Lovely tour trying different chocolates and candies throughout the city. I did like that each place we went to had a tie to Gent instead of us just going to places that had the most shops. Our guide Iris was very informative and gave us a great overview of some of the history of Gent as we stopped from place to place on the tour. The only piece I would add is a bit more on the general history of chocolate making in Belgium/Gent.

Excellent trip, almost like a tour guide with chocolate tasting on top. 6 or 7 stops for chocolate or sweets, sometimes 2 items at one stop. Nick was very engaging and funny
