Informative and delicious!

Juan was an excellent guide that is passionate and thorough in his storytelling and knowledge on the history of cacao and how the culture and history impact one another. We loved this experience. The tastings we were given plus the fresh spices and all we learned were so very worth it. Highly recommend!!

Way more than chocolate!!!!

Juan Campos, our guide, was fabulous! His English was great. He was extremely knowledgeable about eco medicine, plant cultivation, including cacao, coffee, sugar cane, spices and herbs. He had us tasting cacao, his recreation of meso-American hot chocolate, Arabica coffee, fresh fruit bites with fresh spices drizzled with liquid chocolate made on the spot. It was scrumptious. Juan, you were the best and thank you for a great experience. For those of you who haven’t met Juan, book this tour!!!

Nice way to learn about cacao.

The knowledgeable tour guide was terrific. Being able to taste the cacao at each stage of the chocolate making process was awesome.

Informative and fun!

Great tour! You learn a lot about the cocoa and coffee industry and all other plants around. Tour guide was super nice and had a lot of knowledge. You get to taste real pure cocoa and coffee. This tour is a must!

Chocolate Tour with Juan

Juan was our tour guide during the cacao tour. He was absolutely phenomenal and very professional! He made sure we gained knowledge on the background of cacao, as well as allowing us to made our own chocolate. It was such a lovely experience overall! Definitely recommend.

Fun, safe, informative!

Our chocolate tour was awesome! Bryan is extremely knowledgeable about the process of making both chocolate and coffee, and just an all-around cool interesting guy. We started with a tour of the beautiful garden/farm, then learned specifics of chocolate and coffee production, with multiple tastings of both. My partner and I felt safe with all covid protocols being followed. Overall a great tour!
