Charles was great very knowledgeable and went above and beyond for us. We were longer on the tour as we were all having such a nice time. Would highly recommend
We had a wonderful time with Charles. He shared his vast knowledge of Brussels with us as well as showing us the sights of the area. We enjoyed the food, the drinks, and the conversation. Would highly recommend.
If you get a chance to do a local food tour with Charles, your time in Brussels will be enriched immensely. We have traveled all over the world and Charles is one of the best guides we have had… definitely the best in Brussels. His passion for his city and country were evident. Each stop was a unique place we never would have found on our own, and he is your guy to get the best waffle in the city! Not to mention he was full of all sorts of history and added great stories along the way! I highly recommend booking a tour with Charles, you truly get a locals view of the city, it’s food, history and culture.
What a great tour! Food was delicious. Charles was fantastic. Very knowledgeable and very kind. Generous portions of food. Super full at the end. Highly recommend
Superb describes Laurent’s Brussels Food Tour. It hit all the right notes. The restaurants — excellent, the food — award winning. All that, then Laurent threw Brussels history lessons along with observations on the city’s culture. Simply put it wasn’t just a food tour but an afternoon of exploring neighborhoods, meeting interesting people with interesting stories while at the same time sampling beer, croquettes, waffles, chocolate and finally mussels. All I can say is arrive rested and hungry. Laurent creates an experience you’re unlikely to forget.

We had an amazing time with Charles. He did a great job of weaving history, pop culture, work the Brussels food scene.
Charles was incredible! So kind, so knowledgeable, so generous with his time.
Our walk through Brussels with Laurent was fantastic, and so much more than just a food tour. Yes, we ate plenty (make sure you come hungry!) and the food and drinks were all fantastic, but Laurent also showed us so many other aspects of his hometown - culture, history, art and much more. He was friendly, knowledgeable, and engaging throughout the experience. We had a great time, and would recommend this tour to anybody!
Local expert Charles shared his immense knowledge and pride about Brussels with me and my wife. We really enjoyed the conversation and the recommendations. The food was very tasty we would book this tour again.
Had the best time eating my way through the city with Charles! I learned so much about Brussels and found my new favorite spots for my next trip. Would definitely recommend this tour, especially with Charles, he’ll make you feel like a local in no time at all!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I’ve experienced several guided tours throughout my international travels, and Charles was, without question, the most exceptional guide I’ve had thus far! 20 out of 10! A true must-do experience in Brussels! From the very beginning, Charles was incredibly thoughtful, personable, knowledgeable, and engaging. What truly set him apart was his ability to seamlessly connect the food we were tasting to the rich history and culture of Brussels. He didn’t simply explain what we were eating and drinking; he brought each experience to life through fascinating stories, historical context, and local traditions that gave us a much deeper appreciation for the city and its cuisine. He also shared wonderful recommendations and helpful tips that demonstrated just how much he genuinely cares about his guests and their experiences. His passion and enthusiasm were contagious, and his attention to detail made the entire experience feel personal and genuinely special. Charles has a remarkable ability to make history interesting, food more meaningful, and a beautiful city even more memorable. It’s rare to come across someone who combines such extensive knowledge with genuine kindness, thoughtfulness, and a natural talent for storytelling. Charles went above and beyond in every way, and it’s clear he takes tremendous pride in creating an unforgettable experience for his guests. We’ve had wonderful guides throughout our travels, but Charles truly stands in a league of his own. He represents everything an outstanding tour guide should be, and we sincerely hope his dedication and exceptional talent receive the recognition he deserves. We couldn’t recommend this experience more highly. If you have the opportunity to explore Brussels with Charles, consider yourself incredibly lucky! I would absolutely take this tour again, and I just might!
Charles was amazing!!! The food was delicious but he also did a wonderful job of telling us about the history of Brussels! Probably the best food tour we have ever done.

Best food tour we’ve taken! Charles was very knowledgeable, we enjoyed our time walking around Brussels with him.

Great information, very welcoming and hospitable. Easy walk, food was nice.
We had a great time on this tour learning about Belgium while eating local cuisine. Charles was flexible and entertaining!
Charles was amazing! He not only gave us an eating experience, he provided us with other facts about the city. It was nice to have someone born, raised in Brussels. His knowledge was invaluable. Would recommend him for anyone who wants to have a really good experience in the city. Have done so many eating tours in different parts of the world. This was by far one of the best.
Absolutely the best. We had Charles giving us a food tour. He asked what we wanted out of Belgium. We said a little history and wow. Everywhere we went we got the culture, the history, the architecture, the local feel. Great experience all because of Charles
The food was delicious and our tour guide was friendly. I wish he had been a bit more enthusiastic about the tour. We did enjoy it
Enjoyed the tour with Charles who shared his extensive knowledge of Brussels food and history. Fun tour with local specialties.

