This was one of the highlights of our trip to Cuenca. We booked the full experience, which included a guided visit to the museum, preparing your own chocolate bar, and tasting chocolate and chocolate milk. It was an entertaining and fun cultural activity. Our kids (8 and 10 y.o.) had a lot of fun and we all learned a lot. Would recommend 100%.
Tour 100% recommended, Gabriela and Michelle the guides give us a lot of information, answer questions and make this tour totally interactive. We loved the moment of making our bar and being able to decorate it, I totally recommend it if you are visiting Cuenca, an activity that you should not miss. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Great value for the price and overall nice experience!
Gracias por su visita y la valoración positiva a la experiencia del cacao y chocolate
Delightful chocolate filled experience! Starting with the history and making of chocolate, it then moves on to making your own chocolate and then ends with a tasting. The guides were absolutely lovely and so informative and it was packed full of delicious chocolate! Excellent value for money. Highly recommended!
