4.00Great experience and nice little touches made it feel value for money but you don't go on a working farm per se - to see the process, you go in to a greenhouse and walk to different parts of it where a couple of workers show you that part of the process. Lunch was amazing! We booked on the 1pm tour but arrived early and could have lunch before (it's usually at the end of the tour so 3pm so be prepared or go early if you want to eat at lunchtime). Big group so couldn't really hear the guide at times.
Great experience!

5.00This was a fun and educational experience! Our guide, Jonathan was kind, humorous and knowledgeable. Our tour included a chocolate making experience which was good work but culminated with our own chocolate to take home The tour concluded with a delicious meal.

5.00I would highly recommend this to anyone in St Lucia but especially if you are a chocolate lover. It was a great experience to tour their sustainable growing area, seedling growing area, hear how it all started and of course to make our own dark chocolate. It was an entertaining, exciting and rewarding experience. And of course you get to try all kinds of chocolate inspired drinks and food options. A very good way to spend a morning and afternoon.
Fun but $$$.

3.00The experience of grinding the nibs and adding the butter and sugar, to our taste, was fun. However, it was not a $69 experience. Also, the chocolate in the gift shop was a bit expensive. The chocolate experience should include a tour.
A fun interactive...

3.00The experience was great but there wasn't really any tours or anything outside of making the chocolate. I feel that its overpriced for what it is
