Overall rating

The tour took place entirely in the shade of the local plantation. The guide was incredibly funny, but also made it a point to impart a lot of knowledge. We went through all the steps of chocolate production one by one and carried out some of them ourselves. We were able to try lots of things in between and especially at the end.

It was a really great experience. Elio taught us a lot about history and was able to show us a lot. We had a great time with him and Tom. I can only recommend this activity. First you learn something, then you are shown something and you can make or mix brownies and cocoa yourself.

The guide was great, had great energy and charisma. At the end you could try chocolate with different spices, it was very tasty

Wonderful tour, highly recommended. As much chocolate as you can eat! It's really worth it.

Everything was perfect. Our guide was really funny :)
