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!!

Had a lovely experience at York Chocolate story shop. The tour was interesting and staff were very professional. Learned about the history of chocolate and production in York as well as produce. Good value for money and make my own chocolate Lolly to take home 😋.

I must admit, I was very impressed. Initially, when I saw that a full ticket cost £15, I thought that this will be a ripoff, imagining that it is actually nothing to see inside. But…..🥰😍after a 20 minute wait the story of chocolate began. I will not spoil the experience for those who have never been, but we just came out and already planning to visit it again tomorrow as our two and half year old fallen asleep at the end when it was the most interesting part for kids. I really recommend this place, very nice experience, plenty of chocolate for you to try and a little gift for each visitor.

Love the chocolate and Scarlet’s sweet voice! We all enjoyed her story telling about the history of chocolate in York, from how it started to what we have now. She’s so professional and answered all the questions we had. And more importantly, we all know the trick to show others what to do before we swallow chocolate now! 😆
