Tasty souvenirs
We enjoyed making our chocolate bars. The tour was just two rooms and she spoke very fast. We each made one bar and a chocolate covered a marshmallow. Participants could choose from dark chocolate milk chocolate or white chocolate. You fill a cup with the chocolate and pour into a mold and you can add sprinkles. It was fun and we got to bring home a bar in marshmallow and a little plastic bag. The walk isn't bad from the cruise port to the Chocolate Factory (meeting place). If you have mobility issues the area is not wheelchair or scooter friendly.

Life is about the experience. Take a walk in Nassau and go make chocolate.
Our family had the best time with Greycliff Chocolatier. The staff were knowledgeable and answered all our questions. We cleaned our hands, put on hairnets and aprons before entering the kitchen where all the magic happens. The tour guide walks you thru the whole process of how they make their chocolate. You get to taste the dark, milk, and white chocolate before choosing which chocolate bar you wish to make. Our tour was small, just seven people from two families. We had so much fun laughing with the other family as we played in our cups of chocolate while making our bars.

Check in is at a counter in the middle of the store, across from the alcohol counter, before you go downstairs into the gift shop area. There isn't a designated spot to wait inside for the tour. There are chairs and tables on the patio outside, but it's on you to watch the time and let yourself into the white room with the two fake trees. Greycliff is cashless, so bring your credit card. There is a gift shop/snack bar for purchases. Our tour was on a hot July day so our chocolate bars all slightly melted during the short walk back to the cruise ship. We are a group of teens and adults who all enjoyed this experience. We spent maybe three hours from the time we left the ship to our return because we also walked thru the Straw Market on our way to Greycliff.

The best chocolate in the world!
Making chocolate and tasting the chocolate, straight from the cacao bean to the dark, milk, and white chocolate. Lindt, Godiva, Ferraro, Ghirardelli's, Purdys, etc.etc. does not come close to the taste and quality of the chocolate here at Bahamas' Graycliff Chocolatier. And the teas, spices, chocolate beverages, desserts, etc. is an extra bonus. Thank you Crystal, Denai, and the chocolatier chef that made this experience fun, enjoyable, and memorable. Definitely coming back here again. The Graycliff community brings a lot of beauty into Nassau, Bahamas

Great Chocolate Tour
The tour guide was very knowledgeable about the entire chocolate process. I was able to taste the chocolate and make my own chocolate bar. The cashier even provided me with amazing directions back to port, which in turn saved me time and money. I also bought a unique souvenir.

The tour that keeps on giving
This is such a great family tour. We walked from the cruise terminal to the chocolate factory. Good thing I had our receipt as the store did not have our reservation. Once I showed them my paid receipt everything came together. We had a wonderful time on the tour and learned a lot about the art of chocolate and how it is made. The best part is making your own chocolate treats. We are still snacking our treats over a month later! Great time... Donメt miss the fresh made conch fritters and conch salad across the street. Also, the hotel and restaurant next to the chocolate factory look amazing. I wish we had had time to eat at the restaurant which looked so spectacular.
