“tutto ottimo, soprattutto per la presenza di un'audioguida in italiano non così scontata in Belgio. Per il resto se nel reparto bar ci fosse una più ampia scelta di cibo sarebbe molto apprezzato da chi predilige bere a stomaco pieno”

2.Chocolate Workshop and Self-Guided Museum Visit at Choco-Story in Brussels

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 72 reviews · 1 hour (approx.) · from $54

At Choco-Story Brussels, you make chocolate tablets, lollipops, and mendiants with a chocolatier, then tour the museum at your own pace. Louise has led especially warm, hands-on sessions. The experience suits adults and children over 8, with audio guides in 11 languages.

“The chocolate making was enjoyable, would’ve been better if there were games to play with prizes to be won and better music. The museum aspect was very boring and chaotic. I would recommend just doing the chocolate making class, I wouldn’t go back as my overall experience was below average.”
