Joseph showed us the processes for making chocolate and coffee. Wonderful experience. We made our own candy bars, cookies, hot chocolate and coffee. There were farm animals to pet and look at and a delicious lunch! Joseph had a nice sense of humor and good stories to tell. Please note that they do not sell any coffee, chocolate, or souvenirs at this location. Very educational.
This tour was fun to learn about cacao, coffee and sugar cane. Sergio was very knowledgeable and the tour was interactive We learned from about agriculture, processing the beans and sugar cane and also got to taste the chocolate, coffee and sugar cane juice. We enjoyed a nice meal too. Transportation to and from our hotel was included in the tour. Sergio made this tour one of our favorites!
Thank you for making us one of your favorites! We are so glad you enjoyed the Chocolate, Vanilla & Coffee Combo Tour with Sergio. It is great to hear you enjoyed the deep dive into the big three of Costa Rican agriculture. Sergio loves sharing that journey from the field to the final product | and tasting the fresh sugar cane juice and chocolate really brings the lesson to life. We are glad the included transport made the logistics easy for you. Thanks for tasting your way through Costa Rica with us! Pura Vida, The Tucanes Tours Team
My friend and I enjoyed this tour. The tour guide shared his knowledge on cocoa, coffee and vanilla and we had a short walking tour to see how they grow. We got to make a chocolate bar, have a good dinner plus dessert from the cocoa and coffee beans we grinded. All the staff was very nice and helpful.
Thank you for the lovely review! We are so glad you and your friend enjoyed the Chocolate, Vanilla & Coffee Combo Tour. There is really nothing like seeing the vanilla vines and cacao pods growing right on the farm to appreciate the final flavor. We are glad you enjoyed the hands-on part, too—grinding your own beans definitely makes that dessert taste a little sweeter! We will pass your thanks on to the staff; they love making sure every guest feels welcome and well-fed. Pura Vida, The Tucanes Tours Team
The choclate tour guide was great. The guide really liked his job. He knew what he was doing. Talked about the origin of chocolate and coffee in general and in Costa rica. Then we made our own choclate bars & cookies. Walked around the farm ond plantation and finnished of with a great meal.
Thank you for the tasty review! We are so glad you enjoyed the Chocolate, Vanilla & Coffee Combo Tour. It makes such a huge difference when a guide truly loves their subject | passion is contagious! We are glad he could share that deep history of chocolate and coffee with you while exploring the farm. There is no better way to learn than by doing (and eating). We hope those custom chocolate bars and cookies were the perfect sweet finish to the day. Glad the final meal hit the spot too! Pura Vida, The Tucanes Tours Team
Our family had a blast at the chocolate-coffee plantation tour with **Brenda** We were lucky to be a part of a small group and felt like we have gotten a lot of value. Our kids (4 & 6) enjoyed the short hike up the plantation and learning about different vegetables. The chocolate bar making was awesome as well. We got to use our hands to craft our own personal bar with different spices. Again I would like to mention and thank Brenda for being *the nicest* tour guide, we loved it.
Thank you for bringing the family along! We are so happy to hear the Chocolate, Vanilla & Coffee Combo Tour provided that quality bonding time. It is fantastic to know that even the younger ones (ages 4 & 6) enjoyed the hike and the vegetable garden. We love seeing kids get curious about nature | and getting their hands sticky making custom chocolate bars is definitely the best way to learn! We will make sure to pass your lovely compliment to Brenda. She takes great pride in making sure every guest feels welcome, so she will be beaming to hear she was "the nicest." Thanks for visiting us! Pura Vida, The Tucanes Tours Team
This was one of our favorite tours! Such a perfect thing to do on a rainy afternoon/evening. Brenda was so welcoming, knowledgeable and personable. Learning about how coffee is made as well as the origins of chocolate was super interesting as well as touring the spice garden. Crystal was our private chef who made us a delicious meal and we got to eat the chocolate cookies we made for dessert as well as chocolate milk and our homemade chocolate bars. I would totally recommend this tour!!!! It was a cozy activity to do on a rainy night.
Thank you for the cozy review! We agree completely...the Chocolate, Vanilla & Coffee Combo Tour is the absolute best way to spend a rainy afternoon in Manuel Antonio. There is something special about being under the roof | smelling fresh spices and roasting cacao | while the rain falls outside. We are so glad Brenda could make the history of those ingredients come alive for you. And of course | the best part is the tasting. We will pass your compliments to Crystal for the delicious meal. We are glad you enjoyed your homemade chocolate bars! Pura Vida, The Tucanes Tours Team
A spectacular visit, we learned a lot about both cocoa and coffee and their whole process. Also from medicinal plants and vanilla. Our guide Brenda was super nice, indispensable her knowledge to learn everything we learned. Incredible experience preparing sweets and tablets with 100% cocoa and to top off the married who prepared Cristal was exquisite. 100% recommended:)
Qué alegría leer esto! Nos encanta saber que la experiencia fue tan completa, tanto en aprendizaje como en sabor. Brenda es una enciclopedia andante y le encantará saber que disfrutaron tanto de sus explicaciones sobre el cacao, el café y las plantas medicinales. Preparar su propio chocolate es siempre la mejor parte (¡y la más deliciosa!), pero nos alegra mucho que el almuerzo también fuera un éxito. Le pasaremos sus felicitaciones a Cristal; ella cocina con mucho amor y el Casado es su especialidad. ¡Gracias por la recomendación! Pura Vida, El equipo de Tucanes Tours
Joseph was super friendly and incredibly informative, we learned so much with him as our guide! The animals on the farm are cute and a nice little bonus. We got the chance to make our own chocolate bars and cookies, learn about the different plants and their medicinal uses, and the lunch provided was excellent. I can’t say enough great things about our guide Joseph - we accidentally left our chocolate bars behind and later in the evening Joseph surprised us at our hotel and dropped them off! If you get a chance, you absolutely need to book this tour.
We are so grateful for your kind words and 5-star rating! Our team works hard to ensure every customer has a memorable experience. If there’s anything else we can do to make your next visit even better, please let us know.
Very engaging and educational. Our guide Karla was a wealth of knowledge and really made sure we had everything we needed and answered all our questions. Making chocolate bars was fun and the meal served was delicious. I highly recommend!
Thank you for sharing your experience with us! We are thrilled to hear that you had a great time at TUcanes Tours. We look forward to welcoming you back soon!
This was the excursion my wife and I were most excited for on our vacation and it did not disappoint! We started the day meeting our intelligent, energetic and personable guide Karla Alvarado who made the trip so much fun and incredibly educational. Once on location we picked our own vegetables, cooked ceviche (vegetarian), chopped/prepared/cooked a traditional Costa Rican lunch and then enjoyed the fruits of our efforts. We then explored the farm and found cocoa trees and many other spices. Finally we ground coffee beans and cocoa using traditional methods and used the products to make our own coffee, chocolate cookies and chocolate bars which we were able to bring home. Overall a truly original experience made even better by the wonderful staff!!
Thank you for the 5-star rating! We are thrilled to know that you enjoyed our Chocolate, Vanilla and coffee Tour. Your feedback motivates us to continue providing exceptional service to all our customers.
