No. Seven group meals plus daily breakfast are included. Some lunches and dinners are intentionally left open so you can choose where you want to eat and have time to explore on your own.

Beer and tastings that are part of scheduled brewery visits or specific included experiences are included. Additional drinks at restaurants, bars, Belgian Beer Weekend, or during your free time are your responsibility unless otherwise specified.

Not at all. You don't need to know anything about Belgian beer before coming. The trip is about discovering Belgium through its beer, food, cities, history and culture. Come curious.

Absolutely. This isn't a trip where every minute of your day is scheduled. There will be experiences we've planned together, but also time to wander, shop, visit a museum, find a café, take a nap, or discover somewhere on your own.
-
No. You're welcome to skip an activity or leave one of our walking experiences early if you'd rather explore independently. Please note that unused or skipped included activities are not refundable.

Quite a bit. Ghent, Bruges and Brussels are best experienced on foot, and some days include walking tours and time exploring historic city centers. Comfortable walking shoes are highly recommended.

If you cancel more than 90 days before departure, payments are refundable minus any nonrefundable supplier or processing costs already incurred.

Belgium in September can bring sunshine, cooler evenings, and a little rain — sometimes all in the same day. We recommend packing layers, a light waterproof jacket, comfortable walking shoes, and a small umbrella. Bring a casual-nice outfit for group dinners, but nothing formal is required.
Don’t forget a European plug adapter, reusable water bottle, portable charger, and a little extra room in your suitcase for Belgian beer, chocolate, and anything else you discover along the way.
