Amazing experience - Vernice, John, and Nathan were amazing! From start to finish, this was the best tour for learning about chocolate. At the beginning of the tour, John provided so much information about chocolate and its origins. Afterward, we headed to Vernice, who gave a very informative tutorial on making our own chocolate. I highly recommend this amazing tour. Nathan was also there to help with any difficulties we had while making the chocolate." Deborah, Carshena, Asia.

So much fun! - We unfortunately got a flat tire on our way to the tour and missed the tour of the grounds. But they were able to have us do the chocolate making and lunch. So much fun but also the staff was so friendly and helpful. But also the location was so beautiful. It was a little cloudy which make it ever more pretty. Would defiantly recommend to anyone.

Amazing informative experience - The experience was amazing! Started with seeing the saplings and everyone got the opportunity to name one - you can check up on it too! Short walk in the forest was hot but the guide was patient, offered everyone water and was very informative! The chocolate making process was hard work but paid off as the chocolate was delicious! Everyone left with a small bar. Be warned that the chocolate is dark chocolate - some found it too bitter but no choice to make milk.

Great visit - We loved our experience - the guided walk around the grounds was informative and the gardens were lovely. Followed by some energetic chocolate making and then the very tasty lunch - what more could you ask for from a half day visit. We were staying nearby which made it all the more enjoyable. Were we to have travelled for a number of hours to get here I feel we may not have felt it was as worthwhile.

Lovely Experience - The guides for this tour were nothing short of amazing. This was a knowledge filled experience and I learned so much from our tour guides. My favorite part was when our tour guide cracked open the cacao and allowed us to taste what was inside. So sweet and delicious. This was a great experience and I highly definitely recommend.
