The tour was quite...
The tour was quite intriguing and informative. Definitely a memorable experience to see the entire process of the chocolate from seed to finish product. Simon was an awesome tour guide.

Unique and unforgettable experience!
Simon, our guide, absolutely made this one of our favorite experiences in Guyaquil. He made sure to point out local highlights along the way, and was incredibly knowledgeable with the farm and the chocolate making process. From walking through the trees to select the ripe pods, roasting and peeling the beans, making an incredibly flavorful chocolate drink (I can't remember the name), to crafting our own chocolate bar, Simon and the staff at the plantation were welcoming and friendly, and made ou...read more

Thorough explanation and then ending in an amazing lunch just was the icing ...read more

Highly recommend!
I really had a great time! Booked the trip last minute, 2am that same day! They were unable to schedule the 9am tour but was able to accommodate me at noon. Driver picked me up from hotel on time and got me there and back safely. The tour of cocoa farm was awesome, lunch was great, and I would definitely encourage you to go. A much need getaway from the busy city and experience a dry rainforest. Also, great photos and friendly tour guides!
