Seattle Chocolate Tour

Overview

Is chocolate a food or a technology? Why does it hold such a special place in cultures around the world? Most importantly: How do YOU like your chocolate?

On this tour you'll need all your senses to help answer these questions, and there's no better place to explore the world of chocolate than the city famous for beans that give you a buzz.

This 2.5 hour walking tour will fill you to the brim with chocolatey goodness. Dark. Milk. Drinking. Solid. Spicy. Bitter. Sweet. With nuts. With fruits. And the purest of the pure. You will leave with a deeper understanding of the attention that goes into each decadent bite you take.

Included in your ticket price is 12 individual tastes of chocolate (keep breakfast light). We will visit 8 of Downtown Seattle's most beloved food stops so that there is a little something for everyone!

We work hard to make this tour accessible to everyone, so let us know ahead of time about any food allergies, dietary restrictions, or mobility concerns.

Will was a great guide. He was knowledgeable about the chocolate and the local businesses that we supported. I enjoyed hearing about the history of each establishment and their proprietors. Most impressive was the guide’s attentiveness to my gluten free preference and preparedness to provide gluten free alternatives. Thank you! There were nine stops, five of which were a part of Pike’s market (inside and outside). It was an eclectic tasting that included ice cream, cookies, donuts, hot chocolate, chocolate morsels, international chocolate drinks, truffle salt and oils, chocolate covered fruit, and finally chocolate truffles. Most of the shops offered tour participants 10-15% discounts. That was a definite win. The guide was wonderful. He was personable, knowledgeable, and patient. He took pictures of families at the end, offered recommendations for lunch options, and where to find quality local art. Tips: bring a bottle of water to rinse between tastings and to help manage some of the rich or spicy tastings. Bring cash if you would like to tip or have Venmo to tip the tour guide. The tour is 2.5 hours because the guide paces it and asks questions to engage the tour participants. Wonderful tour. $76 may feel pricey but you appreciate the diversity of the tastings, knowledge gained and exposure to local denizens with chocolate offerings. The final note is beyond the tour guide’s control. But, i mention it so that others are more considerate when taking the tour. There was a family on the tour that had three kids. I could have tolerated each of them being attention seeking and constantly interrupting and trying to correct and/or question the tour guide. Their total lack of manners was upsetting. They did not say please, thank you, or excuse me. They reached in front of others and grabbed samples from the guide. I was embarrassed for the parents who did nothing to curb this incredibly rude behavior. The guide did the best job possible of not letting the disruptive tour participants totally derail the experience. It is wonderful when kids ask questions because they are inquisitive. It is another thing when the goal is only to display how smart they think they are and to try to “catch” the adult as being wrong or less intelligent.

Chocolate ice cream at Cupcake Royale. The tour seemed focused on promoting the businesses, and I would have liked a little more information about chocolate, such as how it is made and why one type is different from another.

Jade was our tour guide with an assist from Will. They were very knowledgeable and had great personalities. We enjoyed the different kinds, flavors and textures of chocolate. It was a great experience!
