Very kind and a lovely activity; Angel is an excellent person, I recommend him.
Angel was an excellent guide and teacher! Our whole family loves this experience. Thank you for showing us how to make authentic chocolate!!
Angel was very informative and the process of making Tequila. Great advice and recipes for Matgaritas
Great experience. Patty the tour guide was awesome. My thirteen year old enjoyed making chocolate by hand.
Great informative tour! Plus homemade chocolate to take home!
This was a nice way to spend an early afternoon away from the cruise port. Angel was our guide and did a great job explaining the history of chocolate and the relationship to the Mayan culture. It’s an interactive journey where you learn the history, see a Mayan home, learn about the day of the dead, get a fresh made corn tortilla with chocolate mole and then head up to a step by step journey to create your own chocolate bar manually the Mayans did in the past. After that we had an opportunity to make our own chocolate Margaritas based on Angels recipe. They were surprisingly good and refreshing treat on a warm afternoon. They have a nicely setup gift store to purchase chocolate bars and other cocoa products along with Talavera pottery and other items. This is definitely something worth doing and a welcome change if you want a short break from the beach and water. Easy Taxi ride from cruise port and easy to get back with plenty of time to enjoy the port shopping and board the cruise ship. Highly recommend Angel, he has a passion for chocolate!
Angel was incredible, fun, and made the best Chocolate! This was worth the time.
Ángel did a great job! Fun experience and very good chocolate.
Angel was an amazing tour guide! Very knowledgeable, friendly, and made it a fun experience. Would recommend the tour with family or friends.
This is a fun and informational experience. We had a good time going thru the tour with our guide, and then grinding cocoa beans to make our own chocolate and a delicious chocolate margarita. Paty, our guide, was super sweet and knowledgeable, and we had a great VIP tour, since we were the only ones there that day. As a sidenote, there is no taxi stop from the chocolate factory, so arrange your return trip before you get dropped off! The taxi from Punta Longosta terminal cost us a little more than expected, but it's a good 20 min ride out there, and our driver waited 2 hours for us, so it was probably worth the cost.
Thanks for visiting, we're still working on getting more transportation ready for our customers in the near by area.
