The chocolates we tasted were wonderful and roaming the streets of Saint Germaine was a perfect compliment to the tasting. One disappointment- I expected more pastry, as in a croissant or something, it actually would have helped cut through the intense sweetness of all the chocolate offerings. But overall, we are so happy we chose this tour and met Kevan.”
