“Loved the chocolate, excellent tour guide”
by Peterdk_london (a TripAdvisor Member) on 30 Apr 2013
We did the chocolate tour on a busy Saturday afternoon and it was really great. The tour guide (Becky) was informative and charming and took us to places we would never have known about otherwise! I would highly recommend taking the tour!

“Becky was a brilliant guide”
by Malloch1 (a TripAdvisor Member) on 30 Apr 2013
I went on a chocolate tour yesterday guided by Becky. The four was interesting and took me to shops that I may never have found on my own. Becky was very knowledgable, interesting and has an outstanding personality and strong likability. I recommend if you book a tour with this company you try and get one that Becky is doing as she made the whole event feel much more complete.

“Awesome day out”
by JamesMC46 (a TripAdvisor Member) on 20 Nov 2012
A couple of friends took me along for this as a surprise - wasn't sure what to expect, but I had the most amazing time. The tour guide (I think his name his name was Ferry?) was lovely - extremely friendly and personable, made us all feel right at home. Would definitely recommend this if you're in London - great way to spend a day.

“Chocolate Tour”
by Louise G (a TripAdvisor Member) on 5 Aug 2012
Me and my boyfriend did a Sunday tour, and it was a very pleasant surprise. Lots of free samples, and the shops were all quiet giving it a private feel. It started raining, so Ferry (our guide) had to take us into shelter for a bit at Sothebys poor fella. Highly recommended, take an umbrella though.

“A yummy chocolate tour around central London.”
by Christos1313 (a TripAdvisor Member) on 5 Apr 2012
We took the chocolate tour offered by Great British Tours where we had the chance to taste delicious chocolates -I d recommend chocolate with coffee beans @ Hotel chocolate if you re a coffee lover- at various places around Soho for free. Of course the quantities were small but enough to give you an idea of the quality and taste. You could pay and buy more if you wanted. If you like a treat for yourself then you should consider taking the tour. It's not something amazing that you ll remember for the rest of your life but certainly worth a try if you want to have a relaxing walk around London with friends. As for our guide George was very knowledgeable about 'chocolate science' and very polite & friendly.

We did this tour with George who was very informative and nice. It was a lovely day weather wise as well. Although I am a Londoner I saw places that I had never seen before! The tour had just the right amount of people on it as well.

“Chocolate tour = amazingly tasty time.”
by Angela V (a TripAdvisor Member) on 5 Apr 2012
I did the chocolate tour this past Saturday and absolutely loved it, despite the rain. Our tour guide, Becky, was really wonderful and was very knowledgeable about the different shops we went to and knew her way around. Even with all the chocolate shops subtracted, it was a beautiful walk around the city to places I rarely get to see. Fabulous tour and guide. Loved it.
