Paul, the tour guide, was excellent and the overall tour was really good. The different chocolates were an adventure, the tour of Old Town was informative. I would highly recommend it.
Yummy treats!

Very nicely balanced mix of both chocolate tasting and history tour sprinkled with a bit of sightseeing. Would definitely go again and Olivia was a great guide.
