3.1.5h Belgian Chocolate Workshop in Brussels (bean to bar)

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 462 reviews · 1 hour 30 minutes (approx.) · from $76

“We had Elisabetta. She was so very detailed! One thing I will say that holds true like other reviews is that there is no ruby chocolate samples or on how it’s made and there is walking to the lab part (it has stairs, so might need to contact about accessibility). We had so much fun! It’s very good quality and very informative. Definitely a good activity”
