I was under the...

Cynthia_G, Apr 2024

I was under the impression that this would be a guided tour. The "guide" was a series of recorded presentations, mostly on the history of chocolate. Few samples. Not worth the price.

Response from Host, Apr 2024

Thank you for your feedback. The museum is indeed not guided but you can visit with an audio guide. This way people can choose what information to listen to and what information they want to skip. Some people prefer to stay in the museum for several hours, others only want to have a quick visit. With an actual guide it is not possible to please both types of visitors. At the end of the visit there are indeed as many tasters as you would like to eat.

Chocoholic experience

Good fun and free chocolate

Denise_S, Dec 2023

Loved hearing about the history of chocolate and how the different types are made via an individual audio guide. Live demonstration was great and free samples a bonus

Great musuem and kids will enjoy too

Rebeccca_J, Oct 2023

This was a great little musuem. We got audio guides and they do a child's version that my 4 year old loved using and did listen to. A really nice way to learn about chocolate, lots of clever and interactive ways of showing the story. And all you can eat chocolate buttons at the end!

Response from Host, Nov 2023

Thank you for this awesome 5 star review! We are happy to see that you and your family have enjoyed your visit of Choco-Story Bruges

Over-crowded and over-priced

Karolina_I, Jul 2023

An over-crowded museum and not at all the experience that I and my family had expected. The ”chocolate-tasting” was just three bins of low-quality chocolate and self-service, not very pedagogic and not very hygienic. Overall not worth the price.

Response from Host, Aug 2023

Thank you for your feedback. We are very sorry to hear that you haven't enjoyed your Choco-Story experience. During the summer holidays, weekends and rainy days it can indeed get rather busy in the museum. Fortunately we have 4 different floors that you can go to when it gets to busy on one of other floors. The chocolate that you can taste at the end of the visit are stored in 4 dispensers. You need to hold your hand under the dispenser, turn the handle and the chocolate falls in your hand. I can assure you, it is very hygienic. The chocolate we give to taste is coverture chocolate. This is real belgian chocolate of the highest quality that the chocolatiers all over the city use to make pralines.

Not very exciting

Quynh_N, Jul 2023

The museum layout discouraged the interest. Listening to the device and self guided tour is not my thing. I’m very disengage and lost interest completely after the 2nd room. Not worth the money we paid for the ticket.

Response from Host, Jul 2023

Thank you for your feedback. We are very sorry to hear that you haven't enjoyed your visit. If you have any suggestions on how we can improve the customer experience you can send them to info@choco-story-brugge.be

A good way to spend a few hours in Bruges.

irkahill, Jun 2023

Watching how pralines were made and the interesting facts about chocolate and how it came to Europe, first to Spain and then to France.

Response from Host, Jul 2023

Thank you very much for awesome review! We are excited to see that you have had a great time visiting Choco-Story Bruges

Yummy chocolate

Claudia_B, Apr 2023

It was nice to be able to go at my own pace! The demonstration and sample chocolate was great. Just wish I could have sat down a bit during the tour.

Response from Host, May 2023

Thank you for your feedback. We will keep your advice in mind.

Sweet Experience

It was very busy and...

Gemma_C, Apr 2023

It was very busy and crowded which unfortunately spoiled the experience a little as I couldn't see exhibits lr the demonstration

Response from Host, May 2023

Thank you for your feedback. Unfortunately during rainy days, weekends or school holidays it can get rather busy in the museum. On such days we recommend to come early in the morning when there isn't a large crowd yet.

I particularly enjoyed...

James_M, Apr 2023

I particularly enjoyed the chocolate-making demonstration at the end of the visit. The chocolatier explained the process clearly and even provided samples of the finished product!

A Chocoholics Mecca

James_G, Apr 2022

Very good historical perspective on the history of chocolate - from its origins to modern day. Audio guide is very useful. Make sure to attend the live presentation at the end of the tour!

Response from Host, Apr 2022

Dear James, thank you for this wondeful 4 star review. We are happy to see that you had a great time at Choco-Story.

Good for a rainy day

Jack_C, Nov 2021

Informative about the history and process of chocolate, but not so in detail about the link with Belgium. Not curated in the best way, but good chocolate demonstration at the end. Fine if it's raining, but not a priority visit.

Response from Host, Jan 2022

Thank you for your nice review. There is no actual link with Belgium specifically, more with Europe as whole, except for the fact that we make the best chocolate. ;p That is explained on the third floor of the museum.

Two thumbs up

Aaron_H, Oct 2021

Excellent experience. Very interesting. Great samples at the end of the tour. Exhibits told a story.

Really nice experience for a family trip

Caio_P, Sep 2021

Friendly staff, the audio devices are easy to use really Nice experience for family with kids around 5 to 6 yrs old.
