Review of Edinburgh’s Chocolatarium: tastings, chocolate-making, guides, family tips, price, timing, and booking advice.
“Having gone on a couple other chocolate tours, this was our best experience yet. We made our own chocolates to take home and that was our favorite part. Lots of options to choose from when designing your own bar. The knowledge shared with us was also very interesting! Some of the things we already knew but a lot of it was interesting facts we didn’t know yet. The tasting we also did was another highlight. We tried some chocolates I never seen as well as tried some flavors that required more of my taste buds than I expected. GREAT EXPERIENCE! Our tour guide was great and knowledgeable.”
