First official tour in Melbourne while visiting from New Zealand. As things normalise post Covid the tour was just my wife and I, which was awesome :-) The tour was very informative and obviously there was some great chocolate to enjoy along with a few other little treats.

This was a great tour! Sandra, our guide, was knowledgeable and enthusiastic, despite having hosted this tour many times before and shared tidbits about Melbourne that I didn’t know, despite being Melbourne born and bred. The businesses we visited were all welcoming and their products were delicious. Definitely recommend this to any chocolate lover.

A unique chocolate tasting tour taking in a spice emporium, an Asian dumpling restaurant, a cheese and chocolate pairing, a gift shop and a traditional chocolate shop. All chocolate tasted is of high quality and the guide, Tonya, showed us some historical parts of Melbourne too. Very enjoyable.
