Very informative and delicious
As a chocolate lover, I’m ashamed to admit I didn’t know anything about its history. Jessica was so friendly and personable. I highly recommend this tour.

Lots of fun
So much fun! Was a great 2 hours spent learning, tasting, and making chocolate. We sang, we danced, we laughed, we learned a lot of history, and best of all got to try the different ways a cacao bean is prepared and left with a bag full of chocolate :)

Engaging, Entertaining, and Delicious!
Our last minute decision to participate in one more activity ended up being one of our favorite memories of Guatemala! Jessica led us through a history lesson on cacao and let us sample chocolate served in a variety of ways. She was absolutely hilarious and kept my young adult/teen children thoroughly entertained!
