We went on the Chocolate Food Tour in Harvard Square and loved it! A perfect balance of chocolate consumption (in a variety of different forms), chocolate history, some local Boston/Harvard history, and the route was a lovely walk and way to see Harvard. Would definitely recommend!

...the chocolate tour was the perfect way to kick off my Bachelorette weekend! There's a creative variety of ways to sample delicious chocolate from around Harvard Sq...We got to hear a lot of great trivia both about chocolate making and Harvard Sq history. Our amazing tour guide was super nice, super fun, answered all of our questions, and was genuinely happy to be there with all of us. She really helped make the tour perfect. One of my friends emailed with the company before the tour, letting them know it was my bachelorette party, and some of the locations threw in amazing personalized surprises for me.

We did the Chocolate Tour with Chloe last week. Chloe was a fantastic guide. Interesting tidbits about both chocolate and the history of Harvard Square, combined with delicious chocolate treats. For my teens, the chocolate tour was one of the highlights of their week in Boston. HIGHLY recommend!

My wife and I truly enjoyed the Harvard Square Chocolate Tour. Our guide was funny, extremely nice and very knowledgeable. We thought we knew the Harvard Square, but the tour allowed us to discover many new restaurants and new dishes at restaurants we already knew. The tour was fun, interesting and, best of all, allowed us to enjoy many great brands of chocolate. We would highly recommend this tour to any chocolate enthusiast. Thank you

Went on the Harvard Square chocolate food tour with Chloe, and it was so much fun!! Not only did we get to enjoy the perfect amount of delicious chocolatey desserts, but I also learned about the history of chocolate and specifics about how it is produced, and despite growing up in Cambridge I even learned some new details about Harvard Square's history!! I highly recommend!!

The tour began with a warm welcome from our knowledgeable guide Roberta, who immediately set the tone for what was to come. Her passion for chocolate was palpable and contagious, making each stop along the tour that much more enjoyable (Of course, the highlight of the tour was the tasting sessions). I loved walking into each store only to be greeted with a chocolatey delicacy - each left us craving for more! For newcomers or veteran Bostonians, this tour is a must-do experience that will leave you with a newfound appreciation for the world of chocolate.
