      This was a wonderful tour in Antigua. Our guide Vicinto was absolutely fabulous. Full of energy and information. He worked to make a connection with all of the guests! The chocolate was great. And we all got to take home a little bag to share with others. I highly recommend the store.

      Kyra_G, Aug 2026
      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 :)

      It was great! We learned a lot about the history of how chocolate was used and about how the bean itself has changed over time. We got to taste test raw chocolate, lots of different percentages, chocolate tea, and old and new hot chocolate.

      The guide never showed up or communicated with me. I received a full refund from Viator. It sucked because that was a waste of my limited time on vacation.

      Chocolate making

      Elizabeth_D, Jun 2026
      We had an amazing time at this chocolate making class in Antigua! The experience was both fun and educational, and we learned a lot about the history of chocolate and the process of making it from cacao beans. What really made the class special was the instructor. They kept everyone engaged with their energy, humor, and enthusiasm, incorporating singing and dancing throughout the class. It created a fun, interactive atmosphere that made the experience memorable for everyone. We left with a greater appreciation for chocolate and some great memories. I would highly recommend this class to anyone visiting Antigua and looking for a unique and enjoyable activity!

      This chocolate-making experience in Antigua Guatemala was honestly one of the highlights of my trip! 🍫 The hosts were AMAZING—super friendly, funny, and you can tell they really love what they do. They made the whole experience feel fun and relaxed, not like a typical “tour.” You actually get hands-on with everything, from learning about the cacao to making your own chocolate, which made it way more memorable. I learned a lot without it ever feeling like a lesson. By the end, I had a whole new appreciation for chocolate (and yes, got to enjoy some too 😄). If you’re in Antigua, don’t even think twice—just book it. Totally worth it!
