This was the only tour that we were with other people, and it was fun to have that experience. Our guide was great, and it was a fun activity to make our own chocolate.

So much fun to make a chocolate bar from start to finish. And loved that the whole tour was under a shelter,
It was a lightly rainy day and we could stay dry… bring bug spray to spray yourself right before the tour.

great tour, kids really enjoyed it, saw both two and three toed sloths which was a bonus! Only disappointment this is not a working plantation and so we did miss some of the visual education we maybe would have had in Monteverde.

Our guide was spectacular. He was informative, friendly, light-hearted, welcoming and knowledgeable.
It was a fun time. Only problem was that one in our party, did not get any hot chocolate as they ran out.

This was another great experience for us. Our guide was extremely professional and an incredible teacher/presenter. We learned a lot about the process of making chocolate and coffee.

Everything was good and we enjoyed it. But I just thought we'd see more of the actual machinery of making chocolate, so it was slightly different than expected.
