Been to many chocolate tours and this one was the lightest. Less than 20 minutes and a very steep $8 fee. Tour guide did not seem happy to show location with only the two of us signed up. You are just going into the back of a house and seeing the "kitchen" area where folks are manually making chocolates.

The tour was short but very informative. All of the original equipment is amazing! We’ll worth the price

I am not sure I understand the high ratings. Tour is under 20 minutes of which a portion is a video. $8 fee and no complimentary tasting. You simply go back into the working area where folks are making the chocolates. Some brief explanation of the process - but similar tours are free or include a sample.

Not really a tour and the guide was not well versed or informative. The video is good and perhaps could have elaborated more since the tour did not. You paid for your piece of chocolate basically.

The factory tour was a little underwhelming. Chocolate was great though. And of course anything with bourbon is special.

Short, sweet, and delicious. Worth the time to hear the story, and, of course, sample the chocolate.

Friendly staff. Interesting look at how the products are made using traditional methods by hand. This business still has original equipment manufactured decades ago but is well maintained and is still producing thousands of pieces of chocolate per week.

We thoroughly enjoyed the tour. It doesn’t last long because the production area is fairly small, but we learned so much about the history of Rebecca Ruth Chocolates, and the free sample was delicious 😀. The staff could not have been nicer.

This is such a cute shop and touring the factory was interesting. It’s amazing that they provide for 3 stores and some local distilleries out of this small scale operation. The bourbon balls were very good, and considering I don’t like bourbon that’s saying something. Try some of there other chocolates too, there’s no bad choices.
