7 Chocolate Tastings in France Worth Booking

1.Paris French Sweets Tasting Tour with Pastries and Chocolates

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 947 reviews · 3 hours (approx.) · from $168Our pick

Join a guide such as Josie, Gilles, or Luis for a small-group tasting walk through Saint-Germain-des-Prés or the Marais. Expect chocolates, pastries, breads, cakes, and local stories over about three hours. Choose a morning or afternoon departure, and tell the operator about allergies before you go.

“Our guide was fabulous — enthusiastic about the chocolates, breads, and other goodies we tasted, but equally enthusiastic and descriptive of the rich history of Paris and the Marais District. When I (80) got droopy about half way through, she graciously suggested a break for water, coffee or cola. When one of the destinations was closed unexpectedly, she easily and cheerfully regrouped. When it started sprinkling she entertained us with more tales while we waited and then shepherded us on our way. I wish I could remember her name - she accounts for all of the stars, along, of course, with the great goodies.”

“Small party and our guide was knowledgeable. A bit disappointing on number of stops and tastings. Our expectations were that we would sample several different chocolates or pastries per stop. That was not always the case and it some cases, it was one choice and done. Was a good experience but not sure I would do it again”

4.Discover Brussels and Bruges & Optional Chocolate Tasting

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 219 reviews · 16 hours (approx.) · from $264

Travel from Paris to Brussels and Bruges by air-conditioned coach, with guided walks through Grand Place, Manneken Pis, Tintin’s mural, Mont des Arts, Lake of Love, Mary’s Bridge, and Bruges Town Hall. Guides such as Abraham, Rodolfo, Anna, and Antonio have earned strong praise, though bilingual commentary and limited free time can affect the day.

“The opportunity to visit Belgium was amazing, the tour was great, Abraham was a great tour guide and shared with us all the opportunities the towns had to offer. It would have been nice to hear some more general history about France or Belgium while we were on the bus, it would help to pass the time. I absolutely recommend doing this trip”
