Bruges Free Food Tour
Chocolate, waffles, fries and beer — Bruges on a full stomach
Belgium takes its food seriously, and this walk is built around the four things Bruges does best: rich Belgian chocolate, crisp waffles straight off the iron, twice-fried frites with the sauce of your choice, and a proper Flemish beer poured in the right glass. Your guide meets the group on the Markt and threads through the old town, stopping at family-run shops and stalls rather than tourist traps.
Between bites you'll pick up the stories behind each tradition — why Belgian chocolate is protected almost like a national treasure, what actually separates a Belgian waffle from any other, and which beer style pairs best with what you're eating. Groups are capped at six people to keep things personal, and note that some of the tastings along the way are paid for directly by guests rather than included in the free tour.
