    "We went on this tour last week when we were in Brussels, our guide was Daniel and it was a great tour - made all the better by Daniel! We visited 3 chocolate places, learning the history of them and how to recognise the tourist-trap mass produced places vs the hand made chocolate places"

    "A perfect way to spend an afternoon- some history, some walking, some beer, some chocolates, and fantastic hosts (Julie and Jeremy) and company! We did this during the day on New Year’s Eve and had such a great time, we even reconnected with some of our fellow tour-goers later in the day to ring in the new year! An unexpected bonus to this tour for sure, but a welcome add no less! I will say, I was somewhat surprised we went to “general” pubs rather than well known brew/tap houses in Brussels but it was still an excellent time and make it so we could try many different things"

My husband and I were in Bruxelles for a day and we decided to get a tour. The hungry Mary tour was the most recommended so we bought 2 tickets for it. You can pay online ot by cash the day of the tour and they have a tour at 1pm and one at 3pm if there is request for it. The whole booking was effortless. We had Marie and Jerome (apologies if I misspelled it). At the beginning they gave each one of us a bottle of water and then gave us a rundown of the tour. We started with chocolates and later moved to beers. We tried the best chocolates in Bruxelles, about 2 to 4 pralines in 4 different cholateries. Then we drank 6 beer samples in 3 different bars. We also had a small charcuterie plate at one of the pubs. In between Marie talked about some of Brussels history and legends and gave suggestions on restaurants. She explained every chocolate and every beer and she was not only knowledgeable but also funny! The tour lasted about 4.5 hours and we walked quite a bit; we covered most of the center of Bruxelles. We loved every part of it because this was a great way to see the center of Bruxelles in a fun and more local way. If you are in Bruxelles even for a few hours don't miss this tour because you'll be missing out on a great experience. I highly recommend it!

My mom and I did this tour during our recent trip to Belgium. This was by far the most fun experience I had during my first trip to Brussels. Julie and Jeremy were the greatest hosts. Knowledgeable, funny, friendly, and just all around a joy to be around. A wonderful introduction to the city & a glimpse into its history. And of course, a lovely introduction to wonderful Belgian Beer & Chocolate. Well worth the money; with half a day of entertainment seeing highlighted bits of the city, no less than 6 beers, a few chocolates, and plenty of nibbles. Julie hung around and had a drink with our group well beyond the end of the tour. We even got to meet Mary herself. ♡♡ A lovely couple on our tour bought everyone in our group a very rare bonus beer. (We ended up running into them at a Christmas Market in Cologne, Germany a couple days later. SMALL WORLD!) Can't wait to travel back with my husband and experience this afternoon all over again! If you are in Brussels and you enjoy good beer and good fun, make this tour a priority!

We went on this tour last week when we were in Brussels, our guide was Daniel and it was a great tour - made all the better by Daniel! We visited 3 chocolate places, learning the history of them and how to recognise the tourist-trap mass produced places vs the hand made chocolate places. At each we tried several chocolates, and Daniel provided lots of info and the shop owners were very kind and patient. We also visited 3 restaurants to try different beers, again with several choices and lots of info about the beers and establishments. At one of them we had a lovely selection of meats, breads, cheeses, and fries. Not a whole meal but you didn't leave hungry! Between all these places, as we walked around Brussels, Daniel showed us all sorts of things, told us the history of the city and us recommendations - some of which we tried later and they were good. The other people on the tour were great too, and we snagged a restaurant recommendation for Amsterdam too! If you like beer, chocolate, food, walking, and good times: go!

The tour may be expensive, but it's well worth it and the best tour we've been on. Our tour guide, Marie, was not only knowledgeable about the beer and chocolate, but also gave us a history lesson while walking around Brussels. From start to finish, the tour lasted about five (5) hours going from several different chocolate shops and local pubs. Prior to this tour, we took a historical walking tour and Marie put that tour guide to shame. If I could go back I would've canceled that tour. I highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Brussels!

