We had a great time. The historical presentation was accurate and very interesting. We made our own chocolate in their kitchen. We had delicious hot chocolate to drink. They have a very well stocked sales area with multiple manufacturers chocolates from around the world. An A+ experience.

Fun! Monica was a fantastic host- energetic and engaging. Her passion for chocolate shone throughout the entire 90 minutes. It was a highly enjoyable combination of learning about chocolate and hands-on experience in creating personalized chocolates. And so many excellent flavors and combinations to taste and purchase in the shop. Everyone in our group loved it.

Great family fun

Our host, Cocoa (real name!), was knowledgeable and engaging. It was our 11 year old twins’ favorite tour of the many we participated in while in the UK. All the chocolate sampling certainly helped! Highly recommend.

Great Fun for a Chocoholic

This was a wonderful experience! Alistair was fantastic; if he didn't tell us he was in training we wouldn't have known. Delicious chocolate to try, informative, and you get to bring home your own chocolate bar made by you!

Fabulous experience learning about chocolate and tasting all the varieties. Loved every bit of this excursion.

Worth the money.

Enjoyed the tour, but wish they spent more time explaining the process of making the chocolate. The area is small and tight, but got the job done.

Excellent tour

If you love chocolate, this is the tour for you! Kelly was informative and fun and made the experience interesting and entertaining at the same time. A great tour for all ages.

Highly recommend for chocolate lovers

Katerina_B, May 2026
Very cool and you get lots of chocolate tastings. The first thing is a history lesson on cacao with a liquid chocolate sample and I found it really informative. Then there was the chocolate bar making which went through the process and allowed us to make our own chocolate bars with whatever flavors we wanted. Then there was more history but with chocolate samples to go with it and a sample wall where you can taste whatever you like. I enjoyed it all.

Coco was the one showing...

Kim_T, May 2026
Coco was the one showing us around and she was very enthusiastic and made it very fun to learn about chocolate. Making our own chocolate was also really exciting and the tasting room at the end was a nice finish with all the different kinds of chocolate to try

Really fun experience
