It was fantastic, we loved the listening devices and how easy it was to use them. We loved the interactive games to play. Also loved the chocolate demonstration and of course trying the chocolate that was shown to us how they make it. There was also 4 different types of chocolate to try.

8.2-Hour Medieval Walk and Chocolate Tasting in Bruges

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 48 reviews · from $3

Walk Bruges from Markt to Minnewater, passing the Belfort, Burg Square, Gruuthuse, Saint Boniface Bridge, Notre Dame, and the Beguinage. A guide leads the roughly two-hour route, with craft chocolate tasting included. Check the language carefully: the tour is listed as Spanish only.

“There were no clear instructions. We waited at the tower for nearly 30 minutes but didn’t see anyone with a yellow and red umbrella. After returning an hour later, we finally saw someone with the umbrella, but he was just a Spanish guide who had no idea about an English or any other language guided tour. In the end, we didn’t use this service, despite having purchased tickets in advance.”
