Great fun experience to try in Edinburgh. We were a group of 6, including 2 children and our tour guide Fraser was so accommodating. He was very knowledgeable, clearly passionate about chocolate and a super guide. Loved tasting various chocolates and the hot chocolate was incredible! I will definitely recommend to others and hope to be back soon, thank you.

A deliciously fun way to spend an hour and a half. Our guide Mackenzie was informative and kept us interested with his knowledge and humour! We thoroughly enjoyed being able to taste so many different chocolates and it was great to be able to choose them yourself to suit your own tastes rather than just being given a selction. The chocolates we made and took away were delicious. We are so glad we booked and would definitley recommend this, especially if you are a chocolate fan.
Fun and Delicious

Edinburgh is filled with history - this is just FUN and delicious! Coco was our guide and she really made this tour above and beyond. We learned all about chocolate, got to make our own bars, and try lots of different flavors. I definitely recommend this experience!
