We called the place and they told us we cannot join the tour in Hungarian, even tho I speak Hungarian and I want to bring my grandmother to celebrate her 81st birthday. She doesnt speak english or hungarian, so it doesnt make any sense to put her in an English tour. They wont let me and my grandma visit in the normal tour because we are foreigners (been living here for 10 years) and they say we must visit the tour for foreigners (the more expensive one)

Kind and thoughtful staff in a beautiful place, easily accessible by the public transport. All info about the history of chocolate was interesting and informative, and the museum is full of great historical artifacts.
Apart from all the several delicious chocolate tastings, we were served a delicious gourmet petit gateau-like dessert and high quality tea.
We will definitely recommend this to our friends!

Really enjoyed the 2 hour long guided tour. We learnt a lot about the history of chocolate, how it is made and how healthy it is. The founder of the museum is with a lot of passion for chocolate therefore he was the most authentic person to guide the tour. Tasting different types of chocolate is also part of the tour which was an amazing experience as well.

I must say that all the way from India to that remote place of Budapest was an interesting activity for us. What made it more special for us was the hospitality extended by their staff; and the name which comes to my mind is Erica! Sorry for writing late but She has really made our experience at the museum nice and interesting. With lots of chocolate tasting and wonderful stories from Erica made our time at the museum very very nice. We enjoyed it. Thanks Erica....

The best muzeum I have ever been to. In one hour I have eaten like ten difderent kinds of deliocous and good quality chocolates. And I got like 190g of chocolate to eat and take home. And at the end you can buy more of the chocolate you liked best.

I really loved my trip to the chocolate museum, it was a beautiful building tucked away outside Budapest. We got a Taxi there, the driver had never heard of it. We were greeted at the door by a wonderful guide I can’t remember his name. The smell of chocolate as we walked in was lovely. He ask would I like to use the toilet which for me had the wow factor. This was originally a hunting lodge that belonged to a family. It was a gentle guide of the history of the building and chocolate. Lots of nice things to taste and we made our own chocolate tart that they boxed up for us to take home. We were give a lovely cake and a class of wine and tea, which we ate round the beautiful table. We met a family from Manchester and went back on the train. A wonderful trip well worth it. Lovely guide. Thank you for a wonderful memory

Popped in as a planned shopping especially for teas. I have to say their teas is the best one ever on the world! The chocolates are also great and high quality. The place itself is very unique, it's a palace I should say. The staff were very helpful and friendly. I'm living far away from them but if my tea level will run low I'll try their online delivery service (yes, they can deliver it to abroad).

Amaizing and with a personal feeling tour, beautifully decorated building, very friendly and kind staff (the tour guide was fantastic).
I learned some new and historical things about chocolate that I had never heard in other museum.
It is no doubt one of the most interesting and untraditional chocolate museum tours I have ever been to.

This is definitely one of a must to visit place in Budapest. Went for teas but came out with chocolates too! If you are a lover of chocolate or tea you won't be disappointed.
Don't miss out the tour too.
(Were there in January but couldn't find the card where to leave feedback. Today I found it.)

Yes and no. Be sure to tell them when you make your reservation that you have allergies as I did. They were able to make some substitutions, but not for every tasting. There were plenty of dairy-free options in the shop though!

Уважаемый инвестор! В Музее шоколада есть экскурсовод на английском и венгерском языках. Но нет ничего плохого в том, чтобы есть шоколад вместо того, чтобы говорить. :)
Мы сможем получить вас, когда вы будете правы 14 декабря в 11:00. Пожалуйста, напишите нам по адресу csm@r-d.hu. С уважением, Моника
