Traveler reviews
Tuza Hasairi
★★★★★Edited 3 months agoGood place. Nice tour. A lot of tastings. And u will be able to make your own chocolate bar. By make i mean decorate honestly. But super fun snd generous. Nice gift shop and good service. Only by tour guide. German and English available and super fun for kids. I would recommend and do it again. Entrance fee is 27€ if u bought tickets a couple of days before and 29 on tje same day. So plan ahead to avoid unavailable spots or waiting for the next tour.

★★★★★2 months agoMy teens and I thoroughly enjoyed this tour and chocolate tasting & decorating experience! Our English speaking tour guide was fantastic and easily understandable. I highly recommend bringing water in with you since you will be tasting many things including the raw cocoa fruit, raw cocoa, bean, roasted nibs, melangea chocolate, and finished dark and milk chocolates. Milk chocolates. I enjoyed the gift shop as I love the smell of cocoa and plenty of chocolate varieties, coffees, teas, etc. to buy. There were no tickets available to buy online directly through the chocoversum, but I found them through a guide link. Tickets are for specific times so plan accordingly.
