Chicago Chocolate Tours

For my mom's mother's day gift, we took the Lakeview Chocolate tour with Nicole and it was wonderful! Everything we sampled was delicious and fresh, the tour was fun and memorable and we met many great people while on the tour. Looking forward to future tours with Chicago Chocolate tours!

I just enjoyed my SEVENTH Chicago Chocolate Tour! This one was on the Mag Mile route, but I've also done the Lakeview route a few times. People sometimes ask me why I keep coming back to the tour instead of just visiting the shops on my own (I do visit them on my own between tours too!). It's because Chicago Chocolate Tours provides so much more than just a visit to various chocolate shops. There's the behind-the-scenes glimpses into how the various shops work. There's fun facts about chocolate (I still manage to learn something new!). And there's samples of candies, cupcakes, ice cream flavors, etc, that I might not think to try on my own. And the tour is really fun way to hang out with the people I care about.

Also, a word about our guide, Shawn (sp?). She told us that this was her first solo tour, and in spite of several challenges that befell our tour, she did a great job! She was gracious and vivacious. She's a keeper. She did disappear before I could give her a tip though, so please apologize for that on my behalf!

Loved the chocolate tour with Claire on Sunday morning! Very informative and great stops along the way. It was a great variety of chocolate: cupcakes, breads, teas and candy! Chocolate heaven! We will definitely do another tour! Thanks!

Had a great time! Learned about some places I'll definitely visit again.

I would recommend this tour to anyone looking for a fun way to spend a few hours of their time while in Chicago. In addition to all the free samples, we were treated to a little history, a little architecture and lots of good exercise that justified sampling of all the goodies.

My daughter and I absolutely loved the chocolate tour! Briane was our tour guide and she was witty and knowledgeable, and made the experience fun for everyone! Loved all the locations we went to, especially unexpected places to appreciate chocoloate like Hendrix Bakery. Learning how local places started their business and how passionate they are about their chocolate was inspiring! I'm definetly booking another tour soon!

My daughters, sister and myself took the tour yesterday. Absolutely loved it! My favorite was Hendrix Belgian Bakery and Argo Tea. Would do this again! Guide was awesome!

Best way to spend a rainy Monday afternoon.

Engaging, informative, fun and delicious!

Had a great time with our tour guide Carrie

What a great WorldChicago Young Internationals Night! Chicago Chocolate Tours did a phenomenal job of showing us some fab woman-owned & international chocolate shops! YUM & FUN!

My cousin and I went on Thursday 3/14 cupcake tour in the Gold Coast with Brianne and had the most awesome time! I was so extremely satisfied with the overall tour, I'd highly recommend it! I actually want to try out the Tuesday cupcake tour in the Loop as well. Brianne was excellent-she knew her stuff and was so charismatic and super fun to have as our tour guide! I can only hope she'll be the tour guide whenever I book the Tuesday tour. The stops along the tour was delicious and everyone was super friendly. The chocolate and cupcake samples weren't so bad either, haha. Thanks again for a wonderful experience!

Excellent tour! We didn't even mind the rain, and as the tour guide said, the chocolate gave us "internal sunshine!" We want to take another of these tours on one of the other routes. Thank you for a well-organized program!

What an absolute waste of time AND money!!

My son & his friend recently treated me to a Chicago Chocolate Tour! It was a very enjoyable experience. I would highly recommend the tour to anyone. Our tour guide, Katie, was a very pleasant, upbeat tour guide. She told us lots of facts about chocolate & made the tour very interesting. The businesses we toured were places I'd go again. Thanks for a good afternoon!

What a great girls weekend we had! The chocolate tour was really great, VERY delicious and very educational. I never knew there was so much to learn about chocolate...from it's beginnings to now. Our tour guide was wonderful. We had lots of fun. We stayed overnight in Chicago to complete a perfect girls weekend! Thank you!

Attended Chocolate tour yesterday with my daughter and we had Kelly as a guide. It was fantastic! I am sure we will do another in the future.

Highly recommend the Hot Chocolate tour. Especially to those who miss the Chicago Chocolate Company's hot chocolate menu. Thanks Brianne and Valerie!

Valerie,
I just wanted to write you and tell you what a pleasure It was to see you again on my third chocolate tour! (You have an absolutely infectious smile!) I took my fiance, Steve, for his birthday and to celebrate our engagement. He and I both had a great time. Christiana was very personable, sweet, and knowledgeable, answering every question our group had. Each stop was better than the next! It was a real treat to go into the kitchen at Hendrickx and see the bakers hard at work. Thank you for everything, I have never been disappointed on any of the routes I've been on. Steve has already mentioned what a wonderful idea it would be to take his parents (who are from out of town) on a tour, so we'll see you again soon!

Have a wonderful day!

Charlie & I took the Lakeview tour in Dec. Our tour guide, Cristiana was superb! She was very vibrant which added to our overall enjoyment of the event.
Each of the businesses we visited gave us a warm welcome. All of their chocolates and beverages were delicious!
We look forward to visiting each business again and have already recommended Chocolate Tours to our friends.
