Massive value, highly enjoyable, completely brill - We THOROUGHLY enjoyed our (2 hours ish!) tour around this fascinating chocolate factory! Our host Ed was AMAZING – great sense of humour and extremely knowledgeable and passionate not only about chocolate but also about its production around the world and fair treatment for all in the process. We made our own (delicious!) chocolate bars, tasted “original” Aztec drinking chocolate (and saw the face of god in the bubbles), accidentally ate some cocoa butter (lol, much better as a moisturiser than on your tastebuds), and tried ALL sorts of flavours of dark, milk, white, and even ruby chocolate. Such a fun and informative experience – our 10-year-old son LOVED it and so did we! HIGHLY RECOMMEND.

Chocolate, chocolate and more chocolate! - The tour was very informative and presented so well by our Guide Erin, she kept everybody engaged and made the experience really fun. The chocolate was amazing! You even get to make your own bar which was brilliant - definitely a must when in Edinburgh.

Fun, educational, prolly one of the best tours in Edinburgh - We got to try a sample of a very rich hot chocolate drink that you'll only get in fancy places at the start of the session. Learnt quite a few things about cocoa beans, including how their growing environment affects their tastes. Had an opportunity to indulge myself with chocolates from various parts of the world. Staff were friendly, helpful, well organized, and very experienced with handling different audiences, including small children. 100% recommend to anyone looking for a fun 2 hour activity in Edinburgh.

Fabulous way to spend a lunchtime - Our tour guide Rafi was so knowledgeable and enthusiastic. Aside from the obviously fantastic opportunity to eat lots of chocolate from all around the world and make your own to take home, it was educational and fun.

Birthday treat - I was treated to the experience in Jan by friends to celebrate my birthday and enjoyed it so much I returned with family to celebrate my Mum’s birthday. I had 2 different guides and each did it slightly different which was nice, but the delicious chocolates were still the same 🤩

A fun morning - It was a treat for my seven-year-old twin nieces. They loved it, so did I. The person who led the group, Ed, did a great job of keeping things interesting for the mixed aged group. Changes to my trip meant I needed to change the booking time and the response from the front desk staff was excellent. Definitely recommend it.
