Very late notice of cancellation
We received a cancellation only 1 hour before we were to go to start the tour. No one called me on the phone and I was busy trying to travel there. All I saw was an email.

Not worth it. The whole...
Not worth it. The whole thing is super short, they give you like 5 pieces of chocolate (literally) and that is the end of the whole thing. You may purchase full bars afterwards

Poor Planning
Didn’t even get to attend because they mixed up the dates and shop was closed. Was looking forward to this, so really bummed that they didn’t plan it well.

Great Tasting
It is not wheel chair or collator accessible. While their was a small bench most must stand for the duration of presentation and tasting. Very knowledgeable presenter.
