We met at 730PM in the Shambles. It was $6/adult for the tour and we simply paid the man in the coat. Bring cash, cos there is no ticketing process. We followed him and made stops at various haunted sites and he basically explained the history and wove in some comedy. He held the stage well and had all of us participate in fun activities. For $6, this was well worth the cost and time. I definitely enjoyed this experience, it was fun, and very entertaining.

Got a bunch of chocolate bars (milk, dark and raspberry) and a selection of their pralines. Even though very busy, the staff was very friendly and helpful. Prices are very fair. The chocolate bars were quite good. But maybe not exactly our style. Or maybe I'm biased because I'm Swiss :D But the pralines were divine! Pieces of art. Tasted as amazing as they looked. Really up there with the very best ones we've had yet. All kinds of ingredients and fillings. Just amazingly tasty. Surely we'll be back for more whenever we're back in York.

One family had a little girl who was probably 4 years old and she thoroughly enjoyed the entire tour. Our guide was fantastic from the beginning to the end.

The tour is interesting while giving you historical information about chocolate coming to England, the first chocolate families, as well as giving you a few tastes along the way. At the end you get to make your own white chocolate lollipop to take home. You also get to watch the chocolate kitchen make some chocolates and tested those as well. We thought it was worth the money and glad we did it!
