A fun stop going around the island of Cozumel

Judith_L, May 2026

This is a fun, interesting, and educational tour. It’s not really about how chocolate as we know it, is made, but how the Mayans regarded it and how they made the chocolate they used. Our guide, Paty, was delightful. The only pressure we felt was the need to tip all the people involved in the different parts of the tour.

Response from Host, May 2026

We're sorry to hear you felt that way about tipping. We'll look into that.

Went on a whim and glad we did

It was a lovely time, informative and interesting. Our daughter compared it to a field trip. Our guide Angel was so kind. Would definitely recommend if you’re looking for a something to do that isn’t a multi hour experience.

Response from Host, Feb 2026

Angel is great with kids, thanks for sharing!

I always learn something new!

Great place to go to learn about chocolate (my all time favorite)! I've been here twice now and they are always friendly. Because we arrived early, they took us right in and we had almost a "private" tour. I loved that they added the tortilla experience too. Our guide was Eduardo. He was very kind and allowed us to ask all kinds of questions. I loved having the chocolate cooking demonstration. Even better is that this experience didn't take an extraordinarily long time, so we went to the public beach right next door. Fantastic time!

Response from Host, Dec 2025

Well then, we hope to see you a third time now; and you do, mention your review to get a special gift.

Informative, especially...

TIMOTHY_M, Sep 2025

Informative, especially for chocoholics Very tropical foliage on the grounds - Angel was our great guide - he was humorous and still an educator

Response from Host, Sep 2025

We appreciate the review, thanks!

Great experience!

Diana_M, Feb 2024

We loved this tour! Our 15 year old son said he liked this more than snorkeling earlier in the day! Our tour guide, Angel, was funny, personable, and kind. We loved it! And the homemade tortillas were fire. So good. But the chocolate was the. Bomb. Loved getting a small glimpse at Mayan and even Mexican culture for a very reasonable price. Highly recommend!!!

Response from Host, Feb 2024

Thank you for giving us the chance to show you a little part of Mexico and the Chocolate history. Come back again =)

Great excursion

Shannon_F, Nov 2022

Response from Host, Nov 2022

We're really grateful and appreciate you taking the time to share your experience with us. Hope to see you soon trying another one of our tours.

I’ll pasd

Mark_H, Sep 2021

Very strange. It was 2 of us and our guide but another employee followed us the entire time , stared at us but never spoke made it very uncomfortable

Response from Host, Sep 2021

In advance, an apology for the discomfort caused by the second guide who accompanied you during your tour ... The guide who was accompanying you for a couple of minutes is a newcomer and his job was to be a listener, that was the reason why he did not interact with you ... Again an apology for the discomfort it caused you ...
