Must visit! - Clear and fun explanation of how chocolates are made. Get to taste multiple favours; raw, dark, milk, white. You also get to make your own bars. The shop sells lots of different favours and varieties of chocolate bars. A must-go shop!

10/10 for Celiacs - My friends and I booked a tour on June 11 with Lucina (I hope that’s how you spell her name). I have celiac disease (gluten free) and she was amazing. She was very knowledgeable and went above and beyond for me. On top of her being very good with allergies, she also had an amazing personality. Overall a 10/10 experience.

Chocotastic experience with loads of tasting opportunities - My wife and I attended the experience and we completely loved it from start to finish The venue is small but perfectly formed with a little reception area, stacked with different types of chocolate from around the world including their own brand made in house. We had a little issue with the tickets as we unfortunately thought we had booked two tickets, but in reality we had only booked one! (And now all tours were shown fully booked) We went to see a member of the team and they kindly added an additional ticket on which they didn’t have to do…. I won’t spoil the tour for you but it’s fair to say you receive a well plotted history of where chocolate originated, its production and also how they make it on site. Please expect to have plenty of chocolate during the 90 minute tour and you will also get some to take away which is included in the price. All the staff were super friendly, knowledgeable and just generally lovely. We can understand why it is so well rated. A must if you are visiting Edinburgh but I recommend you book well in advance to avoid disappointment.

An enjoyble and tasty tour - A very informative and entertaining visit. The Irish fellow who was our tour host was really funny and charming. (Unfortunately I forgot his name.) I really appreciated the way my dairy intolerance was accommodated for on the tasting and chocolate making parts of the tour. I went on the tour solo, but the small participant number and the way we were grouped up for the tasting meant that I didn't feel awkward being there on my own. I would incourage all chocolate lovers to try this tour if they find themselves in Edinburgh one day.
