What you'll do

Enjoy a private mini-chocolate tasting in the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea, followed by biscuits, doughnuts & more delicious treats!

Start with an indulgent sipping chocolate and chocolate treats while your guide shares the story of chocolate with you. Rise from your chair to be led to more deliciousness in the beautiful borough of Kensington & Chelsea. The streets are perfectly paved, the homes perfectly painted, the legends perfectly precocious.

While we wander between boutiques, bakeries, chocolate shops, gelaterias and patisseries, we’ll share with you stories from the past and present. At each stop you’ll sample more deliciousness. By the time we say good bye we promise you’ll be experiencing a sweet high.

Please note: Dietary intolerances are difficult to accommodate on this tour.

The tour is about two miles long, though we will be sat down for the first 45 minutes.

Jen spends the majority of her time guiding tours and tastings, judging chocolate and other food awards, speaking at events, tasting and consulting for various chocolate companies and travelling to attend conferences or to visit plantations, boutiques and factories in the UK and beyond.

Location

This tour takes you around the beautiful borough of Kensington and Chelsea in London. Wander round tasting the best sweet treats that London has to offer – we can’t think of a better way to spend a day!

FAQs

We provide everything you should need for a comfortable and fun few hours and enough treats to have you full by the end of the tour without purchasing more (though we can't guarantee you won't want more the next day!).

A travel card is advised to get to the meeting point and away because the routes start and finish in different places, but we do not take public transport during the standard tours.

You may want to take advantage of the discounts arranged just for members of the tour so you can keep enjoying your favourites in the days to come, or give gifts to friends.

Gratuities to your guide are optional and, of course, always appreciated.

The tours will run whatever the weather (national disasters pending!). England is gorgeous at every time of year! If it's hot we can usually substitute the hot chocolate for an iced chocolate drink or chocolate ice cream. Even the ice cream tour is fun in the snow - the shops are cosy inside and often quieter than in the summer! We do suggest you bring appropriate clothes for the weather, and an umbrella if you think it will rain.

Top quality chocolate stores in the area the tour is in, ranging from traditional English, to more modern and some European ones. There are some examples of itineraries on blogs and newspapers you might encounter but the shops we visit are subject to change. We also like it to be a surprise where possible! Please be assured we are constantly reviewing the tours in order to offer the best experience possible. We like to have variety, excellent products and excellent service on each tour, including some places even locals might not yet have been! Sometimes we will visit a shop that isn’t specifically a chocolate shop but does offer an outstanding product we think you should sample.

Comfortable shoes. Clothing that is sensible for walking outside in the city. Please don't bring large bags with you - it'll just be annoying for you!
