5.00Definitely a must try for chocolate lovers, especially as it's just off the royal mile. I went on a 10:30am tour on 13th April. Our tour guide, Mackenzie, was a laugh throughout and good at informing us about how chocolate is made and he was very interactive with everyone. At the beginning of the tour we got to taste some hot chocolate which was lovely. We got to make our own chocolate bar using different ingredients and molds. We then also got to taste some chocolate and there was such a big selection of milk, dark and white chocolate. There were cards explaining which chocolate they were so you can buy the full bar in the shop if you wanted to. There was a mix of adults (me) and families in our group. There are only a few stairs in the first room of the tour (the jungle room) but the rest of the areas are flat and the jungle room had a lot of benches to sit on.
Great for a family activity
