“Super fun and informative workshop. We learned a lot about cacao’s history and production. We sampled different beans with different styles of production, washed vs fermented, sampled different ground powders, and then roasted and ground our own cacao, which we made into hot chocolate. We got to keep the remainder of our ground chocolate as a delicious souvenir. We would highly recommend this workshop and would do it again. We did it with our two kids, 12 and 8, and they enjoyed it immensely. The staff were super friendly, knowledgeable, and accommodating.”

“This tour was disappointing. They switched out the driver/tour guide last minute without telling us, and the whole experience was not very good. He provided little to no direction, dropping us off at the first stop and even letting us walk in the wrong direction until another tour guide kindly pointed out the way. He also was not waiting for us in or anywhere near the van after that stop and said he had gone to lunch - at 11 am when lunch in Mexico is usually at 2pm and with no warning. The whole day was like that. Little information on where he was taking us and what to…”
