4.00This is a must do, very interesting, professionally done and great fun. The food tastes great, and the chocolate daiquiri was to die for. It’s very expensive for what it is, but still a must do.
Great trip for most, but not all.

5.00I really think that you need to add physical requirements of this trip. Steep hills. Many steps. Walking in wooded areas. I was not aware of these conditions and would have worn proper shoes. Two men had a lot of difficulty and missed parts of the trip. The tour and the guide were wonderful. Very knowledgeable. Loved making chocolate bar. The lunch options were good and delicious.
Chocolate Tour

5.00Tour was great! Nathan, our guide, was very personable and made it fun. Making our chocolate bar at the end was fun. Veronica kept us all engaged, even helping some of us pound the cocao into a paste. That was alittle tough. Would definitely recommend this tour! However...walking on dirt and stone paths and alot os stairs could be tough for some people, especially those with knee and back issues..believe it...take it from our experience!
Great afternoon learning...

5.00Great experience on the Tree to Bar tour. This was a full morning with a tour, just the right amount of information and immersion, and a brilliant experience making our chocolate bars. The lunch was very tasty with brilliant views whilst we waited for our chocolate to set. Recommend for sure, one of the highlights of our trip.
