5.00Me and my boyfriend went on their chocolate and coffee tour from Quito. It was incredible! The coffee tour was at a smal local place, with a very friendly guide, and... we even got to roast our OWN coffee! We learned everything about the cacao, got to see the whole chocolate making process, from the tree to the choclate bar. On top of that, we tasted everything cacao: the cacao fruit, the nibs, all types of chocolate and even did some very unexpected chocolate experiments! The lunch was included! We both got the fish option, which was delicious! Our guide was very knowledgable and nice.
