★★★★★★★★★★4.7 · 87 reviews · 2.5 hours · from $81

Meet your guide at Caffè Elena for Bicerin, then walk Turin’s grand squares and porticoes before tasting six organic chocolates, including Gianduiotto and Cremino. Finish with two Piedmont wines, cheese, and cured meats. Fabio and Sara lead the experience in English or Italian.

“Our guide Fabio was very knowledgeable about products found only in Turin and the region. To assist this tour to improve, I believe it’s important for those who attend purchase items from the places you visit. They are small business that are generous with both their time and products. The lest we can do as visitors is spend money in those establishments as to participate in the tour is not expensive.”

Guided tasting of the “Best Chocolate of Modica”

9.Guided tasting of the “Best Chocolate of Modica”

★★★★★★★★★★3.9 · 21 reviews · 1 hour · from $31Best value

At Sabadì in Modica, you’ll tour the workshop and the world’s first chocolate aging cellar, learn how raw Modica chocolate differs from standard chocolate, and taste organic, vegan, gluten-free bars refined with tea, tobacco, flowers, herbs, and spices. Guides speak Italian, English, Spanish, and French.

“If you don’t pay and just show up you can still try the chocolate flavors. The only additional benefit you’ll get with this tour is 2 miniature drinks of vermouth and a mediocre explanation of what makes the chocolate different. You won’t see the process of making the chocolate, or be explained anything regarding the history of the módica chocolate (despite asking). Just go to the store, try the chocolate (for free) buy whichever you like the most and voila, save yourself a few bucks. For the price of this tour you can buy 5ish chocolate bars so do that and save yourself the money”

“Purtroppo una visita non adatta ai bambini. I gruppi sono formati senza logica, nel mio caso i miei bambini (4-6-7 anni) hanno fatto il tour insieme a ragazzi dì 17 anni. Oltre alle spiegazioni tecniche sull’utilizzo delle macchine, poco Interessanti per i più piccoli, anche il linguaggio per spiegare a dei 17enni non è né adatto ne coinvolgente per i bambini, che inevitabilmente si annoiano! Peccato..”
