Frequently Asked Questions

Which city does the tour run in?

Whichever of the four you prefer: Antwerp, Bruges, Brussels or Ghent. Each has its own brewing story, so the beers and the bars change with the city. Tell us which one you are staying in and your guide will meet you there.

How long is the tour?

Four hours, at a relaxed pace. It is a walking tour between bars rather than a march, with plenty of time to sit down with each beer.

What is included in the price?

A local private guide and six Belgian beers to taste. Food and any further drinks are not included.

Which beers will we try?

Six, chosen to show the range of Belgian brewing: easy-drinking blondes, rich Trappists and local specialities you are unlikely to find at home. Your guide picks them to suit the city and the season.

Do I need to know anything about beer?

Not at all. The tour works just as well for a curious first-timer as for someone who already has opinions about lambics. By the end you will be able to read a Belgian beer menu without guessing.

Is food included?

No, but your guide will know exactly where to stop for something to eat, and Belgian bar food goes rather well with the tasting.

Is there an option without alcohol?

Yes. Belgium takes its alcohol-free brewing seriously and there are good options in most bars, so tell us in advance and your guide will plan around it.

Can we combine this with a city tour?

Yes, and many people do. A full day walking the historic centre followed by the beer tour in the evening makes a very good day out. Just ask when you enquire and we will put the two together.

Is this tour suitable for guests with limited mobility?

Yes. Every tour we run is private, so it can be built around limited mobility rather than squeezed into it. Tell us what you need when you book and we will plan the route, the pace and the stops around it: the car closer to each stop, shorter walking stretches, seated breaks, and step-free alternatives where they exist. Wheelchairs, walkers and prams are all fine. Where a particular site is genuinely not accessible we will say so before you book rather than let you find out on the day.

Practical info

  • Start times: any day, at a time that suits you. We are flexible
  • Duration: 3 hours

Fantastisk tur og historier langs vejen. Det afsluttede med en virtueltour i Huset hvor familien gemte sig. Jeg tror dette er bedre end selve Anne Frank huset, hbor man skal gå sammen med 80 andre!

Michael was very knowledgeable on the subject of Anne Frank and her family. He was kind and helpful in managing our group through the city streets of Amsterdam. The virtual reality section was interesting because we could take our time to explore the Secret Annex on our own, looking at the details of the living situation that the 8 people in hiding endured.

Amicable guidance Sierra was knowledgeable about the dark history surrounding Amsterdam. She gave us good recommendations for food, and was a pleasure to talk with. She pointed out a lot of POIs that would easily have been missed without a guide.

Amazing experience with Michael (The Cheese Lover) in Amsterdam! Booked with Bespoke Amsterdam Experience. Expect 1.5 hr of amazing cheese, wine, and stories that’ll make you tear up. I highly recommend this experience to anyone coming to Amsterdam who wants to learn about artisan cheese. We decided on the sit down experience which was relaxing and very informative. Thank you Michael for all your expertise!
