Great chocolate tour

My husband and I had a great time at the chocolate tour in Mundo. Our guide was super knowledgeable and we learned so much about chocolate processing. I loved that it was hands on and that we got to taste the different components of chocolate and also we got to taste different flavors of chocolate. My only regret is that we were pressed for time and we had to rush our tour. I would definitely give this place a visit.

Welcoming and expert chocolate tour!

A welcoming start to Mindo! From the moment I walked in, I was greeted and the team told me to make myself comfortable. It turned out to only be me on the tour (even better!). You get a history of the cacao pod to bar process, and a walk around the small grounds to be shown different stages of the process and also different types of cacao tree. I was very lucky with my guide as Jari stopped to show me other bits of wildlife (like a hummingbird nest) and explained the importance of chocolate to t...read more

Thorough tour with knowledgeable guide

Got a slightly late start but they gave us some great hot chocolate for free make up for it. Fantastic! Once the tour got started, we only had three in our group but he spent over an hour with us describing all the nuances of producing chocolate and giving us numerous samples of the finished product. Highly recommended!
