A Kentucky treasure. - This little candy factory is a gem. The candy is delicious and it was wonderful experiencing a little slice of Americana. Lucy and Ethel would be proud.

Chocolate tour - The sample was great. Good information on knowing the history behind the chocolatier. It was fun to see the production line. We were one of the first groups to get the tour so it will probably develop more. Good chocolate.

Short and Sweet History Experience! - Our tour was interesting. The guide was very informative and took the time to answer our questions. The candy is delicious! Very nice staff. Since the tour only takes 30 minutes, it is easy to fit into any itinerary. I highly recommend this activity as part of the Frankfort KY history experience.

Worth the visit - Took the tour. The guide was very pleasant. Amazing that they do everything by hand. Loved the bourbon balls. Lots of other items to choose from as well.

Yummy - Learned the history of the woman behind the great bourbon ball. Felt like stepping back in time. Good tour and not too far from spring cove park.

Bourbons balls and booboos! - A nice, historical candy shop. He chocolate is made in store, free samples and low cost manufacturing booboos that taste the same. The tour is up to you but it is not ground breaking. A nice quick stop for some chocolate.

$10 for a tour and a bourbon ball. Felt like it went to a good cause but not worth the tour. - The tour should have been a free walk through. Nothing worth seeing in the back factory part. The company is redoing the back factory for new tours so maybe the future tour will be worth it.

Overpriced Tour - Don’t waste your money on the overpriced tour. Tour was very short and cost $10/person. More like a $3-$4 tour. Candy was good but a little pricey. Use the tour money and buy some candy instead.

Stay away from this tour!! Total ripoff!!! - If I could give this a zero star review I would. We were charged $20 for an 11 (eleven) minute tour and a single Bourbon Ball. When we arrived we checked in a half an hour early. They had us wait until our scheduled time even though my wife and I were the only ones on the tour. They took us into the “factory”; it’s one room and a closet!! The factory wasn’t operational so our guide told us to look at a video monitor to explain what they did. It was such a joke. At the end of the tour after watching a 4 minute video of the history of the founder they brought a single ball for us to try and then told us to go into the chocolate shop if we wanted to buy anything. Stay far far away from this tour. Very disappointing. My wife and I are still bewildered that you can charge $20 for what they called a tour.
