Meeeeh. I really wanted to like this tour because Corneilus was very friendly and informative…read more However, I found the food options less substantative than other European food tours I've tried and certainly less so of a meal than I was anticipating and the therefore couldn't help feeling somewhat bamboozled as I was forking over the €55. In 2 hours (we had a group of 3, so we finished sooner than the advertised 3 hours, supposedly), we tried:
*2 pieces of chocolate from The Chocolate Line (which Cornelius brought with him);
*1 cookie in the shape of a small hand (Antwerpse handjes);
*1 small cupcake;
*1 dessert from De Ville;
*3 varied croquettes w/salad; and
*a Small pot of mussels from Fish A'go go.
Perhaps because I'm not one that gets really excited over sweets, but more of a foodie that appreciates real food, I could have gone with 2 more savory, more filling items and only 2 sweeter tastings. The website says to "come hungry", so I did, and sadly at the end of the tour, I still was.
The mussels saved the day, but in reality I could've found them on my own for much cheaper than the cost of the tour.
2.5 stars for an overpriced by half tour.
