Insight into Panamanian Chocolate Making - A truly informative view through all the steps of Panamanian chocolate making. Very interactive while still maintaining safety. Truly a wonderful experience for the family from seeing the cocoa plant to making our own bars.

What a fun activity! - We had so much fun! Our host guided us thoroughly through the chocolate making process but the best part was our own chocolate bars at the end. You won't be disappointed!

Great experience! - This was a super fun experience! It was the perfect blend of an activity and learning about how chocolate is made. Was fun for our whole family. My teen daughter and mother both loved it. The shops and dining in the area were also fun to explore.

Fantastic chocolate making class - This was a great experience; we learnt the origins of chocolate making, and how different species of fruit trees affect the flavour of cocoa nibs in the cocoa fruit. Our host (Spanish & English speaking) was engaging, made it a great journey for the grown ups, and for our impatient little daughter. Great activity to do when in Panama City. Their chocolate is truly divine

Cute, fun experience - It was a very fun experience. They walk you through the process and even give you samples to try. You get to actually make a chocolate bar. 🍫 You even got to play a guessing game with some of their samples. Would definitely recommend.

Little Piece of Chocolate Heaven - Our chocolatier Mirin was so kind, engaging and informative! Learning about the process of cherry to bar and Panama’s Geisha coffee interesting and delicious! If you are having second thoughts about booking this tour, don’t!

A Good Stop in Casco Viejo - This class took place in a small shop in Casco Viejo. We booked online and given directions to the store. Upon arrival, there wasn’t clarity around check in, just a bunch of people standing around. So we waited and class started a little after the start time. It felt a little unorganized, we all had to wash out hands in the little bathroom in the back. So we all went, stood in line, washed our hands and realized there was no way to dry our hands. They fixed this the 2nd time we had to wash up. Attendees stood around and we learned how a cocoa bean becomes chocolate and then got to add our own topping to a chocolate bar. I was surprised how quickly they were “ready” for is to take home. Overall a fun experience, but could have been a bit more organized.

Chocolate bar making - It was ok. But I book this experience for my 3 kids and they were willing to do more the whole process of making the chocolate. Instead they bring the melted chocolate and they just had to pure it in a plastic mold to make and add toppings to do the chocolate bar. All the explanation of the process of how they obtain the cacao was good
