About Chocolate Ecstasy Tours
Obsessed with chocolate (the nicer the better), Chocolate Ecstasy Tours is dedicated to showing people where to get delicious chocolates, introducing them to hard to find places and explaining the differences between different types of chocolate. Mostly however, Chocolate Ecstasy Tours are about spending a few fun hours being guided around gorgeous streets, with little bits of local history to intersperse a lot of chocolate sampling. We've also negotiated special treats and discounts en route for a proper VIP experience.
How did Chocolate Ecstasy Tours begin?
Chocolate Ecstasy Tours began from one girl's passion
for (obsession with) chocolate and a love of London and
meeting people.
In 2004, Jennifer Earle (the girl), arrived in London and discovered amazing chocolate, so set about finding some more. Learning that many of London's best chocolate shops were hidden away she thought perhaps other people might like to be saved the heartache and shown to the shops by a fellow chocolate lover. Even better if they can taste the chocolate first and get a discount on the chocolate they buy.
After much more research (this mainly involved eating lots of chocolate) Jennifer guided her first Chocolate Tour group in September 2005 and then opened to the public in January 2006.
