Saturday morning CBD – starts at 9.45am
Start your weekend in sensational style with the classic combination of chocolate and coffee (but coffee is not compulsory!).
“A young lady’s breakfast should be a soft boiled egg or two, a little cold meat,
a draught of milk, or a cup of two of pure chocolate.”
(Rules for a Young Lady, Ladies’ Magazine and Literary Gazette 1830)
This tour commences in the historic heart of Sydney with your first hot chocolate or coffee served in the stylish surroundings of one of the city's best loved landmarks. You'll learn how and when chocolate first came to Australia and how we know Captain Cook was a coffee drinker!
Definitely worth the money, plenty of samples to taste, and a great experience all round. I would recommend this tour to any chocolate lover or coffee lover for that matter.

Then it's chocolate all the way as you taste fine Australian chocolate made entirely in Australia from the raw cocoa bean by a family who have been perfecting the art since 1915! While enjoying some exquisite creations, you'll learn about the development of chocolate from a spicy beverage to today's sweet delicacy. You'll also discover how many Easter eggs Australians eat a year!
Thanks for the fantastic tour on Saturday. Lyndall and I enjoyed it greatly, and it was a wonderful way to spend a Saturday morning. Further, I have confirmed my long held belief that there is nothing wrong with chocolate for breakfast!

Swiss chocolate awaits at your next stop where you will learn, and taste, what makes European chocolate so special. Then you'll enjoy chocolates handmade in Sydney by some clever and creative chocolatiers.

Your final sampling is of spectacular Australian and Belgian chocolates before the tour concludes in the luxurious comfort of one of Sydney's best hotels. Here you will relax with hot chocolate or coffee and reflect on your luscious journey through the wonderful world of chocolate and coffee!
What a wonderful time we had on the chocolate walking tour last Saturday. Jennifer, our guide, was exceptional in giving us information, not only on chocolate and coffee, but also the history of Sydney as we ambled through the streets. Thank heavens it was a walking tour because with all the chocolate we managed to shovel in we should have walked back to Cairns just to work it off. Thank you so much for organising us all, we really enjoyed it and have already started recommending it to friends.

What a wonderful time my friend and I had on Saturday's chocolate tour. Jennifer was a gracious guide and I really enjoyed the early Australian history part of the tour. Chocolate, coffee, a nice walk, friendly conversation, and spending money put us in such a happy and buoyant mood. It really was a lovely birthday present from my children.

I just wanted to thank you so much for the wonderful tour that my daughter Sarah and I went on recently. Apart from the delicious chocolates, superb coffee and wonderful company we were very impressed by your interesting and informative tour of Sydney. It was also a wonderful opportunity to have such an intimate tour and insight into the unknown chocolate and coffee shops in Sydney. I will certainly be telling all my friends about this wonderful tour and will make it a regular 'revitalising' event.
