Tasty chocolate and enjoyable company
Jarom_H, October 2026
My wife and I ended up being the only ones in the tour, and Isabelle was a lovely guide. Her English was excellent and she was lighthearted throughout the tour. I enjoyed all of the places we visited for various chocolate treats. I would definitely recommend it to anyone else who is ok with walking 1-2 kilometers over the course of several hours.
