Interesting tour - Had a really great trip. Yamil was on time and was an excellent tour guide. Trip to the nature reserve was very interesting and relaxing. The local guide was very knowledgable and I really enjoyed getting out of the city. We went on to the cocoa farm. Very interesting and good explanations of how chocolate is made. Finished off the tour with a delirious lunch. I would recommend this tour.

A wonderful day trip from Guayaquil. - We started with a walk through the forest. We saw interesting plants and animals, including sloth and monkeys. After lunch we toured the chocolate plantation and participated in making some chocolate. It was more fun and interesting than we expected. A very nice way to spend a day.

Five Star Experience - Excellent experience - five stars all around. On-time pick up, knowledgeable guides, friendly service, and good recommendations. We loved the visit to the plantation where we got to see so many different types of plants, fruits, and vegetables. We helped cook lunch and the best part was the fresh chocolate. We made our own chocolate bar by hand!
