A tour not to be missed - This is the perfect tour for chocolate lovers. The guides are knowledgeable and friendly. You learn a lot, have a great tour of the Rabot Estate and make your own chocolate. It has been the highlight of our visit to St Lucia. We are huge Hotel Chocolate fans and it has been an amazing experience finding out where the chocolate comes from, and the sustainability of the estate.

Loved it! - Unique, highly engaging and interactive, and nearly universally appealing (unless you don’t like chocolate!). Your guide John was highly knowledgeable, friendly, approachable, and entertaining. Thoroughly enjoyable experience, and would recommend to all who have the opportunity to sign up!

This was a great... - This was a great experience. My family loved learning about the history of chocolate and how to make it. We all will never think about chocolate the same way after this experience. We loved trying the different chocolate infused foods yummy.

Just book it! - A must do! The beginning tour and overview of the cocoa bean is informative and interactive! You get to see every step and even taste the bean throughout the lifecycle. The actual chocolate making is so fun and unique. You start with the nibs and end with the chocolate bar, even sweetening it to your own desire. Food and drinks are delicious and so so unique. Very relaxed tour with lots of time to explore at your own pace. The staff is so friendly and knowledgeable. Note that there is a lot of walking and steps but again they let you do it at your pace. The scenery is stunning as well. If you’re considering this tour, do it!

Too expensive for what you get - This was a visit we were really looking forward to as a family, but sadly we left feeling very underwhelmed. We booked the Jungle & Chocolate Making experience, which in our opinion just isn’t worth the money. The jungle itself is beautiful, and our guide, Taj, was excellent – very knowledgeable. That part was enjoyable. However, the chocolate making was only average. It felt very similar to other workshops we’ve done before, such as the children’s chocolate workshop at Hotel Chocolat in Covent Garden. For the price point, I expected much more – especially in terms of chocolate tastings or generous samples. We were a group of 3 adults and 1 child, and the total came to over $400, which really didn’t feel justified for what we got. I will not recommend it to any one I know because of the price. Overall, a disappointing experience given how much we were looking forward to it.
