Description
Good to Know
We love Mechelen and love to share it with the world. Still a hidden gem, it is very accessible from both Antwerp, Brussels and Ghent. It is quieter than the bigger cities, but has more charm in our opinion. Also, there are a lot of chocolate secrets!!
We like to surprise you both with stories and chocolate tasters! Examples are hot choc, pralines, handmade chocolate, macaroons, chocolate cookies, pain au chocolat, cakes and so on.
Please note that no stops are made except for taster and that locations vary (this depend on the day and time of your visit and number of people). You can ask your guide though if you want to stop for a photo.
Our tours are small groups only. For safety, but also because we like to know the people we guide.
We hope that you will enjoy touring with us.

Definitely recommended.
It was a very nice experience, besides enjoying the chocolate, we also learned a lot more about Mechelen.
There were only two of us and so we received plenty of attention from our supervisor.
