requiring a car. Public transportation options are nearby if you need them. The pace suits all fitness levels, and the guide speaks English or French throughout.
