Had a really lovely experience here. The shop on the main floor is fabulous and is great for finding gifts for various occasions. The tour was interesting and our guide Robbie was witty and did a great job of managing the diverse group. Loved that we got to learn about the history of chocolate production in York as well as produce some of our own creations. Good value for money and a very York appropriate experience.

Amazing experience!! Had been recommended by a family member and was definitely worth the visit! The tour guide (I think his name was Daniel?) really knew his stuff and was really interesting to listen to. Fab tour with lots of information being shared, plus all the chocolate samples too!! We decided to treat ourselves to a fondue with marshmallows and strawberries afterwards from the shop. 10/10 will recommend and definitely be back!!

A fun experience with tours that teach about the confectionary and chocolate history of York. The tourguide was really knowledgeable and obviously very passionate about chocolate. We had a very excitable child on our tour and a school trip while in the big chocolatier room and she managed to hold everyone's attention even with lots of distractions around. During the tour you get to try some of the different chocolates, and also get to try the stages before the chocolate is finished (interesting but not particularly yummy). You then get to decorate your own chocolate lolly, and watch some chocolates being made. The day we visited they were making passion fruit flavoured chocolate and we got 3 each to take away. Good experience, and who doesn't like trying chocolates?

What a brilliant experience, made all the more entertaining by our excellent guide, Richard - incredibly enthusiastic and thoroughly engaging! Our two boys (6 & 9yrs old) thought it was among the best things they did in York.
