Know More about this tour

Choose from one of two start times, and then meet your guide in central Oxford to discover the citys sugar-coated delights. While known for its university colleges and architecture, Oxford is also home to an eclectic array of independent boutiques, cafes and chocolatiers all of a quality that reflects the citys eminent status.

Follow your guide around the streets to learn about chocolate, hearing little-known facts about its health benefits and stress-relieving properties. Along the way, visit seven establishments where some of the finest chocolate, candy and cakes can be found. Venues and types of samples may change, but typical highlights are as described below.

Venture inside Hardys Sweet Shop, a lovely example of a traditional British candy shop where shelves heave beneath the weight of jars filled with cherry lips, gobstoppers, rock, Uncle Joes Mint Balls and more. After admiring the wares and trying some of the traditional British treats, wander across to a branch of Patisserie Valerie where continental patisseries, chocolates, macarons and cakes are served.

Visit Hotel Chocolat to see gourmet chocolates piled up high, and then try some of the chewy-centered cookies that Bens Cookies produce. Learn about cake design in The Cake Shop where customized cakes are a specialty, and sample some of the citys finest fudge with a visit to the Fudge Kitchen. Recipes used in the shop are said to date back centuries, and their fudge is still made by hand on large marble slabs.

After 2.5 hours exploring the eateries of Oxford, your tour finishes by the citys covered market, leaving you ideally placed to shop for some sugary souvenirs to take home.

Traveler Reviews

  • 11-Apr-2017

    Guide never turned up and it seems we are not the first according to the Sweet shop we were told to meet outside. Absolutely furious and this is not the first time this has happened according to the Sweet shop they could recall at least 4 other groups left waiting some up to an hour with no one turning up. The phone number provide just played music to me for half an hour and the paperwork declares this number as a contact for emergency!

    The photo is of us angry that no one turned up!
