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.

Sweet! Make Your Own Chocolate! - When in Central America, one of the must-dos is trying their chocolate. In fact, this is the origin of all chocolate, so they must be good at it, right? We decided to book a chocolate tour at Vista Los Sueños and we were in for a treat. The tour encompasses all stages of the chocolate-making process, from the cocoa bean to the roasting to the grinding to the hot chocolate and chocolate-covered fruits, it's an interactive experience every step of the way. You get to taste at every stage, from the raw cocoa beans to the final product, and see how it transforms into something truly amazing. The explanations that were given were both informative and interesting, giving the history of chocolate and how it was important to the Mayan people. When you get to make your hot chocolate, you can customize it how you like it: cinnamon, vanilla, chili, no milk, it's all for the tasting.

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…
