5.00Talk about chocolate coma! I booked this tour for my daughter on our last day together before I headed home and it was the perfect ending to a wonderful trip! Chloe, our tour guide, was kind, friendly and knowledgeable! We loved her! We learned a few new things about the history of chocolate. Each stop had a well curated sample to try. We also got a great history of the stories and sites of Harvard Square. This tour was so fun and tasty!
Must do for any chocolate lover!

4.00A great experience to learn about the origins of chocolate and how that relates to the history of Cambridge. Unique spots that focus on local shops, and who doesn’t want to support the local shops. Reasonably priced fir all that you get.
Great tour!

5.00The chocolate tour in Harvard Square was delicious and fun. Sara, our tour guide, was engaging and interesting. She shared interesting historical information about the area and about the history of chocolate during the tour. The chocolate treats at each stop were delicious. A very fun and tasty way to spend an evening and to support a small business. Enjoyable for both visitors and locals.

5.00This was a fun tour that had interesting information about chocolate and Harvard Square. It was very easy to find Courtney, our tour guide, and the group at the meeting area. The directions were very clear. The tour group was a good size - about ten people - and fans of chocolate to one degree or another. The samples of cocoa beans and cocoa juice were very interesting, and the samples from the many shops through town were delicious.
Fun for locals too!

4.00My husband and I took this tour with our 12 year old niece and had a great time. We’re from the area and just did this for fun. Our guide Courtney was very personable and added her own flair to the tour. In general, I think this was a great way to learn more about the smaller businesses in the ever-changing Harvard Square. I would have liked to have learned more about how chocolate is made or about the history of it though. This tour was really about going to places and eating, which was great, but to me it felt like it was missing a little something. The best stop by far was at Salt and Olive to learn about balsamics and salt. We tried a chocolate balsamic and a chocolate salt, which was really cool. The shop owner was so thorough!
