An experience that we won't forget
We had an amazing experience with Alejandro! Learned how chocolate is actually make by experts and had the chance to do it ourselves. All our questions were answered and the atmosphere was so much fun. When we think of Basel we always remember this workshop!

Chocolate experience in Basel
We were early and We were not sure we were in the right place at first. This experience could use more signage instructing where to go. Alejandro showed up and then we knew we were in the right place.