Charles was absolutely amazing! His knowledge and friendliness was infectious and I would recommend him to everyone. The best food tour guide in Brussels.
We had the best time on our food tour with Charles. He was so knowledgeable and took us on a tour of the history of Brussels in the course of our food tour, which was a major highlight and the essence of what makes his tours special. We left not only having eaten the best food in Brussels but also with a new appreciation for and understanding of this fascinating city.
A wonderful and memorable tour with Laurent! His knowledge and exuberance made it a special night. The food selections were great! A+++++
We had a great evening with our very personable guide, Laurent. The food was delicious, and Laurent gave us lots of interesting information about the history, architecture and culture of Brussels. He also recommended places to visit (like the Basilica for the panoramic views) and restaurants to eat at during our stay. Highly recommend doing this tour when you first arrive in Brussels (or any city that has them).
The tour with our guide Charles was fantastic! We learned so much about the history of Brussels. I was expecting to enjoy great food and drink, but the tour was so much more. We had appetizers, main course, drinks and dessert all which were quite good, but the best part of the tour was our knowledgeable and personable guide Charles! Cheers!
The food was great, very Belgium. The Guide was easy to understand and was very organized. He gave us some history of Brussels, and made it interesting. The food locations were interesting and diverse. Food severed quickly.
We had a great tour through the streets of Brussels with our guide, Laurent. He gave us a lot of information about the history and culture of the city, as well as tips on other things to do during our stay. This is one of the reasons why we always try to do a food tour on the day we arrive in a new city. The food was delicious and it was lots of fun.
Charles was fantastic! He taught us so much about the city and it's history. The food was excellent and his stories really made the experience special. I feel he went above and beyond what a tour usually is. It felt like we had a friend showing us around. Definitely book and ask for Charles!
Charles was a wonderful guide and very informative. The food was fabulous.
Excellent experience. Charles was an incredible guide, the food was wonderful and we learned a ton of Belgian history in the process. Highly recommended!
Laurent was amazing fun and well informed. He had valuable information on history culture food and beer. It was great tour with excellent food and drinks.
Our tour with Charles was the most comprehensive food tour we have ever been on. He was careful to ask our interests and expectations for his tour plan. Being from Belgium Charles was extremely knowledgeable about the history and off the beaten path highlights we never would have discovered on our own. We lucked out being the only 2 on the tour and therefore were given his undivided attention. He was friendly with the staff/owners of each restaurant and we felt our experience was all the better due to these relationships. I’ve never had so much food included in any other food tour. It was all delicious. Charles shared with us tips for where to go afterwards and tourist traps we may want to avoid. He took excellent care of us and was a pleasure to spend an afternoon with. I highly recommend this tour with Charles!
Excellent guide who knew her stuff and we got to all the sites in the Brussels city area. If in Brussels and wanting to understand the food and sites I would recommend this tour.
Fancisco was our guide. He kept the tour at a lovely, steady pace and was very informative of many local sites in Brussels. We had croquettes, mussels, meatballs, chocolate and waffles to eat and 2 different bars for beers.
Laurent was our guide and it was excellent. He is a professional photographer coming out with a new book we’d like to get on wine in Belgium. The places he took us were right for us, we like unusual sometimes quirky places. His knowledge of the area gave more insight and knowledge, a learning experience included with good food.
We enjoyed our tour with Charles. After some confusion on our part as to the pickup location, Charles went out of his way to be sure we met up. His explanations of the food we ate and knowledge of Brussels was excellent. We had plenty to eat. Going to La Fleur en Papier Doré — also called Het Goudblommeke in Papier was a special treat. We would not have gone there without his knowledge.
Laurent was a great guide in Brussels. He explained a lot to us, didn’t keep track of the time, and even let us have a second or third round of beer. The value for money is excellent, especially since the food was delicious. Highly recommended. We were a group of six people from Germany and took the tour at 11 a.m.
Charles instantly made us fall in love with Brussels. His profound passion, respect, and affection for his hometown are unmistakable, and his extensive knowledge enabled us to experience the city in an extraordinary light. The food throughout the tour was exquisite, particularly the mussels. The waffle and praline provided the perfect finale to an outstanding experience—not merely a dinner, but a genuine immersion into the local culture.
Fantastic tour with Charles. Very knowledgeable, passionate and friendly. Perfect start to our Belgium trip.
Had and amazing tour with Laurent he was a really engaging and knowledgeable guide and I felt I learned a lot about Brussels in between eating some excellent local food
