The only fruit you will find is banana, the rest are artificial sauces/chocolate toppings. A bit too pricey for what they offer you :(”

Taste Ghent’s chocolates, beer, jenever, ham, cheese croquettes, and sweets while hearing local legends on a small-group walking tour.

“Ghent itself is beautiful and the tour guide was extremely knowledgeable about its history. But this was not a food tour. It was a history walking tour. Over the course of 3.5 hours, we had 1 prosciutto sample, 1 croquette, 1 marzapan candy, 1 Ghent local candy, 3 candy samples from the oldest candy store, we STOPPED at a chocolate store, and then had 3 chocolate tastings from a different chocolate tour. Unfortunately to me, candy isn't food and I was famished. I deliberately didn't eat beforehand assuming I would eat food during the tour, and was left disappointed. Again, the tour guide was professional and the city is beautiful.…”
