AI summary of 84 reviews
Travellers consistently praise the guides for their knowledge of Melbourne's history, architecture and laneways, combined with engaging and personable approaches that make the experience memorable for both visitors and locals. The most striking aspect of reviews is the emphasis on discovering hidden or unexpected chocolate venues and shops, with particular appreciation for the variety of tastings including chocolate pairings, desserts and coffee, alongside the quality of the products sampled. The main caveat is relatively minor, with only a handful of reviews noting four-star ratings, typically reflecting that expectations were already high or that personal preferences around pace or group size affected the experience.
How we collect and publish reviews
Where they come from. Our reviews are gathered from independent review sites and from guests who share feedback with us directly after their trip. They come from people who have actually travelled on the tour. Some longer trips are made up of shorter tours we also sell, run back to back — where a review was written about one of those legs, the review says so.
Why some are edited. Many of our guests travel in their second or third language. Where a review is hard to read, we lightly edit spelling, grammar and punctuation, or paraphrase a sentence for clarity. We never change the rating, the meaning or the sentiment, and we never write a review on a guest's behalf.
Reading the originals. Reviews sourced from public review sites appear there in their original form, and can be read in full at their original source at any time.
We booked this for a girls' trip to Melbourne and Brianna was so much fun. It was far more than chocolate shops, as she showed us hidden spots to eat we'd never have found.
A fun tour with lots of stops, great samples and chances to buy. Brianna was an engaging guide with plenty of good information.
Our team loved the chocolate and everything we learnt about the Melbourne CBD, and finished full and happy.
I really enjoyed trying the chocolate and seeing some interesting places around Melbourne, and Brianna added some history too.
Brianna was the best host, knowledgeable, easy to chat with and interested in all of us. We saw great shops, laneways and eateries and learnt about Melbourne and chocolate at the same time.
