About this activity

The chocolate industry is a steadily growing, $50 billion-a-year worldwide business! Chocolate is made from cocoa beans, the dried and partially fermented seeds of the cacao tree. Roughly two-thirds of the entire world's cocoa is produced in West Africa, with 43% sourced from Ivory Coast. The earliest evidence of use traces to the Mokaya (Mexico and Guatemala), with evidence of chocolate beverages dating back to 1900 BC. From ancient aztec recipes to post modern takes on the dark stuff, from a World's Fair winning praline to gold infused valrhona cupcakes, The Chocolate Tour of Chicago will take you to chocolate paradise and beyond...chocoholics everywhere will love this tour!

Our family always takes in a Chocolate Tour on our vacations and this was a nice walking around the River North and Gold Coast neighborhoods. Katherine offered a good mix of city facts with chocolate details along the way...would recommend.

This tour was pitched as a 2-1/2 hour walking tour, with the guide pointing sites along the way to visit different chocolate places around Michigan Avenue. She pointed out two things and we visited 4 places, two of which really had nothing to do specifically with chocolates cake balls and macaroons. The two chocolate places we stopped at were great. After an hour, we were told that was it. This tour was a fraction of what it should've been for 50 per person. I have already addressed our concerns with customer service and we were issued a small refund. While we are somewhat happy with that, it's still not satisfactory and we would not recommend this tour at the price of 50 per person.
