We loved this experience and would highly recommend it! Our guide was excellent - informative and very funny and engaging. So fun to turn cacao into chocolate by adding our own personally selected ingredients. Coffee was also delicious. Beautiful property and overall a really fun way to spend a couple hours in La Fortuna!

This tour was one of the highlights of our first trip to Costa Rica. Our guide was so personable. and so informative. We learned so much about the growing and processing of the different coffees and chocolate, even getting to make our own chocolate "bars". We would definitely recommend!

As someone who isn’t much of a fan of chocolate or coffee I still loved the knowledge gained from this tour. We even got to make our own chocolate and add what ingredients we wanted which was a pleasant surprise. Plenty of coffee and chocolate to taste and so cool to learn about the whole process and how things are different in Costa Rica

Great tour

Would most definitely recommend!!

Corbin_M, Dec 2025
My girlfriend and I did this coffee/chocolate tour and it was great! Sergio was our tour guide and he was helpful, friendly, and knowledgeable - the tour was 2 hours but didn’t feel that way! The learning was immersive and interactive and we both felt that we actually could appreciate more about the history and the process of products we both enjoy! The best part was making our own little individual chocolates and getting to taste the local coffee. Would definitely recommend!

Helen_S, Dec 2025
Amazing tour. Very knowledgeable guide named Bryan! We got to try cacao beans and make our own chocolate which was really fun. 10/10 a must if in the area.

Cocao and coffee tour.

Paula_B, Dec 2025
Learned in great detail about cacao and coffee production, as well as varietals. It was my birthday, and I was the first one to break open a Cocoa pod. Our guide was very intelligent and interesting and loved what he was doing and it showed. For the life of me, I cannot remember his name however he was exceptional, and it was on my birthday. Be sure to tip well because they deserve it. Pura Vida.💃🙌🏻🔥

Coffee and chocolate!

Halee_F, Nov 2025
This was such a cool experience! We learnt about the process to make coffee and chocolate and even got to pick coffee beans! We learnt so much we have a different level of appreciation drinking our coffee and eating chocolate now that we know how it all starts and the amount of time and effort it required from Mother Earth and all of its helpers! To end the tour we got to make our own chocolate bars which was really cool. Gigi was our guide and he was awesome!

Good length and learned a lot

Jennifer_F, Sep 2025
