Lovers Nights

Centuries ago, Belgians took the luxury product their Spanish occupiers brought with them and turned the cultivation of this sweet treat into an art form. Over time, the word combo “Belgian chocolate” has come to signify indulgence of the highest quality, and participating—and sampling to your heart’s content—during these tours will make it abundantly clear why.

Chocolate Walking Tour and Workshop By Global Enterprises

Also worthy of a mention in our best guided walking tours list, Global Enterprises’ Chocolate Walking Tour and Workshop combines equal parts chocolate indulgence and Belgian gastronomic history. Kicking off at the world’s first Godiva store, established amidst the ancient guild houses of the Grand-Place in the ‘20s, the tour explains how Belgium earned its reputation as the top cultivator of the cocoa-based treat. After learning that the praline was a local Brussels invention—we can thank Jean II Neuhaus and his pharmacist grandpop for it—you’ll get to try one, along with many others at the capital’s most renowned chocolatiers. Next, it’s onwards to the workshop, where you will learn how to make the praline of your dreams, filling and all.
