5.00It was at i expected. Good selection of chocolate additives. The guide was lovely and informative. I did wish I got told about the ingredients before the flavouring to add for the chocolate, or be given a list, it was hard to choose! You get a discount as well in the shop. Lasted about an hour, got to come back after doing some shopping to collect the chocolates. Class of about 16? Open to all ages.
Fabulous, fantastic day

5.00An amazing attraction! Austin made our tour and experience extra special by explaining the history behind the chocolate factory more engaging. We got to try plenty of chocolates along the way as well!! I booked the Truffle rolling tour as well, meaning we made our own chocolates and got to experience a live demonstration on how some of the chocolates were produced! The shop is also a must-see! The chocolates are incredible and are very high quality! The chocolates in the mini-fridge next to the till are beautiful! I'd recommend doing the tour and truffle rolling, or just popping in and buying some chocolates!!
Great class, chocolate and store.
