Highly recommended tour! Our guide JAMIE was fun and knowledgeable. Treat bags. Make your own chocolate lollypop and decorate it. Good history of the Rowntree Family Chocolate Story done in a fun CG way with a talking person rather than reading cards on display. The history of chocolate making from the Mayans through to the current day is brilliantly done. Taste Mayan cacao drink. Taste victorian chocolate. Taste humbugs. Enjoy a Kitkat. Highly recommended complete value for money and more tour to add to your York visit agenda. Disability accessible and friendly with a lift to the floors. Tracy.

The tour was really interesting and you do get plenty of samples along the way. Not just chocolate too, there are a couple of different samples showing you how cacao beans were enjoyed in the past. I've been to York many times and never realised this place existed! Worth a visit, but its also worth noting that a lot of the information is more suited to older children that will understand what's being said (8 years +)

Fantastic place! My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed the experience, picking up chocolate samples as we went round. Finished off with two hot chocolates afterwards! Would highly recommend the hot chocolate with rum in it! A very nice end to o very nice visit.
