Fun and delicious chocolate experience/tour near Jaco, Costa Rico! - This was a super interesting (and delicious) experience that we did after we had checked out of our hotel but needed to do some non-water adventures prior to heading to the airport. We learned a lot and got to participate in every step of the process. The tasting at the end was very enjoyable. Our 12 year old twins loved it! Alejandro and Haiti were excellent as our guides and experts. They were very knowledgeable and entertaining.

On vacation but learning! - Without a doubt we are richer and sweeter after this tour!!! We tasted the cocoa bean in all its stages of the process until it became Chocolate as we know it! And it was super dynamic and interactive! We recommend! What we liked most was the hot cocoa...incredible!!!! We will never find cocoa like this... with freshly ground seeds! We were afraid that the roads to get there would be bumpy but nothing like that... the road is peaceful for those who don't have a 4x4 or SUV.

5 star review - Really enjoyed this tour. The guide and the person melting the cocoa were very good at what they do. My kids got involved and they were very patient with them.

Chocolate Heaven - This experience was amazing. Not only do you learn about chocolate but you get first hand participation in the creation process. The guide was very informative and engaging. He had us trying to answer questions and then explaining what everything was. I loved that you can buy some of the cocoa that was used during the process in its different forms.

Great tour to learn about the Cacao plant and taste chocolate made from fresh roasted cacao beans! Enjoyed very much! - Our host was great! Made the tour very fun! We got to try the freshly ground cacao beans and a few other versions of the Costa Rican chocolate after learning about the plants. Very enjoyable especially if you love chocolate.

Nice people but not worth the money - Very friendly guide and people working there but to be honest it was not really worth the 45$ (Chocolate tour). In the internet they said it would be 2 h and we were already finished after 1h. It was not authentic at all and nothing special so I would not recommend it, especially if you are looking for an authentic tour. I would have spent the money for something else if I knew what expected me…
