Bruges: The Beer Experience Museum Entry with Audio Guide

1.The Beer Experience Museum Entry with Audio Guide

★★★★★★★★★★4.4 · 201 reviews · 1 day · from $16Our pick

You explore Bruges Beer Experience on the second floor of the Old Town museum, using an iPad Mini audio guide in 10 languages. Learn about brewing, Trappist beers, food pairing, and women in beer. Children up to 12 have a bear-themed tour. Add a beer tasting downstairs for €6.

“tutto ottimo, soprattutto per la presenza di un'audioguida in italiano non così scontata in Belgio. Per il resto se nel reparto bar ci fosse una più ampia scelta di cibo sarebbe molto apprezzato da chi predilige bere a stomaco pieno”

3.e-Scavenger hunt Antwerp: Explore the city at your own pace

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 67 reviews · 3 hours (approx.)

You guide your own group of up to six through Antwerp using a smartphone app, starting at Groenplaats and visiting landmarks such as Grote Markt, the Cathedral, Het Steen, Vlaeykensgang, and the Meir. The trail is available around the clock, supports several languages, and lets you pause whenever you wish.

“We (my brother and I) completed the walk and were left not totally disapppointed but decidedly unimpressed. The walk did touch upon the majority of the key spots in and around the Antwerp city center, but the texts were uninspired - missing both anything unique or special - and the riddles and their answers were not really enlightening, and did not add anything to understanding or appreciating the city. Overall, we left with the feeling that using a different tour would have been better.”

Beer Tasting and Scavenger Hunt in Brussels – About 3 Hours

7.Beer Tasting and Scavenger Hunt in Brussels – About 3 Hours

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 35 reviews · 3 hours (approx.) · from $40

Explore central Brussels with a puzzle booklet rather than a live guide. Start at Rue de l'Ecuyer 5, solve clues around Grand Place, Manneken Pis, and the Queen's Gallery, and visit bars for Belgian beer tasting. The private format suits your own group, but the map and clues require patience.

“THIS IS A SELF GUIDED TOUR! You are required to figure out puzzles to get to the next step which is a neat idea but can be very frustrating if you miss a facade or something on a wall. I wasn’t aware it was self guided and would have appreciated if it was in the description as I wouldn’t have booked knowing it was the way it is. The beers at the various bars were good but were half pints. You are provided with a book full of puzzles and it has the answers and a map that’s very hard to read.”
