I was there on April and we had an organized tour around chocolate factory. Don't come there untill the season of producing chocolate starts. It is from the end of July to the end of January. At the begining you can try different Perugina products. There is also a small shop, where you can buy chocolate, T-shirts etc. More

I arrived solo. Luckily, there was a tour in progress. Unfortunately, it was with about 60 very happy kids. Access to the factory is only by arranged tours, which means that unless there is a tour scheduled that day, solo travellers are out of luck. For this privilege, one has to now pay 5 euros. There is some chocolate tasting... More

Changed travel plans to fit in a tour of the factory and it was worth it. Tour was so much fun, the tour guide person there was AWESOME and friendly. Chef made chocolates on site in front of us, and we got to eat them when he was done. More

Read the reviews and decided to go. You must have a car to get there. It is Not FREE as other reviewers indicated. It is 5 euros each. You get a handful of chocolates no gift bag as others had mentioned. The tour is interesting and has a chef demo at the end. Small children will be bored. As it... More

We went as a family of 4, in an English speaking tour with many others. As such it was only 3 euros per person and free for our 11 year old daughter. So what did we get for 9 euros? We sat and watched a short video explaining the history of Baci chocolates. Then walked into the tasting area where... More

Tours are offered in both Italian and English. There is a small fee for the tour but the Perugina company was very generous with their free samples. Not only do you learn the history of the Perugina chocolate company, you get to see the factory. The workers waived back to our daughters. The machines they've created to do a lot... More

While visiting Umbria during early June our group did a tour of the Perugina museum, factory and chocolate class. When we first got to the museum we got to watch a short video explaining the history of the factory before being taken through the museum. It was definitely interesting to hear how the famous chocolate came to be and seeing... More

Easy to find and fairly interesting, but the guide books don't mention that the factory doesn't operate in the summer months. We toured the 'museum' which was marginally interesting and watched a demonstration by a chef who prepared chocolate candy. Meh. More