  • Heidi McIndoo

AMAZING!!!! Tour guides Julie and Alex were both extremely friendly & knowledgeable about Chocolate, Beer, History! We started with walking around tasting chocolates from a variety of shops--multiple at each shop! Then had a big of Belgium history which was fun! Then ended the tour by relaxing a bit at a few pubs to sample beer. I was in it for the chocolate and my husband for the beer but we both loved the tour! Glad we did it at the beginning of our visit to Brussels so we learned about bit about the area and the lay of the land.

  • M. Marzulla

Great way to spend an afternoon exploring Brussels. Martin and Mary took great care of us and provided us with an experience we won't forget. Both were professional & super friendly (and occasionally funny XD) and helped elevate the experience to one of the best tours I've taken. The tour obviously highlights excellent chocolate and beer, but also acts as a historical walking tour between (really cool) venues. I can't stress enough how amazingly fun this was, you won't regret booking this experience.

Went on this fabulous tour yesterday. Our guide Marie was excellent! Informative and funny! Appreciated the recommendations too. Gailor, who was assisting, was ready to lend a hand at any moment and enjoyed a great conversation after it was over when many of us stayed to have more drinks at the last stop. Travelling alone, this was a great way to have some company with the other attendees. This tour absolutely deserves the high reviews, definitely recommend it!

  • Gavin Cunningham

This was hands down the best thing we did in Brussels! Dan and Emmanuel were fantastic guides and the chocolate and beer were delicious! The whole tour was funny, engaging and informative, the guides did a great job with integrating the group - so much so that half us went out together after the tour for more drinks! There was families, couples, friends and solo travellers on the tour and everyone loved it! Will do again!

  • Ursula Gibbs

We had an amazing day with Daan and the Hungry Mary Team in Brussels! The perfect combination of beer, chocolate, information and tons of fun thrown in. We are travelling with our young daughter (21 months) who was fully embraced by not only the guides but the whole group. The perfect way to spend a day in the city. Thanks so much! Have a wonderful Christmas guys.

  • Amina Dagmash

This is a great way to spend afternoon in Brussels - you will visit multiple chocolate shops and pubs alongside historical landmarks. We have really enjoyed all the bear and chocolate and learned a lot of new information about Brussels from our tour guide Jeremy. Will definitely recommend to anyone who is traveling to Brussels!

  • Ryan Hill

Highly recommend this tour. Julie is a fantastic guide and so knowledgeable about Brussels, the chocolatiers and their chocolates and, of course, the world famous Belgian beers. We got to sample some really great ones, in brilliant bars and with great company. It was a fantastic way to spend an afternoon and evening!

  • Manny Wolfe

This was easily the greatest tour I've ever done anywhere! So many chocolates and all of them amazing, and the same with the beer! But our guides Julie and Gaylord really made it special...both so entertaining all the way through. This tour made me full fully in love with Brussels, thank you!

  • Malene Eilersen

Fantastic tour with Martin, Manu and Laura! Wonderful cultural and historical insights, as well as delicious chocolate and beers of course. All the places we went to were super cool. Highly recommend for anyone who wants to have a fun afternoon with good company and tastes of Brussels.

This walking tour took us through old town and alley ways leading to very old pubs, very chic chocolatiers and beer sampling complete with pomme frites! Our guides kept us entertained while educating us on the beautiful city of Brussels. Great way to spend a day in Brussels!

Can’t speak highly enough of Daniel and Emma. Very welcoming, knowledgeable and approachable. Had an excellent time on the tour today as a pair of Australians on our first trip to Brussels. Would thoroughly recommend this tour to English speakers of any age group!

  • Kevin Rey

Leo and Jeremy were amazing guides. They had a great sense of humor keeping the group engaged, laughing, and most importantly always full with chocolate and beer. We saw parts of the city we otherwise wouldn't have and learned more about some of the major sites.
