York's Chocolate Story

Guided tour of the city that gave the world Kit Kat and Terry’s Chocolate Orange, with tastings.

York was built on chocolate as much as on Romans and railways, and this guided tour tells the story of Rowntree's and Terry's with plenty of samples and a chance to make your own bar. It is ticketed, indoors and about an hour and a quarter; the café downstairs is good. Book for school holidays.

When it works

Indoors, so the weather does not matter. Best morning, afternoon.

Good for kids and groups.
