Why this plan works
Each tour is a half-day with a start time, so you never waste a morning deciding. Between tours you keep free time for the sights that interest you. Chocolate and beer tours teach you what to buy, so your souvenirs are better chosen.
Day 2 options
Choose the chocolate tour and workshop (3 hours 30 minutes, minimum age 6) if you travel with family or love chocolate. Choose the beer tasting tour (4 hours, minimum age 16) if you prefer beer and old taverns.
