I’ll be in both for a few days each, but I’m interested in taking a chocolate tour in only one of them and would love it if the tour incorporated some nice history tidbits. Which would you recommend? This, of course, does not preclude my eating chocolate in both towns!

I can't suggest a tour, but be sure and stop for a meal or chocolate at In Choc Gent across from Gravensteen Castle. The waffles drizzled in chocolate!!! The employees told us they'd been there for decades. It's lovely! I thought I was just going in the buy a piece of chocolate. You'll love Ghent and Bruges. Enjoy!

Just back from 3 weeks in Belgium and wanted to report that we took the Charlie Tours chocolate tour in Ghent and had a great time. We had a small group of 8, ended up tasting 9 different sweet treats and picked up some great history tips while walking through the town. They also do tours in Bruges, although we just ended up finding some of the Rick Steves' recommended shops on our own there.
