A Must While in Montréal
D_L, Apr 2022
Had such a surprisingly good time on this tour…Who knew there was so much to making chocolate…Melissa was a gem and an absolute scholar on chocolate and so much more…Highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Montréal…The experience was well worth it…
Response from Host, May 2022
Thank you so much for the review and being game because I know you aren’t a fan of high percentage chocolate. I’m so glad you enjoyed it! You were both a treat to have on the tour, you and the true chocolate lover you came out on it for! All the best!
Chocolate tour
Susan_C, Mar 2020
Melissa was an outstanding guide. She was extremely knowledgeable not only about chocolate but also the area. Daniel gave us an excellent overview of the bean to bar process. Highly recommend this tour.
Response from Host, Mar 2020

Amazing Tour & Very Informative
Nikki_P, Oct 2019
This is a great tour if you have time while in Montreal. We learned a lot about chocolate and the tour guide was very nice. She went out of her way to make sure we could fit the chocolate tour into our schedule by making a custom tour for us

My family and I had a great time on this tour. We would highly recommend this for anyone who loves chocolate and is looking to discover a great little area in Montreal. Melissa, our tour guide, was fantastic.

teresau, Dec 2017
This was an outstanding tour I would recommend to anyone. I booked this based on the other reviews and I was not disappointed. The tour was well-paced with the right amount of stops, all of which were different and spanned the gamut of anything chocolate which provided for an informative, well-rounded experience. The two hosts Melissa and Mario were outstanding - fun, VERY knowledgeable about chocolate, food, as well as the neighborhood, which they were more than happy to share as we were walking. If I am in Montreal again, I will definitely take another tour with these folks!

Julia L, Nov 2016
This tour was so much more than I expected. even before the tour started Melissa was responsive to questions over email and then was an interesting and engaging guide. The chocolate tour really focuses on the artisans making chocolate as their craft as much as it does just tasting their creations.

Interesting tour. Lots of information about sources of chocolate, differences in flavour, refining processes, etc. involved in producing chocolate in the refined state that we are accustomed to eating.

Christine W, Apr 2016
This is a great tour if you love chocolate. Be prepared to do a lot of walking but everyone we met was amazing and shared so much about their passion for chocolate.

Linda_S, May 2022
Tour en petit groupe seulement. La guide était gentille et connaissait bien son sujet. Découverte de nouveaux endroits a Montréal
Response from Host, May 2022
Merci pour votre commentaire. Nos groupes varient entre 6 et 12 personnes normalement. Oui, ce sont de petits groupes intimes. Nous avons refusé 6 anglophones ce jour-là pour vous accommoder et nous l’avons fait avec une personne de moins que le minimum. Vous étiez chanceuses d’avoir eu un tour privé sous ces conditions la.
