Excellent trip. Nelson was awesome!!! !!!!!!!!!! Very informative and a lot of fun for the whole family: excellent service and a wonderful experience

We absolutely loved the coffee and chocolate tour with Cesar as our guide! Very informative and entertaining. Highly recommend!

Excellent tour, set in beautiful landscape, showing production of coffee and chocolate from plant to final product. Lots of samples along the way. Very interactive. Great for adults and children. We had Cesar as our guide who was particularly knowledgeable and engaging and entertaining. Good value for money.

Our guide was wonderful. Beautiful walk and area to learn about the history of chocolate and make your own. My teenagers enjoyed it.

This is a must stop tour! Cesar was amazing at accommodating our family of 8 for a tour. The tour was very engaging and educational for both kids and adults. Cesar’s energy, knowledge, and friendliness made for a great tour. The chocolate and coffee were outstanding. Probably some of the most delicious chocolate I’ve had. The kids were entertained and engaged the entire time. So much fun and delicious! Definitely a high point of our travels in La Fortuna.

This was exactly what I was hoping for in a chocolate tour. We got to walk around the farm and see how cacao is grown, as well as seeing the actual pods on the trees! We saw a variety of edible, ornamental, and medical plants, and got to try raw cacao seeds and herbs directly from the plants. We had the opportunity to grind fermented and roasted beans to create the basis for "The drink of the gods" and we had the chance to pick toppings to put into a chocolate bonbon. (Red pepper and salt, and red pepper and coconut were both EXCELLENT) After the tour we had lunch in the cafetería there and it was so delicious. Some of the best food we've had here. The whole experience was a dream and I'm so glad we went.

We had such an AMAZING day here. We started with the chocolate tour followed by the cooking class and it was all outstanding. Well worth the time and money. The tour was so informative and the cooking so much fun. We made tortillas and empanadas and they were so good. A must do when in the area. If you have the time, do them both.

Your reviewer is very sceptical re tours like this, and very early on he felt all his fears were about to come true but then........ talk about 'zero to hero' the next 2 hours or so were brilliant!! Our guide for the afternoon was Cesar, really good and often bringing out his inner 'gameshow host'. The whole process from tree to bar was thoroughly enjoyable, highlights being preparing and grinding the beans, using a bike and an old style mincing machine (see the photo to the left) to turn them into a powder. I loved Cesar and his drum, and the chocolate song during some of the preparation, superb. I never knew they added so much sugar, but it's really bitter if they do not. Adding salt, chilli, coconut, cinnamon, amongst other to see what it tasted like. Finally making a batch to take away, (eat quick once they take it out of the freezer, or it will melt rather quickly!!) and a few extra's for our Tour Guides (I think they got the Chilli ones!) I you do one Chocolate tour, when you visit Arenal/La Fortuna, do this one. What an afternoon. Highly Recommended.

This is a two hour tour, and it flew by! It was a really fun tour... educational, yet my teen daughters loved it, so you know it's good! Ceasar was a great tour guide! And it's tasty to boot!

We had a private 1-1 tour with our guide, Caesar of the farm that includes coffee history and making our own chocolate!! We bought home delicious chocolate bon bons, and drank the rich and smooth coffee. Also shout-out to Rosa , one of the staff in the farm for her amazing local recommendations! I highly recommend going on this tour! Was the best experience of learning and making coffee and chocolate. Also the directions was a bit confusing..turns out we had to go further down rute 4, make sure you download the map of waze !

Wow we loved this!! My boyfriend and I had so much fun. We picked a cacao fruit, tried it, learned about it and continued to the dried cacao. Again trying and making things with it. We did a cacao ceremony and made bon bons (chocolates). We ate more than enough chocolate, danced, sang and laughed so much. We got to take the chocolates home too. It was one of our favorite activities we have ever done. Highly recommend!!! You can eat as much or as little as you want and our allergies (peanut and dairy) were not an issue. Staff was so fun and kind.

Fun, educational and delicious! Little hands-on but just enough if you are traveling with children anything more involved would get messy

I visited with my 3 teens and wow! What a fabulous experience! Caesar was an amazing host, very knowledgeable and entertaining! The entire experience was interactive - our whole family participated in the grinding of coffee and preparing of chocolate bonbons to our liking. We had many opportunities to taste and to dance along! The grounds are breathtaking - right alongside the river and much flora. Don’t skip out on this opportunity - worth it!

Fun way to see how chocolate and coffee are grown and processed on a small family farm. We also saw a sloth and it's baby! Our tour guide was lots of fun and we got to make delicious chocolates!

Extremely informative. Hands on. Great service. We get to see the plants, see the process and have hands on the entire process.
