Itinerary
We meet on the main square of Bruges for a short introduction and a taste of fries at one of the green stalls on the square. After our guide tells you the story of the fries, you'll never call them French fries again!
Next on the menu are waffles, a popular treat since medieval times. We'll tell you the origins of the food and offer you a taste.
In this artisanal shop you get to taste a delicious local candy that we try to keep hidden from the rest of the world.
Next on the menu is a chocolate treat, handmade in Bruges. Our guide will tell you the story of chocolate and offer a taste of truffles, delicious balls with soft chocolate filling.
The tour ends in the most romantic brewery of Bruges with an explanation of the beer brewing process and a tasting of their main brew: the Bourgogne des Flandres beer!

Really enjoyed this tour. Martin was very friendly and knowledgeable and gave us tips on where to go to get the best food.
I was in Bruges for only one day and decided to take the tasting tour, it couldn't be better, the guide Juan really surprised me, he has the ability to catch you with the story of every food you try, I totally recommend it.
Juan's service was excellent, many tastings, etc...
Excellent family tour, Hugo knows his job very well, he takes you to authentic places
Juan is a very good guide; he knows a lot about the history, customs, and legends of Bruges and Belgium. Today we visited the best places for typical Belgian specialties with him: chocolate, waffles, fries, and beer... there were tastings everywhere, and Juan talked about their production and significance to the population, a great experience.
The tour was awesome and Juan was very attentive to us, he taught us a lot of history and gave us very good tips.
Our experience with Astrid, our gastronomic tour guide was quite fun. We ended up being a very small group, only 3 people, including my husband and I but that only meant more food for us :) Since it was a smaller group it was very nice to talk more with the tour guide. We ended up having a nice variety of Belgian products to try including 2 types of waffles, pralines, fries and beer. As residents of Belgium, some things weren't so astounding to us but the vibes were nonetheless very nice and Astrid was very nice in explaining the better places to get waffles, fries, pralines and beer. The tour ended with a nice cup of Belgian beer that was very tasty and a fun chat. The tour wasn't too long and just enough to get a little taste of the main bites of Bruges. The tour itself is free apart from the little fee you pay to the platform you book through and it is based on a "tip to pay" basis so it falls to you and how much you enjoyed the tour. We would recommend this tour to anyone who has just arrived in Bruges, and it's their first time in Belgium and thus hasn't tried yet the 4 most important menu items, waffles, Belgian pralines, beer and fries.
The tour is very complete and they tell you a lot about history. The guide Juan is excellent, very kind, and gives very good recommendations 🙂
The gastronomic experience with Juan was great; he was explaining history to us at the same time as his gastronomy, highly recommended! Great discounts haha
We did the tour with Juan, who explained part of the history of Bruges to us while he let us try waffles, chocolate and the beers. He also recommended us places to visit and where to have lunch. I truly recommend it
