We visited 5 chocolate stores. It was a lot of walking and you got 1-2 pieces of chocolate in each store (7 pieces in total). The guide likes chocolate but is definitely not an expert. The tour seems to be quite overpriced. You can go to all these stores yourself and ask for guidance.

This tour was one of the highlights of our trip. I believe our guide was Julia, and she was fun and very knowledgeable. We tasted a lot of delicious chocolates and ended up going back to some of the shops for more afterwards because they were so delicious. We also learned a lot about chocolates that we didn't already know, and even discovered a neighborhood that we hadn't visited yet to that point. We had an 11 year old with us and she loved it as well, so it's a great tour for both adults and kids. Would highly recommend!Trip was cancelled by tour company because guide was ill and they had no backup guide They were very nice and offered to reschedule but we had no time Money was refunded but we were disappointed

The tour started before the Official start time. Then when I asked the guide if this was our tour she first said no, then after walking around for 15 minutes I asked her again to please check the tickets, only then she realised we were part of the tour. Really bad experience, she doesn't have a list of names and started 5-10 minutes before.We were not notified of the change in pick up point. But a store clerk was a help. Julia the guide was great. Enthusiastic and informative. Great into to the chocolate world

Out guide, Tarek (not sure I spelled this right), knows his stuff. He talked about overview of how chocolates are made, where and how makers source their cacao. I thought he knows chocolates like the back of his hands. It’s chocolates galore! I never had so much chocolates in a day my entire life until this activity. I thought all of them are good chocolates, but then there’s okay-good chocolates, then there’s chocolates that are nothing short of euphoric, and there’s those in between. I am not a chocolate person, never a fan of dark chocolates. This activity introduced me to dark chocolates that are not a bitter taste in my mouth. I ended up giving dark chocolates a second look.
