Delicious chocolate but way overpriced. Tour is good but in German so was long and boring for us english speakers we were not advised we could have done an English tour until we finished so that was disappointing. Great tastings i especially like making my own chocolate bar.
Nice museum, with interesting tour guide! Chocolate tasting experience is good, and allows you to understand the process of chocolate making! Don't eat before you go, as you will fill up fast, and don't forget à bottle of water, as chocolate makes you thirsty.
one of the best experiences in my life!!! I advise you to book the chocolate museum tour in advance to find the right tour in English or German... it is 15 euros per adult and the tour takes 90 minutes...first you enter with your group you start tasting chocolate on a thin biscuit...then you the guide will start taking you from the first beginning of the cocoa trees and fruits...and then you will go through the whole chocolate process phases; the area where it is planted, grains fermentation and roasting, different machines used to produce the chocolate and finally the packing machine...there are many chocolate tastings dark and sweet chocolate...it is a day to remember...it is highly recommended!!!
A great experience. Your learn about how chocolate is made. Don't eat before you go - there is lots to be eaten while you are there. You also make your own bar of chocolate to take home. Well worth the time let price. I'll be recommending it to anyone going to Hamburg. We went to the English tour, which was brilliant.
An amazing experience for all who go there. Learn about the creation of chocolate, and even make some of your own to take home with you. The gift shop at the end has many different items, from a chocolate smartphone to chocolate wine. If your are feeling really risky, try a piece of Coco bean or Coco butter... IF YOU DARE! Great place in general, also a photo box for anyone interested in finding one of those. Thank you for reading!
This is a fantastic place to visit for chocolate lovers and those looking to learn about the food and process. It's a guided tour ONLY, this is not a "museum" in the traditional sense, it's a guided, interactive learning experience. You get to taste the raw fruit through to the various stages of the chocolate making process. Must see.
Awesome tour. To call it a museum depends on what you expect there. There is a shop inside where you can buy many types of chocolates, chocolate powders, etc.. And there is paid course where you can learn how chocolates are made, and you get to make your own chocolate, for which instructions are given, as they give you knowledge about how chocolates are made in the industry. The machineries are good to have a look at. There is a English session organised time to time everyday.
Group tours can be boring, unless you're into that sort of thing. However, this was a pretty enjoyable experience as you get to go wild and decorate your own chocolate. There's an option to book a tour in English, or you can just turn up and go along with whichever tour is available at that moment. I ended up going on the German one due to time constraints, but was given a guide in English, so I wouldn't be completely lost and nodding like a sheep for 90 mins.
-Kids love it, if you have any.
-Take a bottle of water with you so you don't feel sick after all that chocolate.
-You can take your dressed up chocolate home with you.
- They also have a shop.
Chocoversum was absolutely amazing! The gentleman that took us around was very fluent in English & spoke the language with ease - he was very enthusiastic & friendly. We tasted the chocolate at each stage of the process & even got to make our own bar of chocolate where we could put our own toppings on it. For €15, I would say that it is well worth the money, it was absolutely fantastic!
The tour (and you WILL be on a tour-- which makes sense given the many places where you sample chocolate, but group tours can be gearing) is alright, but spacing seems rather poor and our tour guide made a number of uncomfortably casual racist and sexist remarks throughout. The tour itself is a bit bland, but you do get to make your own chocolate bar (adding toppings and spices of your choice to milk or dark chocolate) which is a redeeming point. Not enough to push things back to a three.
If you have a gluten intolerance, you can participate in about half of the demonstrations. Some involve wafers so you'll have to pass on them, though a few stations appear to have spoons for this purpose. Why not all? I'm not sure.
One English tour offered per day at 1:45, other tours in German.
Very good tour! Loved to be able to taste each step of the chocolate, tour guide was in German but he really made an effort to make sure we understood an overview of everything which, combined with the English guide book made it very easy and fun to follow! Gift shop also reasonably priced :)
It was an exciting experience going through the cocoa and chocolate manufacturing process. Having to complete a bar of chocolate was also interesting.
Didn't know whether this was a place for kids. Had a tour only with young adults and had actually a great time. The guide was informative, funny, and engaging; getting to try chocolate at its various stages didn't hurt either.
It shows everything about chocolate and how it is made. And one is even able to create his own chocolate. Very interesting.
This place is great. We were able to taste chocolate at every stage all the way from pod to the final product. There's loads of interesting information about how the beans are stored, roasted, inspected for defects etc. I keep finding my self remembering random facts weeks after visiting.
Also making your own chocolate bar is so good. It's super high quality too.
