This tour exceeded our expectations. It had been recommended by fellow researchers at La Selva Station as very entertaining and educational, but we found the tour to be designed very thoughtfully and with lots of heart and dedication to detail. Adrian, our guide, war very knowledgeable and we could tell how much he enjoys telling and demonstrating attendees about how cocoa and chocolate are being produced. The hands-on parts were very entertaining and fun, and the samples (that we produced ourselves under Adrian's guidance) we sooo tasty! A one-of-a-kind experience for the whole family that we can highly recommend. Don't miss out, if you're in the area!
I want to highlight the experience with Heyner as a guide and naturalist, in addition to being an excellent speaker, with the ability to teach and engage the audience; the explanation of the cacao tour, the delight of the artisanal chocolate they produce, Naomy was an excellent assistant, covering all the variations and processes; the explanation is complete, filled with history and vivid examples. By far, BEST CHOCOLATE COSTA RICA.
The highlight of my 3 weeks in Costa Rica, and a must do for anyone who is interested in chocolate, culture, history, conservation, nature, storytelling, or fun. It was a cultural and culinary experience I will never forget. I have met many amazing storytellers in my day, but our guide was one of the best- transporting us through the history and process of preparing chocolate by hand- and trust me, you have never had chocolate this good. A must do for anyone in Costa Rica. Please support this business and the wonderful things they are doing.
The guide was very entertaining, and a magnificent story teller. It was enlightening to taste the cacao as it was processed. If you love you nature and information, this is a great tour for youm
Very beautiful experience. Our guide gave us a very nice presentation. The staff is very welcoming and helpful. He helped me with the return taxi. My daughter, who loves chocolate, really enjoyed it. Small activities to do with family. I absolutely recommend it.
Hele leuke in leerzame chocolade tower gehad.
Very rewarding and great guide with lots of humor. Very nice to taste the different phases of cocoa production.
It was interesting that learn about REAL / PURE chocolate VS what we get as typical consumers in the US. The team there did a great job and are making a positive impact on their community.
Coming from NJ and my first trip to CR, I had no idea what to expect. This was FANTASTIC! Incredible knowledge, interactive, hands on, multiple tastings, funny, environmentally aware. 100% would recommend!!!
A very fun and interactive tour. We were only together, but there was really time for us. Nice taste!
