Hi. I have to admit, I usually have done my travels in Belgium with friends where one was driving, so haven’t had much experience with tour companies in the area. BeerSecret seems to be a company running tours from Bruges to local breweries such as Westvleteren (In de Vrede cafe at least), but I cannot say I have been on one of their tours before. If you are able to put together a tour in the area, I would try to make sure De Struise in Vleteren and De Dolle Brouwers in Diksmuide are on the list though.

Hi Paulo Are you looking to visit the brewery for a tour, or just to taste the beers? The brasserie where you can taste the beers is open every day, 10am to 8pm on Sundays. There are tours of the abbey as well available on Sundays (as well as Fridays and Saturdays) at 11am and 2pm. But tours of the brewery are not available.
