The amazing Antwerp Chocolate tour!

Everybody loves chocolate. We wonder about its fascinating origin, we fantasize about its mysterious powers, we love all stories about it, not to mention even the sheer delight of eating it.

I was the very first tour guide in Antwerp offering a delicious and entertaining walk on this tantalizing subject.

We plunge into the history of chocolate and how it found its way to this part of the world. You will find out everything on these precious beans that were used as a currency in the world of Aztecs and Maya’s, a strong medicine in the 16th century and an aphrodisiac at the court of powerful kings and emperors.

I will share (chocolate) tales and stories about Casanova, Madame de Sevigné, Charles V, Madame de Pompadour, Louis XIII and many more. You will learn why it’s good to eat chocolate and how it can protect you from illness and despair.

Not only will you live healthier when you eat chocolate every day, you will also look better since cocoa is wonderful for your skin..

A large part of the tour is dedicated to the history of the “praline” (filled chocolate). This Belgian invention from 1912 made our country world famous. And of course you will get a chance to taste some of the most delicious pralines in town, excuse me, in the world.
