Wonderful class

Tamara_W, Apr 2024

A lovely experience. Our teacher was very animated and did a good job at keeping everyone involved in the process.

Delicious lesson

Jackie_M, Apr 2024

The guide/teach was really nice and helpful. She knows her stuff and was super kind! We made our own cocoa bar where we added the toppings we wanted. We also made and tasted traditional/historical cocoa drinks. Anyone of any age can enjoy this hands on experience.

Awesome

This was a great workshop! My teenage daughter and I had a fun morning doing this. It was educational and interactive. The teacher was awesome!

Fun and delicious class about chocolate.

DANIEL_G, Apr 2024

Fun way to spend an afternoon learning about chocolate, its origin while cooking your own chocolate tablet.

Fun family time

Scot_L, Apr 2024

We took our grandchildren to the chocolate factory for the workshop to make candy bars, and to learn about chocolate. The hour and a half class was very interesting and a whole lotta fun for everybody. Our instructor Jocelyn was very informative in explaining how chocolate goes from the tree to the bean, to cleaning, to grinding and finally into chocolate cream and cocoa powder. The grandkids are nine and 12 and we’re enthralled the entire time. Plus you get to take home a really tasty chocolate bar. Highly recommend!

At energetic class led by a grade teacher who knows they have fun

Robert_B, Apr 2024

Participating in the chocolate preparation process. Including the students in both, making and tasting the various possibilities from from the Coco bean added much more depth to the class

The class was great but not a "must-do" activity in Antigua

Arali_A, Apr 2024

The class was great but not a "must-do" activity in Antigua. It was very educational and we got to try three different chocolate drinks (a shot's worth). We also got to make our own chocolate bar which was nice but it was dark chocolate... wish they had a milk chocolate bar option. Also, the class is $10 cheaper if you go in person and book.

Great experience!

Raphaelle_L, Mar 2024

The lady giving the explanation was entertaining and very nice. It was hands an hand on experience. We had a very nice time.

A bit disappointed

Tatiana_M, Mar 2024

You create your bar with chocolate that is already melted, I wish we would have prepare it. The toppings were good but the chocolate itself wasn’t, which is bad for such a place. Then you start making things, from chocolate beans to paste, which was cool. The host was nice but it was too much of a show, definitely not for shy people.

Family chocolate fun!

Erin_W, Mar 2024

This workshop was fantastic! We enjoyed learning about chocolate and also making our own chocolate. It was a great interactive experience I highly recommend it!

Wonderful!

Melissa_J, Mar 2024

It was a great experience! We learned so much about the chocolate making process and got to try a lot of different chocolate items. A must do!

Tasty. Informative. Cultural. Joyful. Aromatic. Learning.

Kimarah_L, Mar 2024

I can still smell the beautiful chocolatey aroma of the cacao :) It was a wonderful experience of tasting and learning about Mayan culture in regards to chocolate making and the use of cacao, as well as how it has development over time. It was a great interactive experience for my partner and I with the other participants.

Chocolate, Sanger de Vida!!!

ARTHUR_B, Mar 2024

We didn’t realize the class was 2 hours but so glad it was. Jocelyn was a knowledgeable and fun teacher and involved everyone in the class. A really fun experience that added to our Antigua experience. We would certainly do this again!

Chocholate and chocholate drinks

Ingunn_B, Feb 2024

Making the chocholate was the most interesting part, but tasting the beans in different stages was also memorable. The different types of chocholate drinks were good, but none comparable to my mother's hot chocholate.

Great chocolate experience

Julie_B, Feb 2024

The two hours flew by and we learned so much about the whole chocolate process from bean pod to final product. Mariana kept our group together from beginning to end and we all had so much fun. If you have two hours and want to know more about chocolate, this is a great tour for you!

Great Educational and fun experience!

Tawanda_M, Feb 2024
