About this tour
This session follows Bruges' chocolate and waffle traditions through a row of shop windows and a waffle stall. You see the different pralines explained shop by shop, then the two main Belgian waffle styles compared side by side. It is a short session built around two of Bruges' best known food traditions.
We start with a sound check outside the first shop window, since the street can be busy with visitors. I move to the waffle stall for the second stop and answer questions about the different styles as we go. A short list of the shops and stalls follows by message afterwards.
It suits anyone curious about Belgian food traditions beyond a quick taste. It also works well before trying either dish yourself at a shop of your choosing.
Included
- Live video session with a local guide
- A close look at the dishes and where locals buy them
- A short list of places and dishes to try later
Not included
